If your own summer nuptials are quickly approaching, then you are busy wrapping up all those final details and choosing the perfect accessories for your warm weather wedding. To give your day the exact vibe you are looking for, choosing the right jewelry is the perfect way to add a special touch of your own personal style.
Are you looking to add some extra romance to your big day? Vintage-inspired jewelry draws inspiration from old world elements and antique details creating a charming yet glamorous look. If you want to be the picture-perfect modern bride without sacrificing your classic taste, the solution to this is choosing vintage-inspired pieces for your overall look.
How to Select and Style
Follow these styling tips for how to master the art of adding “something old” into your own wedding plans.
- Think about your wedding vibe and the time-period of jewelry that will best enhance it. For example, will a delicate Victorian piece or Art-Deco statement jewelry be the best compliment to your style?
- Your dress is the best starting point for picking the perfect jewelry. If you have a lot of details around the neckline, you’ll need to choose less jewelry or pieces that do not overwhelm your look. If your dress is simpler that gives you more room to add statement vintage accessories.
- Personalize your wedding attire with sentimental pieces. This can add a layer of significance to your day.
- Consider the veil. You will want to choose your jewelry based on if you need to be able to see the pieces through the veil.
- Find balance. Don’t overwhelm your overall look by adding too many vintage jewels. Opt for pieces that highlight your best features or accentuate your gown and its style.
- Match your metals. Choose pieces with metal tones that coordinate with your skin and dress. If your dress has silver or cool-toned accents, choose white gold, silver or platinum jewelry. For gowns with gold or warm-toned detailing, choose yellow gold or rose gold for a cohesive look.
The vintage look nearly never fails, and it allows brides to have that special age-old feel while still appearing radiant and stunning. Adding these timeless pieces to your wedding day attire will give you a romantic and elegant style for all your guests to admire as you walk down the aisle.
