There are many things a bride needs to decide when it comes to her wedding day, and, of course, one of the most important things is the gown. However, there are several accessories that a bride will need to choose that will depend on the gown that she selects, for instance, her lingerie, and, of course, her jewelry.

It is common knowledge that if a wedding gown already has an intricate, detailed, or illusion neckline, it is best to forgo the necklace altogether. But even though a necklace may not be worn, any bride who has her ears pierced, or even brides that don’t have their ears pierced, will choose a pair of beautiful earrings to complete her final look.

Earrings are a good way of rounding off an outfit and can complement a gown if chosen correctly. They also draw attention to the neck and face, which is why so many brides spend so much time choosing the perfect pair.

Dramatic or very large and sparkly earrings can add flair to an otherwise minimalistic or simple look, and a very intricate or detailed gown will be best paired with small pearl or stud earrings. Earrings are also a wonderful way of ...
... incorporating “something old” or “something borrowed” into your look. Many brides like to wear heirloom earrings which is a nod to their family and these heirlooms can come in many styles so it can be quite easy to select a pair that perfectly complements your dress. A bride may also choose to borrow earrings from a friend or family member for her special day, which is a sweet way of including your nearest and dearest into the proceedings and also to complete your look.

Brides that are wearing simple or minimalistic gowns will do well to select a pair of vintage earrings. Antique gold or silver plating, baguette crystals in the form of drop earrings, pearls, or pave-set crystals are some of the top choices when it comes to vintage earrings. Tight-fitting wedding gowns or fishtail gowns pair well with teardrop earrings or other drop earrings set with beautiful, sparkly stones. This creates a timeless look that will translate well over the years as you look back on your wedding photos. Plain or simple gowns will look best with dramatic, large, detailed, or wide earrings, and chandelier earrings look good with intricate dresses with low necklines or sleeveless gowns.

The most versatile earrings you could choose are drop earrings. Drop earrings are sophisticated, elegant, and timeless. They can be either of medium or long length, which makes them ideally suited to a wide range of dress styles. Drop earrings suit almost any type of gown, which makes them the most versatile choice. They are great for brides that don’t want to overdo the jewelry on their special day, but still want to add a little sparkle or flair to their final outfit. Drop earrings in a mix of crystals and pearls are usually the best choice as they will go with almost any style and hue of dress and they will suit most brides’ complexions and personal tastes.

Brides that want to keep the focus on their wedding ring and wedding band, hairpiece or dress, may want to consider simple stud earrings. These are understated and elegant and will round off an ensemble without looking too busy. Earrings are a good way to round off a wedding day look and they can be as simple or as dramatic as you want. A bride will have her taste and style and should select earrings that are comfortable for her to wear, that complements her gown, and that suit the overall look she is going for.
