always be a selection that the bride to be feels elegant and beautiful in.Whether a bride envisions herself in a simple

dress is what makes that bride an individual and beautiful bride on her wedding
day.The selection of the wedding gown
should always remain fun and as stress free as possible, buy what makes you
feel beautiful.

Some
suggestions to follow as to the style of dress you are wearing to match the
style of the bridal jewelry you will wear follows.
Open Backed Dress -When
wearing an open back dress, adding a bridal jewelry lariat is a great way to
add the final detail to show off your beautiful wedding gown.A bridal lariat is a piece of bridal jewelry
that the bride wears around her neck like a normal necklace; however; the back
of the neck will have a longer dangling piece of jewelry to finish off the
look.Depending upon the piece of bridal
jewelry, lariats can be purchased that are adjustable, which will be a better
fit for any bride with a backless dress.Another great way to show off a backless dress is a bridal jewelry
choker or bridal jewelry collar with a hanging jewel embellishment in the
back.Bridal chokers have become a very
modern and popular choice for brides that want an edgier bridal look and feel
that still embraces the classic and elegant bride.
V Neck Dress -When a bride is
wearing a v neck style wedding gown, Y- drop necklaces are a very nice touch
for bridal necklace jewelry.The Y- drop
necklace takes the same angles as the v neck wedding gown line.Bridal chokers are also a great selection for
the bride that is wearing a v line dress.The choker gives clean lines and does not distract from the v neck style
of dress.Regular simple and double
strand necklaces also work very nicely for this style of wedding gown, as they
provide a simple but elegant style that compliments the v neck.
Square Top Dress – For the brides that select a very traditional square top
wedding gown, simple single strand and double strand bridal jewelry necklaces
are a great way to finish off the neckline.They bringcontrast and attract the eye towards the cut of the
dress.For a very clean lined look,
bridal jewelry chokers are the most perfect style of bridal jewelry necklines
for the square top dress.The bridal
choker has become more and more popular as the years pass, now with so many
options available; brides are finding it easier to select the perfect bridal
jewelry choker that fits the style of their gowns.
The Sweetheart Gown -The
sweetheart gown style of wedding gown is accessorized nicely with a y – drop
necklace, as it follows the line of the top of the wedding gown.Also with this style of gown, bridal chokers
go nicely, as well as pendant necklace and simple round necklaces.The sweetheart gown is such a nice choice;
the bridal jewelry that you select to wear with the gown should always
compliment that neckline.
Strapless Dress – When a bride wears a strapless gown, there are many
options for the bridal jewelry necklace.A bridal jewelry choker is such a great way to compliment the line of
the top of the dress.A choker brings a
symmetrical and parallel line, and adding a sparkly pearl or Swarovski crystal
bridal jewelry choker or collar with a strapless gown is so elegant and
sophisticated.In addition to the bridal
choker, simple pendant necklaces as well as single strand and multi-strand
necklaces make great choices for the strapless style wedding gown.Wearing a strapless gown draws much attention
to the shoulders and neck region, so wearing the perfect bridal jewelry that
looks spectacular with that line of dress is very important for your bridal
look.
Halter Top Dress -The halter top
dress calls for a certain type of bridal jewelry.A dangle backed necklace or lariat are
perfect for this line of wedding gown.The attention is drawn on the front and the back, making use of the
entire wedding gown to compliment your bridal jewelry.A halter dress also looks beautifully pulled
together with a y drop necklace or pendant necklace.The y drop necklace was just about made for
this style of wedding gown; the y drop centers the entire look and feel of this
type of gown.
Off The Shoulder Dress -When
wearing an off of the shoulder dress, any style of bridal jewelry necklace
works.A regular single or double strand
necklace can frame out your entire bridal look with simplicity.If you choose to wear a bridal jewelry
choker, that brings the eyes up to the face with ease as it finished off your
bridal look.Y drop and lariats work
great with the off the shoulder dress.Depending upon how much of your back shows, a lariat can look elegant
from behind when standing at the altar, and a y drop necklace really brings
focus to the bride with this gown.Whatever style you choose for this line of dress, you cannot go wrong.
One Shoulder Dress or Asymmetric Dress -With the asymmetric gown, it is best to choose a great bracelet and pair
of earrings, as a necklace will look unbalanced and unnatural.The one shoulder dress is a bold move; wear a
bold bracelet and glamorous earrings.
Scoop Necked Gown – When wearing the scooped neck gown a simple one
or multi-strand necklace is perfect.A
necklace such as the simple one to five strand bridal necklaces will frame out
the top of your wedding gown perfectly.A bridal jewelry choker is also a really nice selection for this style
of dress.It is a simple and even topper
to the scoop neckline, a great selection.

your dress selection, choose bridal jewelry that makes you feel gorgeous when
you put it on.Your bridal jewelry is
your icing on the cake and the selection of the bridal jewelry is just as
important as the selection of the gown.Your bridal jewelry will be bridal accessories that you cherish for a
life time.You will never wear your
wedding gown after the big day, but you can wear your bridal jewelry whenever
you want to.Wearing your bridal jewelry
