DOs and DON’Ts: 5 Tips for Picking Your Wedding Jewelry

I rarely wear jewelry—besides my wedding and engagement rings—but when I do, my instinct is to get all Mary-Kate Olsen and pile on everything in my jewelry box. Which means I’m probably the wrong person to ask about choosing your bridal wedding jewelry. So I got in touch with someone who’s much more qualified!
Urvi, an expert jewel stylist and the owner of Tejani, put together some DOs and DON’Ts to help you pull together your wedding day look. And I went ahead and picked some pieces from her collection that I think you’ll adore. Just promise me you won’t try to wear everything at once.

DON’T wait ’til the last minute!
You never want your accessories to be an afterthought. Order everything at least a month in advance. You’ll want to have enough time to try it on with your wedding dress and make sure you’ve achieved the final look you want.

DO go big!
Especially if you’re wearing your hair down! Dainty earrings will get lost in your hair. Punch up your look with some dramatic statement earrings!

DON’T over-accessorize!
The only thing worse than under-accessorizing is over-accessorizing. If your wedding dress has a lot of lace or heavy embroidery, choose light pieces to compliment it. If you have your heart set on a chunky necklace, skip the armful of bangles and shoulder-grazing earrings. Ask a stylish friend to help you edit your look!

DO accessorize your bridesmaids!
You spent countless hours finding the perfect bridesmaid dresses, so take a few minutes to complete the look with fabulous accessories. Keep the style consistent, but let your bridesmaids express their individuality. (Trust me, they’ll thank you!) The styles below match, but they’re not matchy-matchy. p.s. You can choose any color stones to match your palette!

DON’T be afraid to change your look!
You can have a classic look when you walk down the aisle, then change up your jewelry when you’re going to let loose at the reception. Add a few bangles or switch out your elegant pearl studs for statement-making chandelier earrings.
