Colored gemstones can give you a classic and luxurious way to add some pop to your bridal look. It’s a beautiful way to add color to your wedding palette and it even creates an instant heirloom that you can pass down for generations.
Placing bright hues against a white dress is a stunning contrast that offers an elegant touch to your style. Plus, gemstones typically cost less per carat than diamonds. So, you can choose a much bigger stone than if you were purchasing a diamond and still have the same heirloom value.
Picking your Palette
So, you decided that you want to show off your personal style and opt out of the traditional diamonds and pearls. But how do you choose what hue to showcase on your big day?
- You can pick jewels that accentuate your floral arrangements.
- Choose gem colors that match your bridesmaids’ dresses.
- You can simply go for a color that you like and want to let pop when saying ‘I Do’.
- Match colors to your wedding theme.
- Blue gems are a solid choice as you can incorporate them as your ‘something blue’.
- A vintage style wedding pairs well with pale pink for a romantic vibe.
- Yellow stones make for a great color palette for fall weddings and even outdoor settings.
Don’t Ditch Diamonds
Don’t forget about the diamonds! Even if you show off a few colored jewels on the day of your nuptials, you don’t have to forgo the classic white sparkling look of diamonds. Choose gem jewelry that features these bright accents – think a beautiful halo around a stunning sapphire or radiant ruby.
