Choose the dress first
 
Selecting your dress first is essential, because it is the most important part of your bridal look. Also, most brides will end up choosing a completely different dress to the one they first had in mind, so if you buy your jewellery first, it may not end up matching the dress.
 
Don’t overshadow the dress
 
Even though your accessories are important, be careful not to let them upstage your dress. Your guests will be excited to see what your dress looks like, rather than the jewellery, so make sure you choose pieces which will complement your look, and not overshadow it.
 
Gold or Silver (not both)
 
Keep your look consistent by opting for either gold or silver for your bridal jewellery (we would also recommend white gold or platinum). A good way to decide is to match everything with your engagement and wedding ring, or you could think about which would best suit your colour scheme.
 
Explore coloured jewellery
 
Adding a little burst of colour to your look can complement your theme, whether it’s to match your flowers, the bridesmaids’ dresses, or the colour of your engagement ring. 
 
Consider your skin tone
 
Find out which colours best suit your skin tone, and bear this in mind when shopping for your bridal jewellery. Your hair colour and eye colour can also play a big part in how your jewellery will look, so if you’re unsure about what works for you, the best thing is to try the jewellery on before making a decision. 

Stick to classic styles
 
If you want your wedding photos to appear timeless in years to come, little details like jewellery can play a big part. Instead of being swept away with the latest jewellery trends (which will soon fade), look for classic styles which will stand the test of time.
 
It doesn’t have to match
 
The lovely thing about choosing your wedding jewellery is that you can build up a look that reflects your personal style – this means that it doesn’t have to match if you don’t want it to! Many brides may be offered a family heirloom to wear on their wedding day, so this naturally will not match any new jewellery purchased. 
 
Think beyond the big day
 
While you can only wear your wedding dress once, you can keep your jewellery for other occasions. This is a good way to determine how much to spend on your bridal jewellery – it may be worth spending a bit more if you can wear the jewellery again. 

Trust your instincts
 
The most important thing when buying your bridal jewellery is to trust what you like and dislike, and not to be talked into decisions you may regret later. A good jeweller will be able to help you find jewellery that suits your dress and your style.
