Most brides-to-be have probably been planning their ideal wedding for years. They might not admit it, but it is true! She has the image of how she wants to look on her big day.  When the time comes to plan the event 'for real,' the most minor details are important and should be given careful thought before coming to the final decisions.

For most women, "The Dress" comes first—the choice of wedding dress is among the foremost items which any prospective bride will consider.  No matter the style, the dress must be the one in which the bride feels her most beautiful and elegant.

Match Your Wedding Dress To Your Jewellery

Whether you envision yourself in a classic white gown, an elaborate lacy dress or an edgy, bright pink dress, your attitude to the dress is what will make you, or any bride, the beautiful woman, full of pride, on her wedding day.  The process of choosing your wedding dress should always remain fun and as stress-free as possible. The essential rule is to buy the dress that makes you feel the most beautiful.

Once you have chosen the wedding dress, you have completed the fitting process, and the deposit is paid, and the matter of "The Dress" has been dealt with, you will need to finish off the way you will look when you walk down the aisle.  This is where all of the little details you hemmed and hawed about will come together to create a unique and magnificent combination of you - the perfect image of a perfect bride!  Now comes the next step – choosing the right diamond bridal jewellery to match your wedding dress and your style.

The bridal jewellery that you decide upon should coordinate with the wedding dress you have selected to wear. 

Keeping in mind your dress's style, the wedding jewellery you choose should be selected with as careful attention to detail as when choosing your wedding gown.  The bridal jewellery you choose should finish off your look and complete the entire ensemble. 

Here are some suggestions to help you make great choices when you match your wedding dress to your wedding jewellery.

Open Backed Wedding Dress

If you choose an open back wedding dress, then adding a diamond lariat is an excellent way to impact to show off your beautiful wedding dress.  A bridal lariat is worn around your neck just like a standard necklace; however, the back of the neck will have a dangling piece of jewellery that will highlight the shapeliness of your back and finish off your look.

Lariats can be purchased that are adjustable, enabling a better fit for any bride with a backless dress – making sure that the hanging detail is placed precisely. 

Another way to show off a backless wedding dress is a choker or collar with hanging jewel detail at the back.  Bridal chokers have become an immensely popular and stylish choice for brides that want a slightly edgier look while still embracing classic traditions.

Square Top Wedding Dress

For brides that choose a wedding dress with a traditional square top, simple single and double-stranded necklaces are ideal for completing the neckline.  Stranded necklaces bring contrast to colour and texture and attract the viewer's eye toward the dress's cut.  For a clean look, diamond chokers are a perfect bridal jewellery style to pair with the square top dress.  Bridal chokers have become increasingly popular in recent years. There are many options for sale in jewellers, so brides find it much easier to select the perfect choker to fit their gowns' style.

V-Neck Wedding Dress

If you choose a V-neck style wedding dress, then you will discover that a Y-drop necklace makes a great finishing touch to your outfit.  A Y-drop necklace has the same visual angles neckline as your dress. 

Once again, bridal chokers are also an excellent selection for the bride choosing a V-neckline dress.  A choker gives a clean line that does not distract from the V-neck of the dress. 

Also worth considering are single and double-stranded necklaces. These also complement this wedding dress style, giving a clean yet elegant style that complements the dress's V-neck.

Strapless Wedding Dress

When you choose to wear a strapless gown, you will discover many options for the perfect diamond necklace.  A bridal choker is a beautiful way to complement the top of the dress's line.  A choker brings a parallel and symmetrical line to your neck. Adding a sparkling pearl or diamond bridal choker or collar to a strapless gown is an exquisite and sophisticated look. 

Alternatives to the bridal choker are simple pendant necklaces and single or multi-stranded necklaces that all make exciting choices to pair with a strapless wedding dress. 

When you wear a strapless gown, everybody's attention will be drawn to your shoulder and neck region. This makes it doubly important to choose perfect bridal jewellery that will look spectacular as part of your overall bridal look.

The Sweetheart Wedding Dress

You can nicely accessorise a sweetheart style of wedding dress with a Y-drop necklace. A correctly sized Y-drop will follow the neckline of the wedding dress.  Again, chokers go very well with this gown style, as do pendant or simple round necklaces.  A sweetheart wedding dress is an excellent choice; the bridal jewellery you choose to wear with your dress should always complement the neckline to make a coherent, planned look.

Off The Shoulder Wedding Dress

When you wear an off the shoulder dress, any style of necklace works.  A single or double-stranded necklace can frame your entire styling with simplicity.  If you prefer to wear a choker, that will bring the eyes of other people up to your face, making a fabulous finishing touch for your bridal look. 

Y-drops and lariats always look great with an off the shoulder dress.  Because your back is visible, a lariat will look elegant from behind when you are standing in front of the celebrant. A Y-drop necklace will draw the focus upon the bride.  Whatever style you decide upon for this style of wedding dress, you will not go far wrong.

Halter Top Wedding Dress

A halter top wedding dress cries out for a lariat or dangle backed necklace. Both are ideal for this style of wedding dress.  The viewer's attention will be drawn to the front as well as the back of the dress. The whole of your wedding dress will complement your bridal jewellery. 

A halter top dress is also completed with a Y-drop or pendant style of necklace. The Y-drop necklace is almost ideal for this wedding dress style, centring on this type of dress's look and feel.

Scoop Necked Wedding Gown

When you wear a scooped neck wedding dress, a simple single or multi-stranded necklace is an ideal choice.  A simple one to five strand bridal necklace will perfectly frame the top of your wedding dress.  A diamond choker is another excellent selection for this style of dress.  It is a simple yet perfect way to emphasise a scoop neckline.

One-Shoulder or Asymmetric wedding Dress

A dramatic style of wedding dress! If you choose this style, you should avoid wearing a necklace because it will always lack balance due to the lack of symmetry. You will be better served by a beautiful bracelet and a great pair of earrings for this dress style. A one-shoulder dress is a bold style; complement it with a bold bracelet and glam earrings.
