Choose Your Hairstyle and Bridal Jewelry Together

It takes a long time for any bride to get ready for her big day. In fact, the preparations for her appearance alone begin at least a few months in advance of the wedding day! Details such as her wedding dress, hairstyle, and jewelry all directly relate to one another. While it’s a good idea to make sure they coordinate, there really is no pressure to be perfect. Here are some strategies that will help you coordinate it without stressing you out:

Your Bridal Jewelry May Clash With the Hair Accessories

When it comes to planning your bridal hairstyle, you might also decide to add accessories to your hair, such as flowers, a tiara, or even a veil. Each of these accessory choices will alter the jewelry that you wear. However, you don’t need to put too much though into it – you can basically look and do what feels right.  For instance, if you decide to incorporate a tiara that is made from white metal and crystals, you won?t want to wear yellow gold-based jewelry because it will clash with the colors in your tiara. If you already have jewelry in mind that you?ll want to wear, keep this in mind when selecting your hair accessories.

Certain Jewelry Only Looks Good With Certain Hairstyles

Certain jewelry looks best with only certain hairstyles. For instance, if you decide to wear your hair in an upsweep, you want to be careful to wear a pair of earrings that aren?t too large. Medium-sized earrings, or even studs, are the best choice in this situation. If you have jewelry in mind that you absolutely want to wear, you will need to bring it with you to your trial appointment so that your stylist can help you find the best way to bring out the jewelry.

You Want to Make Sure the Proportions Are Correct

To create a winning bridal look, you need to consider the proportions of each of the elements. In the same way that you want to make sure your jewelry creates a nice silhouette with your dress, you also need to do the same thing with your hair and your jewelry. For instance, if you?re wearing an asymmetrical dress, you already know that this will determine which necklace you?ll choose. However, your hairstyle needs to look balanced, as well. Each person is different, and there really is no science behind it. Just do what looks the best without going overboard! Instead of thinking of each element separately, it helps to look at the bigger picture. Everything about your bridal look needs to be perfect. However, in order to create the best look for your wedding day, you will need to get ready months in advance. In fact, you?ll want to bring your wedding jewelry options with you during your hair trial so that you can select the pieces that will help you put together your dream look. You don?t want to find out on your wedding day that your hairstyle, hair accessories, and bridal jewelry don?t look good together because it will be too late at that point to make the necessary changes.
