Timeless (and affordable) wedding jewellery you’ll actually want to wear again
From bridal earrings and bracelets to diamond necklaces.
You’ve picked out your wedding dress, bought the perfect short wedding dress for the reception (outfit changes are encouraged for next-level nuptials), broken in your wedding shoes, and now all that’s left is to find the perfect wedding jewellery.
It’s a detail easily forgotten with the mile-long to-do list that comes with planning a wedding, but one we’d seriously encourage you to think about well ahead of the big day. After all, the best wedding jewellery provides the perfect finishing touch to your overall wedding look.
The best timeless wedding jewellery to shop now
Aside from gorgeous hair accessories, jewellery is the easiest way to add a touch of glamour to your dress or bridal jumpsuit. Not to mention, choosing personalised pieces is a super sweet sentiment that doubles as a memento of your special day – ya know, along with the thousands of photos! We can’t think of a better occasion to treat yourself to ‘something new’.
Obviously, your engagement ring and wedding band will be taking centre stage during the ceremony, but there are bridal earrings, necklaces and bracelets to think about. Pearls are traditional, but a delicate chain bracelet enhances the feminine feel of a boho wedding gown while an elegant long-sleeve dress benefits from a statement topaz or aquamarine necklace that serves the ‘something blue’ requirement. Plus, if your wedding hairstyle is an updo, you can’t go wrong with simple studs or OTT chandelier shoulder grazers.
To help reduce the wedding stress, we’ve rounded up the best bridal jewellery to buy now from some of our favourite jewellery brands, whatever your style and budget. Think Astrid & Miyu, Mejuri, Missoma and more...
