How to choose the perfect bridal jewellery for your big day

Planning your wedding day involves countless decisions, from the venue to the dress, but one often overlooked detail that can elevate your entire look is your bridal jewellery. As a private fine jewellery designer specialising in bespoke creations, I’ve helped many brides choose the perfect pieces that not only complement their dress but also reflect their unique style and personality.

When it comes to selecting bridal jewellery, there’s no one size fits all approach. Your jewellery should enhance, not overwhelm, your look. Here’s how to choose the perfect pieces:

Match Metals to Your Dress Tone:
If your dress has a warmer tone, like ivory or champagne, yellow or rose gold can add a beautiful richness. For cooler tones, like bright white or silver accents, platinum or white gold is an ideal match. Keep in mind that metals should complement, not clash with, other elements like embellishments on your gown or your engagement ring.

Balance Statement Pieces with Simplicity:
If your dress is intricate, opt for more delicate jewellery to avoid overpowering your look. However, if you’re wearing a simple, minimalist dress, a bold statement piece like a pair of drop earrings or a show-stopping necklace — can bring that extra touch of luxury.

Reflect Your Wedding Theme:
For vintage-inspired weddings, heirloom or vintage style pieces can bring timeless elegance. Modern brides may opt for minimalist designs that reflect sleek, contemporary aesthetics. If your wedding leans towards a more bohemian style, gemstone pieces, particularly those in earth tones, may provide the perfect complement.

Create a Story:
Every piece of jewellery tells a story, and your bridal jewellery should be no different. Whether you’re choosing something with a personal touch, like an engraving, or designing something completely bespoke, make sure your jewellery is as meaningful as the day itself.

When you work with me, you’ll experience a one on one luxury design process, ensuring that your jewellery is just as unique as you are.
