If your dream wedding setting is in a winter wonderland, you have so many exciting options for décor, accessories and more importantly jewelry! You can match the glistening outdoors with sparkling diamonds or add in rich colors that enhance the snowscape setting by wearing rich rubies, shining sapphires or elegant emeralds.
Winter brides have an accessory advantage of being able to add even flashier items such as headpieces, brooches (maybe even attached to a beautiful and practical fur wrap), or oversized earrings and necklaces.
Snowy Suggestions
A winter wedding can bring some unique challenges to planning your jewelry. Follow our tips to help you choose the most perfect pieces that will give you a jaw-dropping frozen fairy look.
- If your cold-weather setting means you will be wearing long sleeves, consider skipping the bracelets and opt for other accessories like large earrings or a necklace.
- Add oversized earrings to your shopping budget. Your hair may be down or partly down with a winter wedding so choose a dramatic, large earring that can stand out with your hairstyle.
- Consider using color to add the perfect pop if your photos will be outside with a snowy backdrop. Blue hues are great for keeping with the cool, icy tones of the season.
- Pearls can be perfect to pair with your sparkly diamond jewelry. They evoke thoughts of shimmery snowballs.
- Match your metals to your backdrop. Silver, white gold and platinum look great with a cool color scheme.
- In addition to blue, imagine how striking ruby or emerald accents would be against a sea of snowy white.
- If you really love all things snowy, you can bring the outdoor elements to the inside and choose pieces that incorporate snowflakes or even leaf shapes.
- Winter is a good time to embrace softer and more vintage shades of cream. If opting for an off-white gown, you can seek out vintage-looking jewelry to match the sweet charm of this style.
You can use beautiful jewels to transform into your very own winter princess for your special day. The options during this most magical time of year lend themselves toward bigger and richer jewelry. You can add sparkly bling, colored gems, pearls and more to showcase the shimmer of the season. No matter what you choose to show your love of all things snow, be sure the pricey pieces of your big day are fully insured so you have no worries in the world when you get to say ‘I Do’.
