Bridal Earrings

Usually the choice of earrings for the bride’s wedding jewelry follows the choice of the necklace. As you match the necklace to the dress, you match the earrings to the necklace. If you are not wearing a necklace, you match the earrings to the dress. They should also be coordinated with the headpiece and hair accessories.

The bridal earring stones and metal should be the same in the necklace and earrings. As for style, the more elaborate the necklace, the simpler the earrings. With either a simple necklace or without a necklace, you can opt for fancier earrings or traditional stud earrings, depending on your style.

If you are wearing a tiara or other fancy bridal hair accessories, you may want to choose less elaborate earrings, whereas if you are not wearing any accessories with your hairstyle, you may want to wear more elaborate wedding earrings. But if your style is simple elegance, the right style for you might be diamond or pearl stud earrings or a small drop earring.

Consider your hairstyle for the wedding day. Will your hair be styled up or down? Hair pulled up shows off a drop earring, while hair left down may work best with smaller earrings that won't get lost in your hair.

What earring style is most flattering on your shape of face? If you have a full or round face, you may want to add length with a longer, drop earring. If you have a narrow face, you may want to add fullness with a hoop or shorter style of earring.

The style of earring are you most comfortable wearing, would also be worth considering when purchasing your wedding earrings. If you are uncomfortable wearing dangle earrings, don't choose dangle earrings for your wedding. If a small pair of stud earrings tends to look lost on your ears, choose a more elaborate design.

When making your final choice for wedding earrings, keep in mind that these earrings are a keepsake that you will be able to enjoy many more times over the years. Choose not only a style that works well for the wedding, but is a style that you would love to wear over and over again for all the special times yet to come.
