Pearls and diamonds are natural choices for a bride; their dazzling purity and elegance pairs well with wedding dresses, and they are set in a wide variety of styles perfect for both the boho bride and the classic bride. If your dress is already sparkly and complex, consider going with simple diamond studs to accentuate the sparkle but not overdo it. If your gown is simpler in its decorations, choose pearl jewelry to keep it classy and highlight your simple elegance. Our staff at Parker's Karat Patch Jewelers in the Montreat area can help you decide which style is best to pair with your dress and find the right length of diamond or pearl necklace to complement the neckline of your dress.
Depending on your wedding colors, picking jewelry with accent colors can really tie the whole thing together. Sapphires in various hues are perfect for blue or even yellow-themed celebrations, like those at the beach. Rubies are perfect for fall weddings accented by rich jewel tones. If you don't want to match your wedding colors but would love some nontraditional gemstones that shimmer and shine, consider iridescent opals or moonstone. Jade, emerald, or peridot will match any bouquet of greenery or outdoor wedding. Adding accent colors to your wedding day jewelry is a fabulous way to tie together your color scheme — especially for the times when you aren't holding your bouquet!
You're probably laser-focused on the big day, but don't forget about the rest of the weekend! From the rehearsal dinner to the after-party and everything in between, your jewelry is important the whole weekend long. A simple pair of pearl or diamond studs is the perfect go-with-anything accessory that you can wear for your bridal shower and rehearsal. It's fun to incorporate some of your color scheme into your jewelry with colored gemstones that you can wear with your bridal weekend attire: go for color with a breezy and relaxed necklace for brunch, and show off your sophisticated side with mysterious Tahitian pearl earrings at your rehearsal dinner. Choose pieces you can wear during your wedding weekend and on your honeymoon to get the most out of your new jewelry!
While it's true that the bride has the most fun accessories, it's important for the groom to have something nice for the wedding, too! Tie clips, tie bars, and cufflinks are all subtle accessories to dress him up and will make a big impact. Get matching tie clips for all the groomsmen as a special gift, and be sure to take advantage of custom engraving to get the date of your wedding commemorated forever on this keepsake. Custom cufflinks would be a beautiful place to represent your new last name or bring in a pop of your wedding color by inlaying a colorful gemstone.
