Bridal jewelry according to the dress

Your wedding day is an extremely important date that you will undoubtedly remember for the rest of your life. Furthermore, the bride receives special attention on this day, as everyone eagerly awaits to discover the chosen look for the occasion. For this reason, you must pay close attention to every detail and create perfect, coherent harmony for the entire ensemble. Choosing the jewellery for the bride according to the dress is a crucial step in helping with this task and ensuring that the result is in harmony.

Bridal jewellery is a key part of the wedding day, as it will complement the dress and help it shine even more brightly. It is very important that it does not overshadow the central element or take away its prominence, which is why selecting the perfect jewellery for the bride is essential if she wants to enhance every aspect of the dress.

Before choosing the jewellery for your wedding

The best advice you'll receive when looking for your bridal jewellery is to choose timeless pieces that you can continue wearing on other important occasions, without forgetting that they should be jewellery you feel comfortable and at ease with. Sophisticated bridal jewellery will help elevate the entire look without overshadowing other central elements.

On the other hand, never buy your jewellery before the dress. In principle, it should be the jewellery that adapts to the wedding dress, not the other way around. And although all types of jewellery are allowed at a wedding, it’s best if they can be easily combined with one another.

Bridal jewellery according to the dress

Taking the dress into account when choosing the jewellery is essential to create the right harmony. To find the perfect bridal jewellery, there are some key points directly related to the dress, such as the fabric, whether it includes details like embellishments, lace, or embroidery... but above all, you should consider the neckline, the style, and the colour. In the specific case of bracelets, wearing them on this special day will depend on the sleeve style of the dress, but one type of bracelet that pairs well with almost everything is the rivière.

Bridal jewellery according to the dress neckline

Strapless and sweetheart neckline

This type of neckline leaves the neck and chest area exposed. On its own, it works very well, so it doesn’t require overly elaborate jewellery to look beautiful. You can choose a set of fine and small necklace and earrings, or just wear one of the two options in a slightly more eye-catching version, either with a flattering necklace or long earrings.

Square neckline

As this is a more closed neckline, you can skip wearing a necklace, but if you choose to wear one, it’s important that the length does not reach or surpass the edge of the neckline (unless it’s a vintage-style dress that requires it). The ideal length is about two fingers above the neckline. Small or teardrop-shaped earrings work well with this neckline, as do long earrings, although in this case, they will look better as standalone jewellery.

Boat neckline

This neckline highlights the neck, shoulders, and collarbones, so simple jewellery works best. Since it enhances the neck area, it’s better to skip necklaces or choose one that isn’t too loose and is delicate. Medium-length earrings, button earrings, or earrings with stones to highlight the eyes are a must.

V-neckline

Jewellery for a deep V-neck dress can serve two purposes: to draw more attention to the neckline or to lighten it. In the first case, a long, intricate necklace works well, especially if it has a pendant (like a teardrop, with stones, etc.), but always ensure it’s not longer than the neckline itself. In the second case, it’s better to go for fine jewellery, or even skip the necklace and wear long earrings instead.

Round and illusion neckline

These necklines are typically quite high, so it’s better not to wear a necklace, as it would detract from the overall look of the dress. Button earrings, teardrop-shaped earrings, and those with pendants suit this style well.

Asymmetric neckline

The jewellery for a bridal dress with an asymmetric neckline depends on whether the design is simple or elaborate. For a simpler style, bold, voluminous earrings fit perfectly, while for a more elaborate design, it’s better to opt for smaller pieces. In this case, it’s also best to avoid wearing a necklace, as it would disrupt the balance of the design.

Halter neckline

This neckline already adorns the neck on its own, so as with the previous cases, it’s better not to complement it with a necklace. The best option is to wear teardrop-shaped earrings to add a romantic touch, or any smaller piece.

Bridal jewellery according to the dress style

Because it's not the same to wear a classic design as it is to wear a bridal outfit consisting of a blazer and trousers, the jewellery must adapt to the style of each dress, allowing for its own stylistic liberties.

• For classic dresses, the jewellery that best complements them is also in line with the same aesthetic, with the key features being sophistication and elegance in the designs.
• For a vintage-style dress, jewellery with period designs and more elaborate details, including precious stones and various materials, will make a perfect match.
• Simple, minimalist dresses call for fine and subtle jewellery to add a flowing touch to the overall look.
• Boho dresses allow for the inclusion of original pieces with different textures, adding warmth and a carefree vibe to the design.
• Modern dresses with innovative cuts pair wonderfully with bold, original jewellery to highlight those more contemporary lines.

Bridal jewellery according to the dress colour

The materials chosen for the jewellery you wear on your wedding day will also have a significant impact on how the dress shines and stands out. Conversely, a poor choice will dull the overall result.

• The champagne tone of a dress will complement both yellow gold and sterling silver jewellery very well, even with some stone inlays. The same goes for the diamond white tone, to which rose gold or pearls (if you're not superstitious) can also be added.
• For nuclear white dresses, it's better to opt for white gold or silver, as they blend better with the colour, unlike ivory-coloured dresses, which are enhanced by yellow gold.
• For wedding dresses in different colours, such as pink or blue, diamonds match perfectly.

Other important aspects in bridal jewellery

When selecting bridal jewellery, it's very important to consider other details in addition to the dress, as outlined below:

• Facial Features: Square faces should avoid asymmetrical or angular jewellery, which creates more defined lines, and instead look for pieces that soften the features. For round faces, elongated jewellery is ideal to stylise and add length to the face, or button earrings that refine the complexion. Elongated faces should avoid jewellery that further lengthens the face and instead opt for rounded pieces. Lastly, oval-shaped faces can wear a wide variety of jewellery styles.
• Hairstyle: For loose hairstyles, long earrings will stand out in the hair (this also applies to short hair), so bold designs will suit perfectly. If the bride has a semi-updo that leaves the face exposed, small, close-fitting earrings will be a perfect choice, while loose strands of hair will be beautifully complemented by earrings that stand out among the locks. If the bride is wearing an updo with her face fully exposed, both simple and more daring styles will work well.

As you can see, choosing bridal jewellery according to the dress requires considering various aspects to create a harmonious and perfectly coordinated look. Find your wedding jewellery in our catalogue and achieve your dream look.
