When it comes to wedding dresses, jewelry might be your best friend or your worst enemy. A simple jewelry mismatch may waste all the painful time and energy spent on picking the perfect wedding dress. But if you've already surpassed the challenge of choosing the right dress for that special day, accessorizing the dress shouldn't prove too difficult. Here are a few ways to complement your wedding dress with jewelry.

1. Mind the Neckline

The saying "less is more holds" much truth when it comes to wedding dresses. The visible patch of skin around your neck and chest area are perfect for one or two neck pieces. A necklace is the best way to add depth and dimension to the dress without interfering with its overall look. For a low scoop neckline, consider a statement necklace or a bib. V necklines work perfectly with gemstone or pearl pendants.

2. Bracelets

Bracelets go great with halter dresses, sleeveless dresses, or dresses with a high neckline. High necklines are especially suited with bracelets or cuffs as they help balance out the material. If your dress is sleeveless, then silver bangles can really help you make a statement. A sleek bangle gives a more subtle feel to your dress, while a chunky bracelet is out to capture attention.

It is advisable to wear your bracelets or bangles on your right hand to avoid drawing attention from your wedding ring on your special day.

3. Earrings and Studs

Some modern wedding dresses may have intricate embroidery designs or illusion necklines. Pairing these with necklaces or pendants may give your dress a rather busy look. Instead, opt for earrings and bracelets to complement your style. After all, you don't want your jewelry competing with your dress. A bateau, sweetheart or Queen Anne neckline will pair well with a pair of dainty stud earrings. Diamond or pearl studs are timeless and can be worn in future occasions. Gemstone studs are excellent for adding a bit of color to your outfit.

If you settle on illusion or off-the-shoulder necklines, then statement earrings are just what you need to complete that polished and sophisticated look.

4. Pearls

Pearls jewelry, be it necklaces, earrings, are elegant pieces that transcend time. Pearls give your wedding dress a warm vibe while maintaining a simple and pure look. They also add a bit of light to your look and go well with any skin tone. Baroque pearls are excellent if you want to add a colorful flair to your overall look.
