Wedding Jewellery is a very widely discussed topic with opinions for both sides of the coin. Half of the brides will argue that you need lots of wedding Jewellery to pimp out your amazing wedding dress, while the other half will argue that the wedding dress is stunning enough without having to take focus away from it!
Hedi Montag from the American reality TV show ‘The Hills’ is a prime suspect for the ‘Wearing too much Jewellery’ crime. The TV star married Spencer Prat in early 2009 in a fairy tale wedding which appeared in magazines all over the world as well as on TV. Hedi was wearing a Monique Lhuillier dress which was a stunning spectacle in itself. The bride then accessorized this amazing dress with over $1 million worth of Jewels. Even for a celebrity is this too much?
Now I know that not every bride will be able to wear millions of dollars worth of Jewels but my point of having too much bling still stands! My tip to brides is not to wear wedding jewellery for the sake of wearing jewellery; the attention should be on you and your dress not on anything else. However saying this I do believe that there is a beautiful middle ground.
Not all brides will want a swan like princess dress such as Heidi’s or Katie Price’s. Some brides like the simplicity of an elegant white dress which doesn’t scream attention but rather whispers sophistication. In these circumstances the delicate addition of the odd bit of Jewellery can make the difference between boring and beautiful!

With these two extremes of not enough Jewellery and too much Jewellery what is right for you? Well, like any decision involved with your wedding day you need to find something that matches your personality. Let’s face it people like Hedi Montag and Katy price are extroverts, they live in a fairy tale world and only the biggest and best will do for these two divas (I feel their large amount of cosmetic surgery reinforces my point). We would expect nothing less than them to wear large amounts of over expensive jewellery to accompany their ridiculously expensive designer wedding dresses. Find what is suited for you, weather you are eccentric, laid back, shy, sophisticated or a bubbly kind of person there will be a style of dress, jewellery and even flowers that match your personality!
Every dress needs different kinds of jewellery – for example, I don’t think you should wear a necklace if your wedding dress is a halter-neck, rather wear some big earrings. Similarly if the neckline is assymmetrical, a necklace coudl look wierd.
I would also add that you should be careful wearing rings and bracelets with jagged edges or even little hooks (like on many pieces of crystal jewellery), because the edges could get caught on your wedding dress!
Cool stuff, thanks for sharing, pretty much on the ball.
