Jewelry
As with many accessories, the generality of "simpler is
better" can be applied to jewelry. Remember that if your
gown and/or headpiece are ornate, jewelry may not be able to
compete for top billing. To this end, generally simple jewelry
arrangements are preferred. As with this rule, though, there
can be some exceptions, simple silk dresses may be complemented
with brooches to add color and texture.
Here are a few very good tips that apply to almost any traditional
wedding attire. A watch can be omitted, why worry about time
on your special day. Keeping time is a responsibility of the
best man and matron of honor. Rings other than your wedding
set are to be avoided by you and your attendants.
Earrings are best if they are simple and do not dangle. The
constant moving of the earrings may detract from your more
elegant attire. A great rule of thumb, is to use the rule
of thumb, choose earrings no larger than the tip of your thumb.
Simple pearls and diamonds are great, as are fashion jewelry
that matches your, or your bridal party's dresses.
Long strands as well as choker necklaces are less likely
to be chosen over medium strands of between 18-20 inches.
This length of necklace creates a great V-line at your chest.
The V shape creates an illusion of broader shoulders, slimmer
waist and a fuller breast. Try as you may, it is very difficult
to do better than a simple strand of pearls of 18-20 inches.
As with many ideas presented in our
hints, the ideas presented for the bride are also great ideas
for your bridesmaids. You want more complements on your dress
than for your jewelry. And you don't want disastrous problems
caused by earrings caught in hair, etc.
