Add a touch of sparkle with these fab finishing touches Jewel purpose www.unsplash.com EAR CANDY Janna Jolliffe owns Tigerlily Jewellery specialising in silver pieces, birthstones, bridal jewellery and everyday styles. Here, she tells us how newly engaged brides-to-be should choose their bridal jewellery. Janna says: There’s plenty to think about when choosing the right bridal jewellery for you. Here are a few tips to consider: The dress Bridal jewellery should enhance and complement your bridal dress but never upstage it. The design, colour and intricacy of your outfit are all important considerations, for example, the neckline is an important detail. For a square neckline, a shorter necklace would probably work better and the opposite is true for a plunging or sweetheart neckline. For a high neck or halterneck, think about choosing a pair of statement earrings instead of a necklace. A plainer neckline will work as a canvas for more detailed or ornate jewellery - it’s important to create one stunning cohesive look. Hairstyle If you plan to wear your hair up or half up, an eye-catching pair of statement earrings will add those all-important finishing touches. Wedding theme Does your wedding have a strong theme? Is it classic, vintage, bohemianinspired, old-school glamour, or are you hosting a summer garden party? This could help steer your jewellery choices. For example, if your wedding is full of classic and understated elegant touches then pearls, diamonds, or cubic zirconias could be the perfect addition. Time of day This can help to decide if your bridal jewellery needs to radiate daytime chic or evening glamour. If you’re planning an outfit change, why not dress up your jewellery to suit your evening attire? Work within your comfort zone and be yourself Importantly, think about what you feel most comfortable wearing. If you love statement earrings then go for it and wear them on your wedding day! But if you generally prefer studs, take the time to find that perfect pair. You’ll want to be able to wear your bridal jewellery long after the big day so think about choosing pieces that work with other favourite outfits so you can enjoy them time and time again.
