Wedding Day Jewellery

What is wedding jewellery? It is everything that goes to make up the final picture. This includes chokers, necklaces, earrings, bracelets and, of course, tiaras.

Clearly though, the wedding rings make up the most important aspect of wedding jewellery (after the engagement ring, of course). Trends come and go, but what is important is buying rings that suit your personalities and your lifestyles. Brides may want wedding bands that match or complement her engagement ring. Some couples like to have matching wedding bands, with perhaps a broader band for the groom. These bands can be plain or ornate and some couples like to have their names and the wedding date or some other meaningful inscription inside the rings.

Then it is up to the bride to accessorize. What she chooses depends on her gown, her personality and the formality of the occasion. A traditional bride in white will look perfect with diamond earrings and a matching tennis bracelet. Obviously cubic zirconium or Swarovski crystals will look just as good and will not put a dent in your budget.

Pearls, fresh water or cultured, are available in a remarkable range of shape and colour and have always been a favourite with brides. Their perennial elegance makes them a perfect accessory, whether it is a single string or a triple rope of pearls or whether it is a matching set of teardrop pearls made up into earrings and a pendant.

So too, a bride with a really individual sense of style may want to ring the changes with coloured cubic zirconium, which is currently very popular. There are also no rules that prohibit a bride from wearing big, black glass beads or Marcasite earrings.

For her something borrowed, she may wish to add a sentimental touch to her outfit with a brooch from her aunt, used to pin the sash around her waist, or to borrow some vintage earrings or a tiara from grandma.

Sometimes, all the bride needs to wear to show off a perfect neckline is a simple gold cross on a fine gold chain.

A thoughtful bride could make a gift of the jewellery worn by the bridesmaids. There is such variety at ones disposal these days. The range of elegant Swarovski pearls and crystal available make it a simple and relatively inexpensive task to match all aspects of ones wedding jewellery. This is particularly pleasing once one has decided on a wedding theme.

Well-chosen accessories can be the perfect finishing touches to your perfect day.

Wedding day hair tips

These wedding day hair tips will help you decide on a style that suit you and your look.

    Decorate your hair with accessories such as headbands, tiny flower studs, jeweled hairpins, or a princess tiara. When shopping for these wedding hair accessories, try to wear your hair in your bridal style to make sure the accessories will work.
    Tiaras are back in and are a fantastic choice as they look great on both short and long hair. You'll feel like a princess too!
    To get your hair looking and feeling healthy, make sure to use a good shampoo and conditioner for your hair type a few weeks before your wedding day. Be sure that you always test any hair products you will be using on the day in advance. You don't want any nasty surprises on your wedding day.
    Bear in mind that up-hairstyles have the tendency to age you. If your style is too tight, this will show in your face, especially in the photos. A simple chignon pulled back is much more relaxing on your head and face
    Aim not to put too much product in your hair. Most modern brides with long hair wear it half up and half down these days. this creates a nice gentle look and creates a much softer illusions than having it all up.
    Alternately, sometimes hair that is too loose can look messy. You don't want to have your wedding hair competing with your wedding dress or veil. For photography, avoid too many  pieces around your head as they will take away from your face. If you decide to wear your hair down, make sure it doesn't clash with jewellery or your gown's neckline
    If you have short hair, a polished, simple and worn off the face look will best suit you. If you have a fringe, this should be the only hair on your face.
