Your wedding day is your "Special Day" and must receive the attention it deserves from the big decisions down to the smallest details. Selecting your wedding jewelry is important for that perfectly gorgeous look you desire for both yourself as well as for your Maid of Honor, Bridesmaids, Flower Girls and Mothers. I'd like to offer a few tips in making the choice of the perfect wedding jewelry a tiny bit less confusing and stressful.

The first determining factor is what your choices have been for both your own wedding gown as well as for your bridesmaids attire. Your jewelry choices should be based upon what the style of the day will be.

The second factor to consider is your wedding theme and colors. Sometimes just the wedding colors are enough to make your jewelry selections but themed weddings are very popular and if you look you will find wedding day jewelry for all participants that coordinates with the chosen theme.  For instance, if you were planning a very elegant wedding your choices will be much different than if your wedding will have more of a casual theme. Another item to keep in mind is the type of jewelry that you are comfortable wearing....do you prefer more tiny, dainty pieces or do you love a bolder look.  One rule of thumb is that a very elaborate wedding gown will probably look best with a less elaborate style of jewelry so that it does not over-power the gown.  If you have chosen a gown that is a bit more simple you may wish to choose jewelry pieces with more sparkle and pizazz. Whatever you choose, make sure that everything compliments your beautiful wedding gown.

Crystal jewelry is very fitting for a wedding. Beautiful Swarovski or Austrian crystal sets of necklace, bracelet and earrings are always a favorite. These beautiful designs are available in numerous colors and shades and should of course coordinate with your bridal attire. One of the most beautiful looks is a simple strand of graduated Swarovski crystals, always an elegant favorite when paired with Swarovski earrings and perhaps a bracelet. For a more classic, traditional look a bride can never go wrong with pearls. Today there are pearls available in all shades from the whitest white to many shades of ivory and the darker champagne tones along with many other rainbow colors. One other option would be a combination of crystal and pearl which makes a lovely choice as well. 

Many brides choose to purchase jewelry for their bridesmaids as gifts to thank them for being part of their wedding day. The brides jewelry should be chosen first as the jewelry her bridesmaids wear should always compliment the beautiful jewelry she has chosen for herself.  A popular trend today is for the bride and her wedding party to all wear clear Swarovski crystal necklaces intertwined with crystals or pearls in colors chosen from the pallet of wedding colors.

Jewelry for the Mothers of the bride and groom should also coordinate with the look of the day and be chosen according to the gown that each Mother will be wearing. Everything from very traditional pearl jewelry to a more eclectic, artsy look is currently in style. Again making sure that the entire ensemble fits well together and compliments the brides style and the ambiance of the day.

So with these points in mind...Happy Wedding Jewelry Shopping....there many types of stores to shop for and purchase your perfect wedding day jewelry.  You may wish to shop at your bridal salon. your favorite Mall store or from a private boutique where you will find beautiful "one of a kind" pieces created just for you. The choices are many but with a little searching you will find those "just perfect" pieces to beautifully compliment your wedding gown and put the sparkle in your wedding day.
