Spring and summer brides are saying, “I do” to pearls for their wedding day. It’s easy to see why they would choose pearls for this special day in their lives.
Pearls are the sea’s natural gemstone and have long stood for sentimentality and romance. There are so many reasons to choose pearls to compliment your wedding dress and wedding celebration.
Every bride looks beautiful and radiant, but the bride who chooses
pearls looks especially aglow. Could it be the pearls’ luster that we
see against her skin? Pearls have a natural luster and light shimmer to
them. This easily compliments a woman’s skin. Pearls were once only worn
by royalty and the elite. Today this elegant jewelry style is available
to discriminating tastes.
When choosing pearls for your wedding day, you’ll want to select pearl jewelry that compliments your wedding gown and wedding accessories. Today there are so many wedding gown and accessory styles. This is fortunate for brides as it means you can wear a wide variety of pearl jewelry styles for your wedding, not simply to be satisfied with a select few.
Wearing your hair up or back is an ideal choice as you can put on pearl earrings with your bridal veil. Try romantic pearl drop earrings or larger pearl “button” earrings. Or pearl earrings that are combined with other gemstones.
Choosing your pearl jewelry may seem difficult to some brides but it is simpler when you consider the time of day and the style of your wedding. Some weddings are very dressy and elegant and others are more relaxed and casual. An evening wedding is also most often considered more formal than a daytime wedding, simply by the time of day. Keeping these in mind can help you to find the best pearl jewelry.
While many women choose a white or ivory wedding dress, a bride is not limited to only white or ivory pearls for her wedding day. Pearls come in a wide variety of colors. Especially popular are the light pastel shades like pale green or light pink or lavender. Deeper colors are available like pewter or deep purple. Any of these choices can compliment a bride depending on what style wedding dress and accessories the bride wears.
Pearl necklaces are a lovely choice for brides. A popular choice for brides is multiple strands of pearls. This offers more shimmer and luster especially around the face, neck and shoulders. When wearing a bridal veil and wedding dress, the shimmer and luster of the pearls “frames” your face. This is a very complimentary look for brides.
Why not remember the old saying “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.” as you select your pearls? Wearing pearl jewelry that was your Grandmother’s can be a wonderful and very sentimental choice for any bride. Then choose a new piece of pearl jewelry that speaks of contemporary pearl jewelry styles. Or try a piece of pearl jewelry with blue accents like aquamarine gemstone or a tiny piece of blue ribbon.
Whatever you choose we know you’ll look beautiful on your wedding day wearing your pearls.
