Jewellery

So you have the man of your dreams, the most beautiful gown in town, and you’ve picked the date, but you can’t decide on what accessories you want? Your guide to wedding stress relief has done the research for you to help you pick out the accessories that will make you sparkle.
It seems everyone has his or her own idea of what you should do and it’s driving you crazy! Even your mom and best friend can’t help you find what you want. You want to make a decision for yourself, even if the input you’re getting is good and well intentioned. So trust yourself and shine.

Here are some tips to help you stay sane and accessorize with flair.

Think of your wedding dress as a stage, and all of the accessories you select are the actors and scenery that create a smash hit. You chose your gown because it called out your name and represents who you are. Regardless of whether its style is vintage, traditional, modern or eclectic, it serves as the backdrop for the jewellery and accessories you buy.
Follow the motif of your gown. For example, if your dress is adorned with radiant crystals, select jewellery with matching accents. The same goes for dresses with beading or pearls.

Color is also very important

Embroidery that is gold or taupe is very common today’s hot gowns, so try to choose necklaces or earrings that have a gold glitter to them

Jewellery adds pizzazz and shine -- the much-needed "wow" factor. What you want to do is to use accessories to draw attention to your best features: eyes, cheekbones, décolletage, neck, or hair. You know which features your fiancé admires most.
Accent your gown by playing up these areas with the right jewels. Talk to your hairstylist before deciding on earrings. You need to know how you'll wear your hair first. Bring your dress to the salon several months before the wedding so you and your stylistcan come up with a plan.

Once your hair plan is in place, it's time to shop. If you're wearing a traditional updo, drop earrings add drama. For short hair, chic pearl or cubic zirconia studs or buttons are extremely popular. If your long, loose-flowing tresses will be accompanied by drop-dead-gorgeous chandelier earrings, don't overdo it with a necklace. Less is definitely more! If your dress is backless, a lariat necklace that cascades down your spine is a breathtaking accessory, and earrings should be subtle.

Make sure your headpiece matches your jewellery. A tiara composed of solid rhinestones will overshadow delicate pearl jewels. Similarly, if you choose a modern piece of jewellery dripping with cubic zirconium, a pearl headband will be too coy and traditional.
Most importantly, remember that you wear your jewellery and headpiece -- they don't wear you. Choose pieces that are perfectly suited to your gown and personality. If you've never been a fan of pearls, your wedding day isn't the time to flaunt them. Make sure everything works together, you want your jewellery to match your personal style
