Q&A Jewellery Look the best version of you with our expert advice CLAIRE FERRINI AT ASTREA LONDON At Astrea London, we understand that your wedding day is one of the most memorable moments of your life. The jewellery you choose plays a significant role in enhancing your overall look and making you feel radiant. Here are some tips to help you select the perfect pieces to complement your bridal ensemble. Wedding jewellery should reflect your unique personality and story. Whether you prefer classic elegance, vintage, or modern minimisation, choose designs that resonate with your style, complement your wedding theme, and make you feel beautiful. Focus on a few key pieces. A stunning pair of earrings, a delicate bracelet, or a dazzling necklace can enhance your bridal look without overwhelming it. If you choose bold statement pieces, keep the rest of your jewellery minimal to accentuate it. Your hairstyle can also dictate your jewellery choices. If you’re wearing your hair up, consider wearing chandelier earrings or a statement necklace. For loose hairstyles, delicate pieces or hairpins can add a touch of elegance and sparkle. Be mindful of the metallic shades in your dress and accessories. White, yellow, and rose gold each bring their own unique flair. Furthermore, coordinating your jewellery with various coloured diamonds can beautifully complement your bouquet or dress, creating a more unified appearance. Incorporating family heirlooms adds a personal touch to your wedding jewellery. Whether it’s a pair of earrings from your grandmother or a bracelet from your mother, these pieces can carry deep emotional significance. Complementing these with simple pieces can add sparkle without overshadowing the main piece. Accessories matter too! For grooms, matching cufflinks with your partner’s jewellery is a subtle yet meaningful touch. A simple pair of sleek, polished cufflinks can complement the bride’s metallic tones. If your partner has chosen a standout gemstone, add a hint of that colour to your cufflinks for a cohesive and personalised look. Set a realistic budget! With lab-grown diamonds, you can enjoy exceptional brilliance and enduring quality at incredible prices without exceeding your budget limits. Most importantly, remember to think beyond your big day and choose pieces that you can wear and enjoy for years to come. Versatile designs with timeless appeal, like our round and pear drop earrings, can be worn in three different ways, to ensure that your jewellery remains meaningful and practical for future occasions.

Bridal jewellery not only adds sparkle, like the engagement ring, but also complements the dress and gives the overall look a special touch. With so many options available, choosing the perfect pieces can feel overwhelming. To help, we’ve created a simple guide to make your decision easier and ensure you pick bridal jewellery that’s perfect for your big day. Start by focusing on what feels most natural and comfortable. For those who prefer minimalist studs or hoops daily, bold statement earrings might not feel right. Instead, stick to your go-to style but elevate it – perhaps with diamonds or gemstones for extra sparkle. Next, consider how the dress pairs with jewellery. Halter neck or long-sleeved gowns work best with simple diamond earrings and rings, while strapless necklines allow for a statement necklace or drop earrings to complete the look. Choose pieces that enhance your overall look without overpowering it. Lastly, build the jewellery around the engagement ring by matching metals, gemstone colours, and styles to keep your look cohesive and elegant. For a timeless style, we recommend classic diamond studs or hoop earrings, which offer a minimalist yet elegant look that perfectly complements any bridal outfit. For a more striking touch, statement earrings like pearl drops or diamond-and-gemstone combinations are stunning options that add individuality and sophistication to any look. The neckline plays a key role in choosing a necklace. V-neck dresses pair well with pendants, while strapless designs work best with statement necklaces. For a simple yet elegant touch, solitaire diamond pendants or delicate diamond circle pendants add sparkle without being too flashy. Check out: www.budrevich.co.uk 63 ASK THE EXPERTS
