Your North East Wedding - September/October 2020 (Issue 40)

68 DÉCOLLETAGE DETAILS A little help when it comes to finding the ideal pendant to match your wedding dress Straight neckline A chunky, luxurious necklace is a great choice for a dress with this neckline because it leaves a lot of skin to work with. Aim for it to fall between the neckline and collarbone adding that beautiful touch without taking away from your dress. Tip:  Keep the rest of your jewellery simple! Go for diamond studs and a delicate bracelet to balance the look. Halterneck Skip a necklace for this dress as the neckline’s high and doesn’t leave much room for a pendant because it will end up looking too busy. Tip: Wear a pair of chandelier earrings and a pearl bracelet to transform your look. Scoop neckline Delicate barely-there pendants work well with this beautifully feminine dress. Add that little something while leaving the rest to shine. Tip:  Add a tiara or a short veil to finish your look off. Bateau neckline The bateau neckline aims to show off your collarbones and covers up most of the skin. This leaves a great space available for a necklace with a large pendent. Tip:  Match with drop earrings and a statement ring to complete the look. V-neckline How deep the neckline is dictates the length of the necklace. If you have a smaller V then the best option is to go for a shorter one, but if it plunges deeper, then a longer chain looks best. Tip: A pendant with a single gemstone or diamond will look incredible with this neckline! Sweetheart neckline Go for a diamond necklace for this classic dress, which is great for showing off a little skin without feeling overexposed. It’s a good idea to choose a necklace that’s pretty and subtle looking. This will give something extra and is sophisticated and elegant. Tip: Match the necklace with a beautiful pair of pear-shaped diamond earrings.
