Accessorizing Your Wedding Dress: Jewelry

You’ve found the perfect wedding dress – now it’s time to find the perfect wedding day accessories. Your jewelry, veil, shoes and hair piece make just as big of an impact on your final look as your dress. In fact, they can make or break your look, precisely why accessories are such an important component of your wedding day style.  Of all the wedding day accessories, jewelry can be the most difficult items to choose for a bride. Many brides-to-be struggle with deciding what type of jewelry looks best with their dress, reflects their personal style and matches their wedding’s style.  To make the decision a bit easier, we’ve created a jewelry style guide based on the type of dress the bride has chosen. We hope this helps save you time and keeps you looking stylish.

Strapless Wedding Gowns

With a strapless gown, brides can pull off a gorgeous pair of chandelier earrings. Even if the dress has beading, a sparkling pair of  chandelier or dangle earrings is high enough above the neckline to compliment instead of clash.

Bateau (Boatneck) Neckline Wedding Gowns

The vintage bateau neckline looks lovely with a small pair of pearl studs or diamond earrings.

Halter & Sweetheart Neckline Wedding Gown


Necklaces with delicate pendants are a great choice for a halter or sweetheart neckline gown. Since the straps are near the neck, avoid any overly large earrings, and try to avoid wearing both earrings and a necklace with a halter gown.
