The fashion-conscious understand that the right jewelry can serve as the finishing touch to any look . Therefore , during weddings , when all eyes are on the happy couple , bridal jewelry can be especially important . Those who want to stand apart can look to these trends for their weddings .
Maximum appeal
After several years in which the mantra “ less is more ” has dominated , brides are now embracing the glam factor with their jewelry . Bold choices , sparkly items and statement pieces are favorites among modern couples , says Verstolo Fine Jewelry . Fading into the background has given way to bold earrings , bracelets and necklaces this year .
Floral jewelry
Riding on the coattails of the growing popularity of floral elements on wedding dresses , floral jewelry is big right now as well . Many designers are giving a nod to natural inspiration in their creations , and these pieces add a touch of grace and femininity to bridal style . In addition to floral jewelry made from metals and precious stones , some brides are opting for rosette floral ties made from ribbon or soft jersey fabric that are worn choker-style around the neck .
Pearls Pearls are the latest old-is-new craze in the bridal world and even in everyday attire right now , according to The Knot . Brides can wear pearls on their ears , wrists and neck , and pearls also are right at home on a bridal headband . Cultured pearls are a more affordable option than natural pearls , and can look just as beautiful .
Touches of color
Jewelry can be a way for the bride and others to showcase some color at the wedding . Why not make that “ something blue ” a vibrant pair of blue sapphire or blue topaz earrings ? Couples also may want to opt for wedding bands with a pop of blue or another color rather than a plain band or a colorless gemstone , advise the style experts at Vogue .
Diamond cuff bracelets
Cuff bracelets have been a staple on fashion runways for some time , and they ’ re increasingly spilling into wedding fashion . Diamond cuff bracelets are popular among brides and mothers of the newlyweds , and can be thoughtful gifts for these special ladies .
Jewelry is a personalized choice and should match the style of the dress or other attire . Grooms and groomsmen also may want to make jewelry choices , although they typically are more subdued than those for the ladies . Sparkling cufflinks or a gemstone tie tack are understated choices that can add a pop of style on the wedding day .
