Okay, so you’ve already gone onto the Get Hitched website and gotten some help when it comes to choosing the perfect wedding dress. Your shoes are lying neatly in their little cardboard box out of harm’s way. So what’s next? The wedding jewellery. Although many people consider this to be one of the more minor details, it is also one of the details which people are most likely to get wrong. Here we give you our top tips on how to accessorize your wedding outfit on the big day.
1. Buy a Style of Wedding Jewellery that Fits in With Your Dress
I know that on everyone’s big day they have the right to wear whatever they want, however they want, but objectively speaking, a traditional white dress is probably never going to look great with a chunky tribal necklace. If you must wear a necklace, try to go for something more delicate that will fit in with the lightness of your dress.

2. Don’t Over Accessorize
While some people might like wearing an entire suite of pearls, complete with bracelet, necklace and earrings, this doesn’t always look very nice even if the items are from the same set. If you’re wearing a bracelet, you can probably get away with earrings from the same set because there is distance between your arm and your ears and it won’t look too matchy-matchy. The same rule applies to wearing a necklace and earrings together. Matching things can completely overwhelm your look and not in a good way.

3. Go For a Style That You’ll Be Able to Wear After Your Big Day
There are some people who buy and wear specific items of wedding jewellery just for their big day and never again, but most people feel that if they are going to invest in something special, they might as well get something that they can keep wearing. If you want to keep wearing the wedding jewellery you bought, try to go for something simple and timeless that won’t age. Diamond or pearl studs are perfect examples of classic pieces that will see you through the years.

4. Stay Within Your Budget But Buy Clever
Even though real pearl earrings don’t cost a bomb to buy nowadays, such a luxury may not fall within the confines of your budget. If that is the case, try to buy fakes which look just like the real thing. There are many cubic zirconia pieces on the market today which look identical to high-end pieces. If you’re finding trouble finding what you want, don’t be scared to ask on Get Hitched – they will definitely be able to hook you up with the right wedding jewellery vendor.
