Picking Jewellery To Match Your Wedding Dress

Sometimes your dream necklace and your dream wedding dress will unfortunately not make the perfect bridal outfit. The following is a list of popular long formal dresses for juniors wedding dress styles, with jewellery suggestions to match them.

Off-the-shoulder Dress

There is a lot of dolletage on show with this style of dress so you don really have much for your jewellery to compete with. You could therefore go for any style you wish. However, always bear in mind the level of detail on the dress. For a very simple dress with little or no embroidery, we would recommend a delicate necklace teamed with matching earrings to compliment the simplicity of the top of this dress.

Scoop neck Dress

A scoop-neck on a dress is another versatile choice when it comes to choosing your Bridal Jewellery, as all necklace shapes will compliment the neckline. Our favourites for a scoop-neck dress would be a dramatic pendant drop necklace teamed with a single-strand pearl bracelet, which will complete your wedding look perfectly and very elegantly.

Sweetheart Dress

With a sweetheart neckline, the neckline is almost an accessory in itself and flatters the bride's neck and shoulders beautifully all on its own. Therefore you need to be careful not to over-accessorise it with elaborate Bridal Jewellery, and instead complement the shape. A sweetheart bodice looks stunning with a pendant necklace and matching earrings, which mirror the shape of the neckline.

Open Backed Dress

A great way to show off a backless dress is with a Bridal Choker with a hanging emellishment on the back. Bridal chokers give you an edgier look while still embracing the classic, elegant look.

V Neck Dress

When a bride is wearing a v neck style wedding gown, Y-drop necklaces are a very nice touch for bridal necklace jewellry. The Y-drop necklace takes the same angles as the v neck wedding gown line. Bridal chokers are also a great selection for the bride that is wearing a v line dress. The choker gives clean lines and does not distract from the v neck style of dress. Regular simple and double strand necklaces also work very nicely for this style of wedding gown, as they provide a simple but elegant style that compliments the v neck.

Square Top Dress

For the brides that select a very traditional square top wedding gown, simple, single strand and double strand bridal jewelry necklaces are a great way to finish off the neckline. They bring contrast and attract the eye towards the cut of the dress. For a very clean lined look, bridal jewelry chokers are the most perfect style of bridal jewelry necklines for the square top dress. The bridal choker has become more and more popular as the years pass, now with so many options available; brides are finding it easier to select the perfect bridal jewelry choker that fits the style of their gowns.

Off The Shoulder Dress

When wearing an off of the shoulder dress, any style of bridal jewellry necklace works. A regular single or double strand necklace can frame out your entire bridal look with simplicity. If you choose to wear a bridal jewellry choker, that brings the eyes up to the face with ease as it finished off your bridal look. Y-drops work great with the off the shoulder dress. You can't go wrong with what ever style of Bridal Jewellery you choose for this dress.

Asymmetric or One long sleeve prom dresses Shoulder Dress

With the asymmetric gown, it is best to choose a great bracelet and pair of earrings, as a necklace will look unbalanced and unnatural. The one shoulder dress is a bold move; match it with a bold Bridal Bracelet and glamorous Bridal Earrings.

Scoop Neck Gown

When wearing the scooped neck gown a simple one or multi-strand necklace is perfect. A necklace such as the simple one to five strand bridal necklaces will frame out the top of your wedding gown perfectly. A bridal jewellry choker is also a really nice selection for this style of dress. It is a simple and evenly tops off the scoop neckline.

About Wedding Dress Rentals

Visiting bridal shops and buying the perfect wedding dress has been a rite of passage for many brides. However, many brides are now renting their wedding dress. Some brides rent a wedding dress to save money while others do it for convenience. Wedding dresses can be renting in most styles, sizes and price ranges.

Function

The bride selects the wedding dress several months before the wedding and reserves it for the wedding date. The bride picks up the wedding dress before the wedding and returns it to the shop after the wedding. Many rental shops also offer shoes, veils and jewelry for rent with the dress.

Benefits

One of the main benefits of renting a dress is cost. It is significantly cheaper to rent a dress than it is to purchase the same quality dress. If you are having a destination wedding, you can rent a dress at the wedding destination. This saves you the time, money and hassle of shipping or transporting the dress. By renting a wedding dress, you also save the time of not having to dry clean, preserve and store your dress after the dress.

Effects

One of the downsides of renting a wedding dress is that you have to return the dress after the wedding and cannot pass it on to one of your future children. Because you have to return the dress, you also must be extra careful while you are wearing the dress. If you damage the dress, you pay for the damage or purchase the dress.

Considerations

When selecting a wedding dress rental shop, ask about alternations. Some shops allow you to alter the dress before the wedding, but others require that you wear the dress as is. Ask how many days you can pick the dress up before the wedding and when you must have it returned by. Verify any deposits required or damage fees before signing a rental contract. If you are leaving from the reception to your honeymoon, make arrangements for a friend or family member to return the dress.

Misconceptions

Many people think that wedding dresses available for rent are used. Some shops rent new dresses to brides and then sell the dresses as used dresses. People often think that only low end dresses are available for rent. However, many high end designer dresses are available in rental shops
