1. Have your bridal jewelry custome made
Many times brides have ordered white pearl wedding jewelry to find out later that it does not match the ivory color of their dress. Don't make this common mistake - be sure to keep your receipt if buying in a store locally and make sure they take returns if you find that it does not look exactly right.
The best option is to order your jewelry, for the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, etc, with someone who will customize it for you, with the exact color and look you desire. Find bridal jewellery here at http://www.silver5.com/bridal-jewelry/
2. Measure for the perfect size
Find out the right size. This idea gets top marks for keeping your wedding jewelry purchases timely and hassle-free. With a simple string and paying close attention to the size options available, you can measure your neckline (with your wedding gown on) to get the perfect necklace size.
With that same string you can measure your wrist tight and add 25 cm (1 inch) to get the perfect bracelet size. Be sure to find the measurement (see details on product page) of the earrings and hold up similar sized earrings in your current jewelry box to see how you like the length.
Everyone's size and gowns are different, your jewelry should fit perfectly just like your gown does, so make sure you can have your bridal jewelry custom sized just for you and your dress, otherwise you may be scrambling at the last minute to find some jewelry that "just works" rather than having the perfect look and size you dreamed of.
3. Get a jewelry style that matches your style and wedding gown
There is nothing more obnoxious than having your jewelry overpower your wedding dress. Bridal jewelry is meant to complement your wedding gown, not overpower it. It can be hard to find a beautiful bridal jewelry set that matches the look of your gown and doesn't do more harm than good.
It is also hard to go without the added sparkle that jewelry brings to your wedding style, although sometimes brides forgo wearing a necklace and have only a bracelet and earrings - especially if the gown has a high neckline or a very jewel encrusted neckline. Don't forget to weigh all of your options before you decide, you want your individual style to show through.
Stay away from overly ornate sets with lots of metal settings, clusters, and sometimes hundreds of cz's, they can date your look (a lot of the bridal jewelry sets being sold today are some of the same looks your mother wore on her wedding day) and prove to add so much intricacy that it can be hard to look at.
4. Purchasing online has tons of advantages
There is a host of reasons why buying online can be better for you in nearly every way possible :
- Availability. You can choose from a world of designers and stores you can't find in your local area.
- Specialists. Online you find specialized shops who do one thing, and do it very, very well and have a huge selection of exactly what you are looking for, as compared to a mall or bridal stores who sell a vast sea of items, very few of which are bridal jewelry items, and sales people who specialize in very little.
- Tax-Free. You don't pay any tax (although in most cases this is canceled out with shipping charges, unless you get free shipping too.)
- Freshest Looks. It is likely no one will have ever seen the fresh, new bridal jewelry designs that you choose.
- Expert Support, Fast. Expert advice is only a toll-free phone call or email away.
- Convenient and Hassle Free. Shop 24/7 right inside your own home, no driving in traffic, parking, standing in line, or dealing with rude and unhelpful clerks.
- Social Media Support. Email or tweet your friends to help you decide with very little effort. (Look into using a site's wishlist feature to help.)
- Unrivaled Choice. View and compare literally hundreds of looks in less than the time it takes to drive to the mall.
- Safe. Online transactions can be some of the safest transactions anywhere. Although for the most part, people are honest and trusting, there could be a waiter or waitress out to get you, and copy your credit card information while in his/her possession and use it to make all sorts of charges over the phone and internet almost immediately.
5. Start shopping early
Whether in the store or online, getting your bridal jewelry as early as possible will help relieve the stress of trying to get something perfect in a few short days, which never works out well. Take some of the hassle out of shopping and order your bridal jewelry early online and if there is any unforseen problems when it arrives, you have plenty of time to have changes made or order something else without being pressured with how much time you have until the wedding.
6. Seek out Bridal jewelry in modern versions of classic styles
It's hard to go wrong with jewelry that has classic, ageless appeal with a fresh modern updated look. It's hard to go wrong with jewelry that has classic, ageless appeal with a fresh modern updated look. The same is true with bridal jewelry, you want to look for bride's jewelry that is current but has classic form and style so when you look at your wedding pictures in 5 or 10 years you won't be embarrassed by the jewelry you were wearing on your wedding day and then be embarrassed for anyone to see the photos.
