Discover how to style bridal jewellery for your wedding day, including styling wedding necklaces, earrings by neckline, metal matching, and other elegant bridal jewellery inspiration.
How to Choose Bridal Jewellery for Your Dress
Begin with the neckline of your dress or wedding outfit.
Lower necklines often suit a longer pendant or statement earrings, while strapless or structured bodices can pair well with earrings or a collar length necklace. Then consider the overall feel. Sculptural dresses tend to suit cleaner pieces, while softer silhouettes can carry something more layered.
Choosing Between Gold, Silver & Pearl Jewellery
Choosing whether to wear gold or silver jewellery for your wedding day is a choice a lot of brides consider. When it comes to deciding, sometimes it’s best to start with your wedding and engagement ring - if they are yellow gold, then choose a gold necklace and earrings to compliment them.
While many brides choose to wear either gold or silver, some may choose to mix metals to add a contemporary look to their wedding day outfit.
Statement vs Minimal Bridal Jewellery
If your dress is more intricate, we would suggest subtle details such as our diamond sleeper hoops, to compliment and not contrast your wedding dress.
When wearing a simple and minimal dress, you have options. You could keep the whole look clean, with minimal earrings and dainty necklaces or perhaps you could have some fun with some statement drop earrings or a statement necklace. There is no right or wrong way for any bridal look, so choose what makes you feel good on your special day.
Bridal Earrings Styling Guide
A common question we get when it comes to wedding jewellery is “what are the best earrings for wedding dresses?”. While this can very much depend on personal style and the neckline of each dress, we have a small guide to what earrings are best for brides.
Styles of earrings we love most for brides are drop earrings, from pearl drop earrings to our subtle mani drops, our drop earrings add a layer of movement to any bridal look.
While drop earrings are a common choice for brides, it can often depend on your bridal hair and wedding dress. If your hair is down, often a more minimal wedding earring is preferred whereas a strapless dress with hair up allows for statement earrings to be a centre piece to your bridal look.

One piece of advice we always give is to choose two to three pieces, typically this is two understated pieces, one elevated piece, and then potentially the addition of one personal detail. This helps everything feel balanced rather than competing. For example, refined studs and a delicate bracelet paired with a more considered necklace.
