Beautiful pieces of jewelry that enhance your look are the quest for every Indian bride. However, as you may have encountered, shopping for jewelry isn’t as easy as it seems. With stores and pamphlets bombarding you with information and design, one often is overwhelmed with this vital decision. Then there is also the discussion of whether you should buy your jewelry before your wedding dress or the other way round.
So here we are, bringing you seven smart tips that will help to lessen your stress, choose smartly and look radiant on your wedding day.
What comes first: Jewelry vs attire
Many posts have already been debated over this topic, and you stand at a point where you’re not sure anymore. Well, let us ease this stress point. You can shop for whichever you fall in love with first. So, if you’re really in love with that beautiful wedding dress, go for it. Alternatively, if your visit to a jewelry store leads you to some beautiful Indian jewelry, you’d love to own, then shop for that first. You can then match your choice with the best compliment of jewelry or attire.
Keep your skin color in mind
Knowing about colors and playing them to your advantage is of utmost importance. Before you pair jewelry to your attire, match it with your skin tone first. So, while rose gold or yellow gold with pearls can look lovely on a darker complexion, opt for platinum or white gold with diamonds, semi-precious stones, and pearls if you’re fair.
Buy jewelry that complements your face shape
Many often make the mistake of buying jewelry that is in trend, rather than opting for pieces that complement their face shape. Yes, each face shape shows off some pieces of jewelry in a better manner and enhances your look. So while a long necklace can make a round face look pretty, choker styles are prettier complements for a bride with a more rectangular shape.
Focus on the entire look and keep the colors of your dress in mind
It is the entire bridal look that finally matters, and you need to keep the color wheel in mind. As you choose tones of jewelry as per your skin, match the colors to your dress as well. While the color of your jewelry need not be the same as your dress, ensure that they complement each other. Played right, even simple pieces can go a long way in making you look pretty. Also, as you work on the entire look, keep the neckline of your dress in mind, such that the jewelry and neckline complement each other, without creating discord.
Plan smartly not expensively
With many events associated, especially with Indian bridal wedding jewellery, brides often make the mistake of spending too much on jewelry. While it’s true that you need statement pieces of jewelry for each occasion, not everything needs to be in pure gold, platinum, or diamonds. You can opt for well-crafted jewelry that’s low in cost and adds to your look. Such smart planning can go a long way in giving you pieces that enhance your look, in a smart and non-expensive manner.
Choose craftsmanship over cost
Well-crafted jewelry that’s been handmade with care is always more alluring than jewelry bought from a run-on-the-mill store. While you should choose a special piece of jewelry from a place you trust, try to look for stores that give high attention to craftsmanship as well. Hand-crafted jewelry is in trend and will remain so for years to come. Opt for stores that tap into the expertise of designers and highly skilled craftsmen to create jewelry that has finesse and adds to your look. Interestingly, such pieces aren’t always expensive, and you can strike a balance for your wedding trousseau.
Walk with confidence
However expensive your dress and jewelry maybe, how you carry it off, can make a world of difference. So walk with confidence, whatever your unique choice of jewelry and dress maybe. Enjoy the special day and beam in happiness, and this will always keep you look magnificent.
