Choosing a wedding dress and creating an overall image is a very important stage of wedding preparation for every bride. Whether she wants it or not, the appearance of a young wife always attracts attention and causes discussion at the celebration. Therefore, it is in the interests of every bride to correctly select all the details of the image, including jewelry to match the wedding dress.
Modern wedding decorations for 2021 are very diverse, and their style is aimed at breaking boundaries and frames. Bold and original solutions allow the bride to choose what she likes and look stunning at the same time. But there are still generally accepted rules for combining clothes and accessories that allow a young wife to look harmonious and beautiful. The Svadebka.ws portal will tell you in detail how to choose the perfect decoration for a wedding dress, and will also provide photos of jewelry for your inspiration.
Basic Rules
When choosing jewelry, a girl, of course, should focus on personal taste. However, it doesn’t hurt to listen to the recommendations of stylists.
- Moderation . You should not try to put on your entire “stock” of jewelry at once. The bride's image should not resemble a Christmas tree.
- Harmony . All selected jewelry should fit well with each other and match the dress.
- Style . Cheap jewelry is absolutely not suitable for a wedding look. It is better to do without jewelry at all than to wear a low-quality item.
Helpful information
A few days before the wedding you should not change the color of your hair. If the option is unsuccessful, it will be quite difficult to change anything. As a result, the wedding celebration will be overshadowed by an annoying surprise.
If you still want to update your hair color, you can do coloring or beautiful highlights. It is advisable to do this at least 14 days before the wedding. In case of failure, you will have enough time to correct the error.
At least 30 days before the wedding, take proper care of your hair so that it looks shiny and healthy on the wedding day.
For this purpose, you can use vegetable oils, nourishing and moisturizing masks, rinses made with natural herbs, and much more. On well-groomed and healthy hair, almost any haircut or styling will look good.
- Be careful and scrupulous in choosing a hairdresser who will help you choose the right hairstyle for your wedding outfit and protect you from mistakes.
- It is not recommended to get a new haircut or trim the ends of your hair a few days before the wedding. The hairstylist who will help you with your wedding hair will remove excess hair and revive the ends.
- Hair styling for a wedding should be selected individually for a specific dress: according to its style, cut, material and color. If you doubt the correctness of the chosen styling, seek advice from an experienced stylist.
- The styling made for the wedding ceremony must be securely fixed. This will allow you to maintain it throughout the day and prevent your hair from becoming disheveled.
- Give preference to a comfortable hairstyle so that it does not bother you or create discomfort.
- The hairstyle can be complemented with beautiful jewelry. However, keep a balance when choosing their quantity. Do not decorate your hair with different types of accessories at the same time. Give preference to one thing: a veil, a hat, a hairpin with stones, a decorative flower or a tiara.
- It is best to wash your hair the day before the wedding. The fact is that it is much more difficult to do a hairstyle on clean hair.
- The more formal the wedding attire, the bolder you can choose accessories and hair decorations.
Be sure to do a trial hairstyle a few days before the wedding to be sure that it will fully match the chosen style. It is advisable to try on the wedding dress at the same time in order to evaluate the entire image created. In this case, you will have enough time and opportunity to make adjustments to it.
Choosing a necklace
A necklace (beads, pendant), that is, a neck decoration, is chosen in accordance with the style of the wedding dress. To choose jewelry for your wedding dress, you need to pay attention to the shape of the neckline.
- Bustier . If you choose a dress with completely open shoulders, then the choice of neck decoration is practically unlimited. However, if the bodice and especially the neckline are richly decorated with rhinestones, then the decoration should be small and elegant. In this case, it is better to move the shining accent to the hairstyle.
- Thin straps . For this outfit, we recommend a necklace in one row, a thin chain with a pendant, or a string of pearls.
- V-shaped neckline . Jewelry for such a dress should follow the shape of the neckline, that is, the ideal choice would be a chain with a pendant in the shape of a drop or a diamond. You can completely abandon the necklace, replacing it with a spectacular brooch. The image will be unconventional and very fresh.
- Strap in the form of a loop around the neck . It is better not to wear a necklace with such a dress, giving preference to other types of jewelry.
- Round neckline . This form of neckline “requires” decoration in one row, for example, a string of pearls will look good.
- Heart shaped neckline . It is recommended to wear light and elegant necklaces with this dress.
- No cutout . If the dress is made with a turtleneck or has a stand-up collar, then neck decorations should be abandoned.
Tips for choosing a hairstyle for a wedding dress
In order to correctly select and combine all the elements of the bride’s image, it would be useful to familiarize yourself with the advice of professional stylists. For example, it is not recommended to change your hair color immediately before a wedding. If suddenly the new image does not suit you, it will be extremely difficult to return to your former appearance. It is better to paint, highlight or color two weeks before the wedding. If the coloring unexpectedly turns out to be unsuccessful, you will have time to fix everything.
About a month before the wedding, experts recommend taking care of your hair. Use all kinds of oils and nourishing masks. Any haircut will look more impressive on well-groomed hair. You shouldn't get your hair cut before your wedding. The hair stylist who will help you choose your wedding hairstyle will remove excess hair where necessary. At the same time, the styling must be securely fixed in order to remain perfect throughout the wedding day.
To choose the best wedding hairstyle, pay attention to comfortable styles that will not hinder your movements. There is no need for discomfort on such an important day for you.
You should also choose the right jewelry wisely. The number of accessories should be balanced. You should not simultaneously decorate yourself with a veil, tiara, hat and hairpins with voluminous flowers. Choose one thing that will best highlight the style of your image.
Be sure to do a trial hairstyle to make sure you choose the right one. Ideally, evaluate the entire image in advance, the compatibility of the chosen styling and the wedding dress. If you don't like the hairstyle, you will have time to make the necessary adjustments. Be careful when choosing a specialist. Stylists say that styling hair on clean hair is much more difficult. Be prepared for the hairdresser to ask you to wash your hair the day before the wedding or the evening before the holiday.
By fabric and material texture
To choose a beautiful hairstyle for a wedding dress, you should take into account the material from which the dress is made. In this regard, stylists also have several simple recommendations. If you choose a satin dress with silk inserts, go for a hairstyle with smooth, shiny hair. Light chiffon will look perfect with a slightly casual, almost airy hairstyle. Lace and guipure dresses are interestingly combined with curls of different sizes.
Considering your face shape and hair length
How to choose the perfect hairstyle? First of all, you need to take into account the features of your face shape. To correct a square shape, you should lighten the strands framing your face slightly. This technique will help smooth out the angularity a little. In this case, a rounded hairstyle would be an excellent choice. The bangs should be given the shape of a semicircle. Experts advise choosing styles that involve the presence of strands on the face. Secure the veil to the back of your head with bobby pins.
Happy owners of oval-shaped faces can choose almost any hairstyle. To highlight your ideal shape, dye the strands around your face dark. In this case, to choose a suitable hairstyle, be guided by the style of the dress. If the bride has a heart-shaped face, the frontal part of her hair should be dyed a darker shade. Large curls at the bottom of the hairstyle will help balance the proportions and balance out a narrow chin.
Chubby beauties should choose a hairstyle in which the hair in the frontal area is colored in a lighter shade, and in the face – in a darker shade. There should not be much volume on the sides of the head. You should not make your bangs too long, and leave the parting on the side. For girls with long faces, stylists recommend lightening the strands near the cheeks and slightly darkening the hair in the frontal area. Long bangs with volume on the sides are suitable
To distract attention from a wide chin, create a full top of your hairstyle.
Choosing earrings
Earrings should be selected taking into account the shape of the face and the hairstyle you plan to do.
Most simply, for brides who have an oval-shaped face, earrings of any shape suit them. Chubby girls are recommended to wear long and narrow earrings. If your face shape is closer to a square, then it is better to choose droplet-shaped earrings, but jewelry in the shape of rectangles and diamonds should be avoided. For girls with a triangular-shaped face, pendants in the form of chains with balls at the ends are ideal.
Decorating the neckline area
In various wedding salons and on thematic websites you can find a myriad of different pendants, beads, pendants and necklaces. In order not to get confused in the assortment, keep in mind that the shape of the jewelry should match the shape of your face. So, for example, an elongated long necklace, chain or pendant is suitable for chubby ladies, but it is not advisable to buy jewelry of the “collar” type, under the throat.
An elongated face type can be emphasized with the help of a rounded short necklace with round stones and pearls. Y or V shaped jewelry is suitable for a rectangular face. They will visually lengthen the face.
For girls with a triangular face shape, we can recommend multi-tiered complex jewelry that will balance a sharp chin compared to a wide forehead.
Of course, the necklace or beads should match the neckline of the bride's dress. You shouldn't buy massive stones if you have an elegant boat neckline. It’s good if you try on all the jewelry, dress and gloves together.
It is impossible to describe all possible jewelry for the neck and décolleté, so let’s look at the most common ones, suitable for almost any dress.
- Beads. Long or short beads made from small or large beads are a classic decoration, a sign of simplicity and elegance. You can match beads to almost any neckline. At the same time, it is desirable that the earrings also have beads for harmony. And lovers of extravagance can choose beads of atypical shapes, for example, with diamond-shaped, oval or rectangular beads.
- Necklace. This beautiful word refers to a neck decoration in the form of a hoop, the central part of which is highlighted in one way or another. The center of the necklace is always wider. This part may contain various stones, flowers, beads, rhinestones. But remember that everything is good in moderation. A necklace that is too powerful and flashy will overshadow the dress and the bride herself. Decoration should complement, and not exist separately.
- Necklace. This is a decoration in the form of a hoop, usually short, located close to the neck. The necklace can be one-piece, braided, sectional, have rhinestones and sparkles. There are several types of necklaces: collar, collar, choker (multi-tiered necklace).
- Pendants . It’s rare to see small, elegant pendants or large, catchy ones at weddings. This is not the most common type of jewelry for the bride. However, if the wedding is stylized, then this option is also suitable.
- Pendants with massive stones. This is a decoration for bright brides. Such pendants are not suitable for all girls and not for every dress. This bold option will look great with a short dress or pantsuit.
- Cameos. Delicate and sophisticated cameos will come in handy at a vintage wedding. Cameos combine bead details and a pendant usually with a carving of a woman's profile. This decoration goes well with a casual floor-length dress and a hairstyle decorated with flowers.
- Chains . Chains are perhaps the rarest decoration for weddings. However, massive jewelry made from woven chains will look good at a rock and roll wedding. Sometimes brides wear their favorite chain, which brings them good luck.
Jewelry for hand
It is not customary to wear rings to a wedding; the only and main decoration of the fingers on this day should be a wedding ring. But bracelets can become part of a wedding look.
Of course, a bracelet is not a traditional wedding accessory, but it can harmoniously fit into the look if the bride has chosen a sleeveless dress. Of course, the jewelry on your hand should be in harmony with other details of the image.
The bracelet can be narrow or wide, rigid or with movable elements. You can wear a wide bracelet on your right hand, which turns into a ring that fits on your middle finger.
Wide bracelets decorated with shining crystals are beautiful. But when choosing this decoration, you must definitely pay attention to their quality. The crystals should be well fixed to the base, not scratch the skin or cling to clothing.
Volumetric pearl bracelets also look great. This decoration can be worn either on a bare hand or on a glove.
Stylish wedding accessories 2020–2021: jewelry
It is impossible to imagine the image of a bride without wedding jewelry, which is replete with the windows of all wedding salons. In order not to get lost in the variety of assortments, it makes sense to decide on the most important trends
- Pearl threads have long become a wedding classic, and therefore will suit every bride, regardless of what style of dress was chosen.
- Laconic chains with pendants made of stones and rhinestones. Such an elegant decoration will perfectly match a lush and rich wedding dress.
- Collars have become a real trend for the 2020 wedding season. They are often quite large in size and embroidered with massive stones or decorated with all kinds of lace and embroidery.
Kits
It is best if the jewelry for the wedding dress is presented as a set. That is, this is not just a necklace and earrings, but a set in which one thing complements the other.
Pearl
Pearl jewelry is a classic choice for a wedding. A string of pearls and stud earrings is a simple and elegant set that will suit almost any look.
For an off-the-shoulder dress, you can opt for a multi-strand pearl necklace. And if the outfit has a triangular neckline, then it is better to choose a chain with a pearl pendant. In this case, the color of the metal should be selected depending on the tone of the dress; white metals are ideal for snow-white shades; for warm shades of white, it is better to choose jewelry made of yellow metal.
Crystals
Jewelry with crystals looks attractive; under the light of the sun or lamps, the crystals shine almost the same way as real diamonds. Therefore, necklaces and earrings with crystals are a great choice for a wedding. You just need to not overdo it with glitter.
That is, if the dress does not have rhinestone decor, then decorations with crystals will be appropriate, otherwise they will be clearly unnecessary.
We select jewelry depending on the image of the bride
Classic
If the wedding look does not have any emphasis on any particular style, it can be safely called a classic. What jewelry would be appropriate for this look?
- Earrings. Openwork items with stones made of white gold and silver are well suited to the classic style. An off-the-shoulder outfit will be complemented by elongated models. With a closed neckline and high hairstyle, small earrings or studs with stones look harmonious. For a classic wedding look, we recommend the “Perfection” collection.
- Necklaces. An elegant pendant on a thin chain will suit a dress with open shoulders or a deep neckline. To make the look harmonious, the necklace and earrings should be from the same set or match well. A wedding dress without embroidery and lace can be complemented with a massive necklace. But in this case, do not overload the look with massive earrings, giving preference to studs or small models.
- Bracelets. You can recognize the classic among wedding images by the bride’s bare arms – no long sleeves, no gloves. Therefore, a bracelet that accentuates a fragile wrist will be very useful. A thin string of pearls, an openwork chain with stone inserts, or a narrow, rigid model will do.
- Hair jewelry. The classic wedding look is perfectly complemented by tiaras and tiaras. They make luxurious hairstyles. But be careful: if you decide on such a decoration, you will have to abandon the necklace.
Romantic wedding look
On such a romantic day, you want to look the part. When creating an image, they use lace, light, airy fabrics and, of course, flowers. The romantic image emphasizes femininity and tenderness; you want to shower such a bride with kisses and carry her in your arms. What jewelry should a bride wear to a romantic wedding?
- Earrings. Modest, small-sized models are ideal for a romantic look.
- Suspension. Neck decorations are also chosen to be inconspicuous or abandoned altogether. A romantic look usually involves a closed dress, so pendants are not always appropriate.
- Hair ornaments. Although this wedding style is reminiscent of classics, a tiara or tiara does not suit it. It is better to decorate your hair with artificial flowers made of foamiran, ribbons or beautiful hairpins.
Greek image
Now you can arrange weddings in the Greek style, the main accent of which is the toga wedding dress. By the way, this is one of the few bridesmaid looks that goes well with gold jewelry. Our recommendations for selecting jewelry for the Greek style:
- Earrings. Both tiny studs and massive models will look harmonious. Instead of openwork elegant classics with stones, give preference to smooth metal or earrings with a geometric pattern.
- Hair decorations. This style is suitable for hair flowing freely over the shoulders, styling with small braids or a hairstyle in the Greek style, when the hair is gathered into a neat bun using a special hoop. These hairstyles are decorated with chains, ribbons, and gold wreaths.
- Bracelets. Wide massive rings on both wrists of the bride are an excellent solution for the Greek style. They contrast effectively with the simple style of the dress, adding a special touch to the wedding look. A detachable bracelet on your shoulder will look good.
Wedding look in the style of "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
Charming Audrey Hepburn is an example of elegance, femininity and coquetry for many women. Therefore, it is not surprising that one of the famous films with her participation formed the basis of a fashionable image today. A Breakfast at Tiffany's wedding is a glamorous and rather difficult decision to implement. To implement it adequately, you must either have impeccable taste - no worse than Holly Golightly! – or entrust the organization to a good designer.
We recommend the following jewelry for this look:
- Earrings. Models with large pearls or small ones, but certainly expensive and luxurious, are perfect for the “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” style. By the way, clip-on earrings fit well into this look.
- Neck decoration. A massive necklace with stones or three strands of pearl beads will go well with discreet earrings and the overall look.
- Hair ornament. A satin ribbon, stilettos with pearls or a tiara generously decorated with stones effectively complement such a glamorous look.
"Winter's Tale"
Wedding season is considered to be the warm season. But winter opens up new spaces for creating an amazing look. The winter landscape seems to be a continuation of the white dress, and the fur cape makes the wedding look royally luxurious.
What jewelry is suitable for a “winter” bride?
- Earrings. This look goes well with classic white metal models with stones and openwork patterns. We recommend choosing massive, elongated earrings; they will highlight your luxurious look.
- Hair ornaments. A veil does not go well with a fur cape, so you can and should choose hairpins and hairpins with rhinestones or white foamiran flowers. A tiara or diadem is also appropriate.
- We do not recommend bracelets, pendants and necklaces for a winter look. They will not be visible under the cape; these decorations only cool the body.
"Russian beauty"
A sweet Russian beauty is an image genetically embedded in our girls. This style is also suitable for winter, but unlike the cold “snow queen” it is filled with warmth and soulfulness.
You can approach the design of the bride's outfit in the image of a Russian beauty in a comprehensive manner: choose a closed retro dress, bright low-heeled boots, a good sheepskin coat or sheepskin coat. Or simply throw a wide embroidered scarf over your shoulders, which will make even the classic wedding style sound like Russian traditions.
In Rus' it has always been said that modesty adorns a woman. How to choose wedding jewelry to match your look?
- Earrings. Modest “studs” or pearls suit a Russian bride much better than luxurious jewelry. Earrings in the shape of flowers, such as poppies, would also be appropriate. In Russian traditional costume, the red color and floral motifs are given a separate, perhaps the most significant place; this can be used when creating an image.
- Beads. Pearls in 2-3 strands or a necklace made of large red beads will effectively complement the image of a Russian beauty. It is acceptable to wear a discreet pendant or an Orthodox cross on a thin chain.
- Head decorations. The hairstyle can be complemented with hairpins with pearls, flowers, a wreath and, of course, a kokoshnik. This accessory will fit most harmoniously into the image.
boho
Boho style is a modern fashion trend. This is an echo of the freedom-loving 70s, stylish, original and opening up huge spaces for experimentation. Boho has also reached weddings, and has become so popular in Russia that it can compete with classics and shabby chic. The bride in this image resembles a forest nymph: free, natural, mysterious. She wears a loose-fitting dress, often made of crocheted lace, open sandals instead of stilettos, and her hair is loose or casually tied up.
What jewelry should a bride wear to complement her wedding look in this style?
- Earrings. You can choose small, inconspicuous or massive ones, the main thing is that there should be no sparkling stones. Boho style does not tolerate glamor and chic. It looks simple, but not cheap.
- Bracelets. Boho originated during the hippie era, when it was fashionable to wear baubles on the wrists. Therefore, bracelets will fit very harmoniously into such a wedding look. You can put different models on one hand, combine thin chains, Bismarcks and wide solid models with different patterns - in general, there is enormous freedom for creativity.
- Hair ornaments. A thin ribbon encircling the frontal part of the head immediately reveals a boho style. In the context of a wedding look, you can use strings of pearls. Hairpins with flowers and wreaths are also appropriate.
- Rings. Boho is one of the few wedding looks in which, in addition to the engagement ring, other rings are acceptable. This is a slightly provocative style that seems to refuse to obey laws and prejudices. An original ring without a stone, a ring on the upper phalanx or thumb will complement the look well.
Of the options listed, use only one or two together. There should not be a lot of decorations, otherwise the image will turn out to be overloaded and clumsy.
And in conclusion: there are no ugly brides. Because, regardless of the wedding look, the main decoration of every girl remains the sparkle of happy eyes. We invite you to get acquainted with the collections of jewelry that will help highlight this shine, and with all our hearts we wish your future family love and harmony.
A few more tips from stylists
You need to choose jewelry for a wedding look very carefully, thinking through every detail. Here are some tips to help brides:
- The most popular theme for wedding decorations is flowers. Plant motifs prevail in the collections of fashion designers, and this is not surprising. The Vedas flower is a symbol of femininity and tenderness.
- When choosing jewelry, do not forget about the main rule: dresses with a laconic cut can be combined with massive jewelry, dresses with complex styles and rich decor look better with elegant jewelry.
- When creating an image, never mix jewelry of different colors. For example, a pearl bracelet should not be worn if the neckline is decorated with a necklace with crystals.
- To accurately select jewelry, you should first decide on the theme of the wedding, choose your general style, and only then purchase additions to it. Only in this case the image will be complete and harmonious.
What color of a wedding dress to choose: signs and traditions
We are used to thinking that the bride should wear white. Moreover, it is desirable that none of the guests in white come again. White is the color of innocence and purity. However, if the bride does not want to wear white, she has the right to choose any other color. Let's look at the most common colors for a wedding dress and superstitions regarding colors.
Red. Nowadays it is generally accepted that red is the color of aggression, and it is absolutely forbidden to get married in it. However, few people remember that initially in Rus' brides were given in marriage in red attire. It’s not for nothing that “red” and “beautiful” are synonymous. According to ancient Slavic tradition, a red sundress, embroidered with patterns, protected an innocent girl from an evil eye. Dark-skinned girls will definitely like the scarlet color, but fair-skinned ladies with a tendency towards redness will have to give it up.
White. A white wedding dress is a classic. This tradition came to us from Europe. Since it is the color of innocence, a woman could only marry in white once. If she remarried, she had to choose a different color. From the point of view of appropriateness, the dress is suitable for all brides, except absolutely white and black ones
A white dress will make fair skin even paler and will distract attention from the beauty of a dark-skinned bride.
Ivory, cream, ivory, champagne. All these shades have something in common - a light golden yellow. You won’t immediately understand that it’s not pure white unless you compare it. This dress will look beautiful on almost any bride. The darker the skin, the better the color will look. If you believe the signs, this color promises frequent betrayals.
Silver, metallic. Superstitious people are of the opinion that silver is the color of fragility. Therefore, such marriages quickly break up. If you don't believe in omens, you can safely shine in silver shades. The darker your skin tone, the richer gray you should choose.
Pink. Pink color will suit both light and dark skin, as long as the skin itself does not have a pinkish tint. Signs regarding the pink dress differ. Some say it means love and tenderness, others say it means material difficulties.
Black. Black is known to be the color of mourning. It is not often seen on brides unless it is a Gothic wedding. It is believed that a black dress is a sign of early widowhood. However, the bravest brides can afford such an extravagant dress. Girls with very light and dark skin should choose a different color. Black is ideal for brides with tanned skin and dark hair.
Blue. Blue promises the bride a life of indifference on the part of her husband. Dark blue colors are undesirable for girls with pale skin. Lavender or soft blue colors are more suitable for them.
Yellow. Bright yellow will look great on tanned skin, and a delicate pale yellow color will suit everyone without exception. A bride in yellow looks especially beautiful at an autumn wedding. According to signs, yellow is the color of separation; it will not allow young people to live together for more than 6 years.
Green. Green color gives young people the joy of family life, regardless of material well-being. This color has many shades. Any bride can choose the right green to suit her skin tone.
Orange. Orange color promises respect from society. If you wear orange to a wedding, people will make an example of your union. An excellent option for tanned and bright brunettes.
