The big day is coming and you have chosen your dress, and shoes, know what type of hairstyle you'll have, and now it's time to choose the accessories. Choosing jewellery for your wedding day can easily become an overwhelming challenge especially if you're 'torn' between several choices. If you're looking for wedding earrings for bride, make it easier by checking your dress neckline and trying to imagine how it'd look with the type of hairstyle you want to have for your big day.
Types of Bridal Earrings
Seeking the right pair for your big day can be a bit overwhelming because you'll come across so many designs, types, materials and sizes. The most popular ones of course are the pearl studs, but also the sparkly chandelier, drop and dangle design. But, as trends follow, don't be surprised to see hoops, large flowers and whatnot. What you'll choose depends on many things such as your taste, hairstyle, and the type of neckline your dress will have. There is no right or wrong choice of bridal earrings. Don't forget to consider your face shape, but also the type of makeup you'll wear.
Are Hoops a Good Choice?
Even though hoops aren't the first choice for such an event, many modern brides love to wear them and they look great. Hoop bridal earrings go perfect with more casual wedding dresses. Go for a pair of pearl hoops or other statement circular earrings. But you can choose a simple pair of golden earrings for your boho wedding dress and luscious curls. Smaller hoops can work magic for almost any type of dress; choose a pair with small pearls or diamonds, or simple small golden or silver hoops.
Let the Neckline Determine Your Choice
Low V Neckline or Low Back
A pair of wedding earrings for bride should be done with several things in mind: hair, makeup, personal taste and the dress. The dress's neckline will determine easily what you need. For instance, a low V neckline or low V back is sophisticated and sensual and the low front isn't always a rule that you need to wear a necklace. Instead, you can easily choose a pair of statement earrings with a long drop or backwards facing headpiece to emphasize the lines of the low V. Choose long angular lines with unique accessories like chain thread earrings, long pearl drops and a simple wedding veil.
Illusion Neckline
This type of neckline is sleek, feminine and sophisticated. You can choose a pair of longer earrings that will elongate your neck and frame any details that might be applied to the neckline and your sleeves. When it comes to a veil, my suggestion is sheer netting.
Off-the-shoulder
This type of neckline is chic, feminine and sensual. It will draw attention to the neck, shoulders and face in a lovely way. It's a statement by itself, so my suggestion is not to over-accessorize. A set of longer earrings or a backwards facing headpiece is more than enough. If you are a fan of simpler and more dainty earrings, go for studs to keep this area open and clean.
High Necklines
A high neckline is elegant and royal, and surely will make a statement on its own. A pair of stud earrings are your perfect choice; they'll draw attention to your face and makeup. Heavy chandelier earrings aren't the type of accessory to look for if your dress has a high neckline. Stick to crystal or pearl studs or simple dainty chain earrings (not too long); they'll add class and sophistication to your entire look.
Long Sleeves
If your dress has long sleeves, you're probably into a regal and sophisticated look that oozes classic beauty. Feel free to choose long earrings, especially if your dress has an open back. If the back is enclosed, choose timeless pearl or diamond studs to minimise the details around your face and neckline.
Sweetheart Neckline
This type of neckline is one of the most versatile ones so you can easily choose any accessory you want. You can get a pair of earrings, a necklace, a headpiece, a veil, you name it. Just make sure not to over-accessorise. wIf you want to wear a headpiece, then earrings and a necklace might not be needed, because you might make the whole outfit look over-accessorized. But, if you aren't wearing anything on your head, then a pair of statement, long earrings could be a perfect choice. If you're a fan of necklaces, then choose a set of matching necklaces and earrings, but make sure that they don't steal each other's spotlight.
Don't Forget Your Bridal Hairstyle
Your bridal hairstyle is as important as your dress. It should be based on the neckline and style of your wedding gown, as well as your style and what you believe will be most comfortable for the big day. Even though many bridal hairstyles include up-dos, it's not a rule you have to have your hair up in a bun. You can easily let your hair down (straightened, curled). If your hair is up, then you can choose large and statement earrings (of course they should match your neckline). But if your hair is down, go for something simpler, a pair of earrings that won't get lost between your hair strands.
