Wedding jewelry has to match not only the wedding rings but also the style of dress. vintage earrings look great with a traditional wedding gown . When it comes to necklaces, you cannot really go wrong with pearls.

Earrings are an area that you have to pay close attention to. Most often bigger is better, however they should not take attention away from the main event and that is the wedding dress. The earrings should complement both, the hair style and the dress.

Different types of earrings look better with certain hairstyles. Updo's look great with a chunkier styled earring. If you are wearing a veil or tiara then a hoop earring would be appropriate.

One big mistake brides often make is over accessorizing or even under accessorizing. There is nothing tackier than a dress with a lot heavy embroidery or rhinestones and other sparkles, then more bling on the arms, neck and ears. Or a plain dress with nothing to jazz it up, boring.

The cut of the bodice is what will dictate the type of necklace that you should look for. Strapless or off the shoulder cuts look great with a choker or 12' -14' pearls. The deep V cut is perfect with a teardrop necklace or a nice sweetheart necklace.
