Brides find themselves in foreign style territory when it comes to finding the just right jewelry to complement, to neither overwhelm nor underwhelm your Big Day look. Your engagement ring is a no brainer and earrings are a must. But do you go for modest studs or sweeping chandeliers? Are diamonds too much? Or what about some colorful stones? It’s surprisingly daunting!
But rest assured, we have you covered. We look into three of the biggest spring 2017 wedding dress trends to come down the runway and pair them with the perfect set of earrings for that glittering “finishing touch.”
Phew! One less bit of wedding drama!
Plunging Necklines + Statement Earrings
Down-to-there necklines made a big splash on the Lela Rose, Naeem Khan and Lazaro New York Bridal Week runways. Heighten the drama of these daring necklines and don a pair of truly statement earrings. Skip the dainty drop earrings and reach for oversized chandelier earrings. This awe-inspiring addition will elevate your dress to a whole new level of haute couture style.
3D Floral Appliqués + Barely There Diamonds
This year, designers like Monique Lhuillier, Marchesa, and Carolina Herrera upped the ante on floral details, dotting their gowns with elaborate 3D floral appliqués along the shoulders, bodice and skirt. These delicate laser-cut embellishments are a standalone statement so jewelry can be significantly pared down. We love a pair of diamond drop earrings or, to give your day-of look some edge, thin ear-climber earrings.
Colorful Frocks + Non-Traditional Jewels
Venturing outside the beige, blush and soft pink palettes, designers showcased a gorgeous color spectrum at Bridal Week. Naeem Khan debuted a printed lilac stunner. While Jenny Packham presented a subtle jade number and Hayley Paige offered a handful of styles in elegant pewter blue. For a dress in a non-traditional hue, don some non-traditional wedding jewelry. We love vibrant and unconventional stone earrings for an extra dash of the unexpected.
