When it comes to weddings, the bride isn't the only one who has to look her best. You deserve a little bling of your own.
We're
not suggesting you upstage the lucky one on her wedding day, but we
wouldn't blame you if you went jewelry shopping for the occasion. You're
likely already getting a new outfit, so it makes complete sense to
finish the look with a sparkly investment piece you can wear forever.
If you're not sure where to start, why not let the destination inspire your purchase.
If
your bestie's wedding is in Vegas, it's totally appropriate to wear
something flashy. Now is not the time to be understated. That doesn't
mean you should wear tacky oversized baubles but, rather, go for a
diamond-encrusted handcuff bracelet that's equal parts dainty and
naughty. If color is more your thing, mimic the bright lights of the
strip with a necklace or ring made with a rainbow assortment of
semi-precious stones.
If
you're headed anywhere in Europe (like the Italian countryside, for
example), your look for the occasion should be more refined. Keep your
accessory game classy-casual with all gold jewelry accented with
diamonds, of course. Anything delicate in design, from a lariat necklace
to a triple-diamond ring, is exactly the romantic statement piece you
can wear again and again.
If
your bride is an uptown bride, you're going to want to match her
aesthetic. That means no brushed metals or semi-precious stones. In
other words, nothing casual. Your investment piece should be ritzy and
classic. Try a diamond tennis bracelet or a sapphire encrusted ring.
Basically, if it feels old fashioned, you're on the right track.
A
Southern-themed wedding is going to be very girly occasion. To match
the mood, splurge on lovey-dovey inspired pieces that are youthful, but
still sophisticated. Rose gold and pink sapphire earrings are a lovely
way to wear a pop of feminine color. Or if you want to be more literal, a
cursive love bracelet or a petite heart-shaped diamond ring are also
very appropriate.
A
low-key location calls for low-key jewelry. But just because you're
hitting the sand doesn't mean you have to opt out of diamonds. A beach
wedding is the perfect excuse to be a little more playful with your
selection. A colorful pave diamond eye ring or a blue-green geometric
bracelet have that casual vibe without sacrificing quality.
Isn't jewelry shopping fun?
