With any ensemble, picking the perfect accessories is almost as important as selecting your clothing, and this becomes even more obvious when adding those final flourishes to your bridal look. There’s however so much more to think about than if your jewellery complements your dress, chosen hairstyle and wider wedding theme.
Whether the bridal party is big or on the smaller side, choosing bridesmaid dresses that complement the bride is generally the go-to. But, does going matchy-matchy extend to your wedding and bridal jewellery too? In this blog post, we answer that very question as well as reveal the coordinating styles that should be on your radar.
Matchy-matchy vs mix-and-match – which wins?
Mix-and-match bridesmaid outfits have been something of a rising trend on the wedding scene in recent years. Rather than throwing items together, there’s a science to making mix-and-match looks work well in more formal settings. We’ll let Risa James Events share one trick of the trade that brides looking to embrace differing styles across their bridal party can really rely on:
“Customarily, you should choose colors and styles that go well together or contrast. The idea is to complement each other without looking too similar. For example, choosing two colors that look good together will work out perfectly for your bridesmaid dresses! A classic color combination is always a safe bet as it guarantees everyone looks fabulous.”
Varying dress cuts, colours or fabrics can make each bridesmaid feel unique and comfortable, but they can also mean a less unified appearance without a few tweaks. With mix-and-match dresses in, and matching bridesmaids dresses a downward trend, finding other ways to keep your bridal party cohesive is a must – and that’s where wedding and bridal jewellery comes in!
Choosing jewellery for a cohesive bridal party look
Coordinating jewellery is a smart and stylish way to create a consistent and well-thought-out bridal party look – even if you want to embrace the mix-and-match trend in all its glory! By introducing consistent jewellery elements, you can tie everyone’s looks together visually, strengthen your wedding theme, and even make those all-important group pics more polished.
Remember, coordination doesn’t mean identical pieces for everyone – think matching metals, similar stones or a shared style. With the right wedding and bridal jewellery pieces, you get to reflect each bridesmaid’s personality while maintaining a collective elegance that looks great in person and in print.
