Hello!
When choosing your jewelry for the wedding day, I have a golden rule - "Bling the bride, or bling the gown, but not both."

Some gowns are already designed with bling or embellishments at the bodice, and one would hope that it would be evident that a substantial necklace or even any necklace at all might not be necessary. Some gown fabrics like delicate laces or to the other extreme, a heavy satin, might dictate what type of jewelry would look best. A statement or chunky necklace can be a beautiful addition, but keep in mind your stature. A bride that is hardly 5 foot tall is going to look overwhelmed, and the necklace may wear the bride instead. As a side note, remember that some fabrics such as tulle or lace may not tolerate bracelets very well. They can snag that type of fabric (no matter how careful you think you will be) and the repairs are costly or impossible. I suggest that brides also watch the length and design of the earring they choose to wear that day. Too long of an earring may take away from your face and eyes, which is so important that day! Many think that a overly long earring will elongate the neck, but unless you are already a giraffe, you probably won't get the effect you are hoping for. Also, an earring that is weighty on your earlobe at the start of the day, may become unbearable or damaging by the end of a long wedding event.

In conclusion, be classy. Most times, "less is more."
