This year, brides are opting for less-than-traditional weddings. Whether the vibe is casual or the colors unconventional, the unusual is now the usual and this has translated to bridal fashion and jewelry. At the same time, brides may not be cutting costs, but they definitely are not wasting money. When choosing jewelry, brides are more commonly choosing items that will fit into their everyday wardrobe. Here’s a list of trending bridal jewelry for this year that can carry over into everyday wear.
1. Breaking the Tradition
From cut to color, engagement rings are less traditional and more personal. Brides are more comfortable choosing their ring or at least pointing their significant other in right direction. Colored stones are popping up, especially yellow and champagne diamonds. More unusual cuts have also become popular such as marquise, pear and emerald cuts.
2. Romantic Touches
This year, there are two new, but completely different color palettes. Brides opting for a softer, more romantic touch to their wedding day look have been choosing accessories in yellow, rose gold and silver. An item from the Cartier Love collection could be the perfect addition aesthetically and symbolically. To make your wedding look sweeter, you could add heart-shaped jewelry like this rose gold and diamond necklace, or this Chopard bracelet.
3. Flower Power
Some brides have chosen to imitate nature with flower-themed accessories following a palette of peachy pinks, greens and blues in a beautiful variety of shades. Flower-inspired jewelry is perfect for an outdoor wedding. Necklaces or earrings featuring citrine are beautiful, golden additions. Other natural designs could range from leaf-inspired earrings to Van Cleef and Arpels butterfly bracelets.
4. Monochromatic Fanatics
The edgier urban bride is featuring a black and white motif on her wedding day. Silver, platinum and steel are choice for jewelry.
Simple bar, stud or drop earrings can be matched with something a bit flashier, like a Givenchy pave flower pin.
5. Stunning Statements
Brides are choosing to forgo flashy earrings for simple studs or bar earrings. However, they are making up for it with stunning statement necklaces. Keep your theme in mind. If you are having a trendy boho wedding, a necklace like this vintage brass necklace. If your wedding is more classic, you can put a twist on pearls with a multi-strand necklace, like these Yves Saint Laurent faux pearls. For a silver statement consider something like this white gold and diamond mesh necklace.
