Obviously the most important thing is that the jewelry you choose matches your personal style. If you’re finding it difficult to know what to pick, and are looking for personal advice based on your wedding dress and bridal hairstyle, we are happy to help you via Whatsapp. In this blog you will find some handy styling tips for picking the right bridal jewelry per neckline.

High Neck – Strapless – Sweetheart – V-Neck – Square Neckline – Round Neckline – One shoulder – Halter – Open Back Dress

High neck bridal gowns

With a high neckline it’s quite easy to overdo it when it comes to accessories, especially when you wear a wedding dress with lace or rhinestones. Therefore, we advise you to skip the necklace, and combine the high neck beautifully with earrings and a bracelet. The choice for the type of earrings is entirely up to you. If you wear a dress with a more modest character, you could opt for statement earrings, such as the Jane earrings.

Strapless wedding dresses

With a strapless or off-shoulder dress, the neck and shoulders are completely bare, so you can very accurately choose the focus of your bridal look. With a statement necklace you draw attention to the chest. If you want to focus on your collarbones and create space, choose a more refined necklace or choker, which you can combine well with small buttons or a bracelet. Which is also wonderful not to wear a necklace at all and to attract attention with long earrings, such as the Moon Threader.

Sweetheart neckline

A Sweetheart neckline is a timeless romantic neckline that emphasizes your bust. The material of the body influences the perfect combination with jewelry. If the body is made of lace or decorated with pearls or rhinestones, refined jewelry will go better with the dress. If it is a smooth fabric, you should opt for jewelry with pearls and/or crystals. To accentuate the sweetheart even more, you can wear a short necklace with a pendant. We recommend that you combine a bracelet for the bridal look, so that it doesn’t get too busy – for example with the Soraya necklace and bracelet.

Wedding dresses with any kind of V-neck

A classic neckline is the v-neck, within this neckline you have two types: a deep v-neck and a less deep v-neck. They both accentuate the cleavage and as crazy as this sounds, make you look taller. Also with this neckline, the structure of the dress – lace, decorated with stones or smooth – plays a role in the choice of jewelry. With a smooth structure of the wedding dress, we recommend a necklace with a pendant. The deeper the neckline, the longer the necklace may be, an example is the Julie necklace of 50 cm with a pearl pendant. An experimental look is to wear a back chain like the Jessie necklace at the front, or to wear several chains together. With a busy body we recommend to combine earrings with a bracelet, this takes a little bit of attention away from the v-neck.

Square neckline wedding dresses

Very simple but also simply beautiful: the square necklines, one that we have seen more and more in recent years. The square neckline emphasizes your collarbones and décolleté. Many jewelry combinations are possible with this neckline, it is important that the necklace does not come too close to the dress. By choosing a choker or short necklace you create space and put a little more emphasis on your collarbones, which can be beautifully combined with subtle earrings or a bracelet. For example, with the Julia necklace and bracelet, the effect of the square neckline comes into its own.

Bridal dresses with a round neck

The round neckline includes different types such as the boat neckline, the scoop/U-neck and of course the round neckline itself. The round neckline is a classic look. For people with wider shoulders, it is nice to take a slightly narrower neck, which gives you a balanced effect. We recommend choosing a necklace such as the Heiress necklace, a beautiful chain with three freshwater pearls. For example you can combine the Novel pearl earrings with this necklace.

Then the scoop neckline, this is a deep cut of the round neck, often with the same depth as a square neck, but without corners. To make this neck stand out even more, we recommend a necklace that also falls round, such as the Magic necklace. Paired with the Magic bracelet you can’t go wrong.

The boat neckline is a wide round neckline and usually falls slightly below the collarbones. Because the ends of the elegant neckline are close to the shoulders, this neckline gives an illusion of a better posture. The boat neck is perfect for those with narrow shoulders. Because the boat neckline is higher, we recommend choosing hanging earrings with a bracelet or a choker/short necklace with a crystal. The Dainty set is a beautiful example of a short necklace and bracelet with a crystal.

One shoulder wedding dresses

With a one shoulder dress you create a diagonal neckline with only one shoulder, or the asymmetrical neckline. This neckline is playful and suitable for everyone. We recommend not opting for a necklace, but rather for statement earrings and a bracelet – such as the Grace earrings and the Regal bracelet.

Halter wedding dress

A halterneck comes in a number of variations, but in theory it always has two diagonal lines from the armpits to the neck. Mainly, volume is created and the breasts and upper body appear larger. The bare shoulders become a focal point along with the arms. Since the neck area is almost always closed by the dress, we recommend not to choose a necklace but to go for statement earrings as long as the dress is not made of lace or decorated with pearls and crystals. With a decorated dress you can opt for subtle earrings. In addition to earrings, the halterneck line is a perfect dress for a bracelet, such as the Baguette bracelet with matching earrings.

Bridal dresses with an open back

When the wedding dress has an open back, you can choose to exchange a normal necklace for a back necklace. Our Forever necklace, for example, has a long pendant with pearls and emphasizes the open back so that you attract all the attention when you walk down the aisle. The back chains are beautiful in combination with threaders or pearl earrings, and for those who don’t want earrings, these can also be combined with a bracelet. An example of this is the Moon back necklace with the Jess bracelet.

Personal advice

Of course, this is general advice, and it’s about feeling beautiful and good in the dress and jewelry you choose. Are you still looking for personal advice based on your wedding dress and bridal hairstyle, we will gladly help you via Whatsapp.
