When deciding on wedding jewelry, you need to carefully examine the type of dress you are wearing.  Some wedding dresses need a piece of jewelry to finish the look, while others do not.

Necklaces

If the dress is heavily decorated with sequins and pearls, there is no need for more embellishment. However, if the dress is very plain and sophisticated, a small string of pearls or an elegant diamond pendant is an attractive choice and will complete the look beautifully.

If the dress is strapless and simple you will have numerous options for jewelry.  When you wear a strapless dress, it normally draws more interest to the shoulders and neck area.  Many brides take this opportunity to wear very large sparkly pieces.

Y- drop necklaces are a perfect blend with a v-neckline wedding gown.  Adds a simple yet stylish look.

Bracelets

If the wedding dress is short-sleeved, sleeveless or strapless, a simple yet elegant bracelet would be a tasteful addition to the ensemble.  Even if you are wearing gloves, you can always add a beautiful tennis or pearl bracelet to finish up the look.

Earrings

If the bride has a long neck, she may want to choose long dangle earrings.  If she has a short neck, diamonds studs may be the perfect choice.  Whichever style earring is worn, the earrings should match the necklace if one is worn.

Hair Jewelry

Hair jewelry may include a tiara, a diamond or cubic zirconia or pearl hair clip. Follow the theme: if the dress is trimmed in crystals, the bride should wear crystals earrings, and crystals in the hair.

Colored Jewelry

A simple wedding dress is like a blank canvas for a bride, anything goes.  You can go for big and colored gemstones or wear simple and elegant pieces.  However, if your dress has many embellishments, then wearing simple clear diamond earrings may suit the total attire better.

The wedding’s color theme can also be considered when choosing wedding day jewelry. The most frequently used jewelry colors are pastel shades or white to complement traditional wedding gowns.  Some brides may want to wear earrings in the stone of the wedding theme color.  Wearing stones such as blue sapphires and pink or yellow diamonds.  The color of your jewelry depends on you and your personal style.  Adding color can be very elegant and dramatically classy.

Wedding guest books are a great keepsake for the bridal couple and a way to remember everyone who came to the wedding.  If you are going to have a guest book at your reception, make sure it is in an area that is visible to your guests.  There are many unique variations to the traditional wedding guest book and pen.

Photo Guest book : Purchase a photo album or a scrapbook that allows room for text to go along with the photo.  A great way to capture some of the fun your guests are having.  Have a friend assigned as the photographer and as the guests sign the guest book, the photographer can take their photo and later slip it into the photo sleeve pocket next to their personal message. If you are having a large wedding. maybe you can rent a photo booth.

Photo Mat “Guest Book” : Have your guests sign a memento that you can display in your home, keeping the memories always visible.  After your guests have signed the photo mat, you can frame a wedding photo of the two of you, or one of both of you with all your wedding guests (taken just after the ceremony).  This can also be done for your bridal shower, and down the road baby shower!  If you like this idea, check out our selection at HerWeddingShop .

Guest book Platter or Signature Vase:  Purchase a platter or vase that can be used for years to come and have your guests sign these items with a permanent marker designed for porcelain finishes.

Time Capsule: Have your guests sign the back of pictures of you and your fiance with best wishes and inspiring words of wisdom.  After the wedding, place them in a time capsule.  On your first anniversary, while enjoying the top layer of your wedding cake, you can open the time capsule and read all the loving messages written by those who attending your wedding.
