Finding the perfect dress was just the start... now it's time for the fun bit - accessories shopping ;) Your choice in bridal earrings and other wedding accessories will set the tone of your bridal look. Like the icing on the cake, they pack a punch and can elevate an otherwise unremarkable gown into bridal perfection. If you've chosen a minimalist dress, then statement earrings offer a perfect counterpoint and focus which can be worn just for the ceremony, the reception, or all of your big day.
You can instantly transform a sleek and minimalist wedding dress into serious #weddinggoals with the additional of stunning statement earrings.
Prefer a more classic look? You can’t go wrong with classic pearl drop or simple crystal earrings.
The aim is to choose two or three key pieces that will really compliment your look, and to not over-accessorize. Choose wisely and your accessories (including earrings) will speak for themselves. Sometimes just a headpiece, bracelet or a set of statement earrings might be all you need to take your look to the next level.
At Constance Handcrafted we are always asked for advice on which earrings to pair with which dress. When we offer advice to our brides, we always look at 3 things – your wedding dress, the neckline and your bridal hairstyle. These details will impact the overall silhouette as well as the vibe of your look.
Going Low: Does Your Dress Have a Low Neckline of a Low Back?
A low V neckline or low V back is the ultimate in sensual sophistication. A low front doesn’t necessarily mean you need to wear a necklace to fill the space. Instead, consider a longer pair of drop earrings. If your dress has a low back, then play on the long angular lines with unique accessories such as chain thread earrings, a long pearl drop or a clean wedding veil that highlights the strong V lines.
Off the Shoulder
An off-the-shoulder neckline is sensual, chic and utterly feminine. It draws attention to the neck, face and shoulders in the most beautiful way. It’s a shame to over accessorise this area and often a set of longer earrings or a backwards facing headpiece or crow is all you need. If you just want a touch of sparkle, opt for some simpler studs to keep this area open and clean.
Sweetheart neckline
A sweetheart neckline is one of the most versatile necklines to accessorise. The world is your oyster. A necklace, earrings, headpiece and/or veil will all work together but the key is not to over-accessorise. If you’d love to wear a crown, you don’t necessarily need to pair it with larger-than-life earrings or a necklace. A pair of simple and elegant crystal earrings would work best, drawing attention to your face and dress.
High neck
We love to pair high necklines with anything from stud earrings that draw attention to the face to longer earrings on the delicate side. Avoid heavy chandelier style earrings if your dress features a lot of detail around the face as this can be a bit distracting and compete with the other details. Pearl or crystal studs or dainty longer earrings are the perfect way to add a classic and sophisticated detail to a modern and chic neckline.
