Pearls for your wedding day
Pearls naturally enhance a wedding dress and bring a feeling of elegance to your special day. Read on to find out how to choose and wear pearls on your wedding day.
Pearls are ideal for wedding jewellery. They add a sense of sophistication and occasion to the wedding and show your poise and class. Their lustre is soft and muted. Most important, the colour naturally complements your wedding dress. But before you rush out and buy pearl wedding jewellery, there are a few basic rules that you need to follow to look your best.
The first and most important rule is to be subtle. The attention should be on you and your beautiful dress, not an abundance of jewellery. Don’t wear a pearl necklace, large earrings and a bracelet all at once. You want to use a single piece as an accent. Less is more.
Remember to choose an item of pearl jewellery that matches the colour of your dress. If you have a cream or raw silk dress, choose cream coloured pearls. If you have a white dress, you can choose white or silvery pearls. Order your jewellery in plenty of time and check it against your wedding dress. Don’t leave it to the last minute or you may find that it doesn’t really match, and it is too late then to buy the right colour.
Use pearls to draw attention to your features and dress. If you have a sleeveless wedding dress, you can choose a pearl bracelet to draw attention to your hands and arms. If you are wearing your hair up, you may like to consider some dangling pearl earrings (for example, tear drop shaped pearls) to draw attention to your face.
Finally, consider pearls for gift for your bridesmaids. A pearl necklace is a unique and memorable bridal party gift that will bring back memories of the day and your friendship. It is a generous gift that your bridesmaids will value and appreciate. Pearl necklaces are available at a range of prices and you can easily choose some very reasonably priced but beautiful gifts such as freshwater pearls.
