Take a Look at Your Dress

First things first, take a good look at the dress that you have selected to be ‘The’ dress for your wedding. Right down to every detail, right from the silhouette to the overall aesthetics, and let’s not forget the fabric and embellishment. Well, at first it might seem a bit silly to you, but trust the process here. The reason why we are telling you to take a closer look at your dress is that you want the wedding necklace for bride to compliment it, down to the very last detail. 

Okay, to make it a bit simple and a little less confusing, if your dress has very heavy embroidery detail, you might want to take a pause and then decide on the bride necklace for wedding. If here you go with a statement necklace, it might feel like too much is happening with the dress and the jewelry. However, if your dress is on the minimalist side with little to no embellishment. Well, that is really great. You can go with a statement lab diamond tennis necklace as your choice of wedding necklace for bride.

The Color of Your Dress

Well, there is no denying the fact that most wedding gowns are white in color, but there are always some different hues and tints that are present in the fabric. To simplify it for you, stark wedding gowns almost have a blue undertone to them, which perfectly complements cool-toned metals like white gold and platinum. 

For those gowns that have an ivory or champagne sort of tint to them, warm-toned jewelry like yellow gold and rose gold will complement the colors of your wedding gown. To be honest, the warm undertones of the fabric will of sorts flirt with the hues from the metal that you choose for the wedding necklace for bride. 

Coordinate the Metals

If you have read up until now, you might know how important it is to coordinate the metals of your wedding necklace for bride with your wedding gown. Simply, keep that in mind and stick to the same rule for all your accessories. Mixing metals for any other occasion might sound like an idea that is playful. However, mixing different metals for your big day can be a tad bit tricky, so it is a safe option to stick to one metal color for all your jewelry. Be it for the wedding necklace for bride, wedding earrings, or wedding bracelets. 

Opting for a cohesive look for all your jewelry pieces will have you looking your absolute best and might even add incredibly chic. 

Follow the Neckline

For those who didn’t know, the neckline of your dress can either make or break your outfit. So the wedding necklace for bride that you choose should complement your wedding dress and not clash with it. 

If your wedding dress is strapless or off-shoulder, we suggest you choose a necklace that is of choker length or a lab diamond pendant like our Lou Slider Lab Grown Diamond Pendant. A wedding necklace for bride like this will look perfectly balanced with your wedding ensemble without looking unbalanced.
