Bling... a girl's best friend.
It's a known fact that ladies love accessories... especially if they BLING!
Like all the other factors, searching for the right accessories for your big day is just as important.
On my wedding day I wore a gorgeous pair of Showstopper Sterling silver plated Earrings with Swarovski crystals and glass stones by Badgley Mischka.
These over-sized dangles were ornate yet sophisticated... so of course there was no need to further bedazzle myself with a necklace... my earrings & headpiece were already doing the talking.
All that was left to complete the look was a delicate bracelet... so I shopped around and fell in love with this Star Light Star Bright Bracelet by Nicole Miller... a beautiful fourteen karat gold plated bracelet with Swarovski crystals... the perfect match for my earrings. The only problem was that it was gold plated... and gold was not a part of my accessory scheme. *Le sigh*
So I painfully passed up the idea of the Nicole Miller bracelet and kept searching.
At one point I had forgotten about the bracelet because I was back to focusing on more important things concerning the wedding and before I knew, it was the day before the wedding and I still did not have a bracelet... YIKES!
I decided to run to David's Bridal to see what I could find and low and behold there it was... A simple, yet sophisticated piece that caught my attention... SOLD!
Headpiece, check... Earrings, check... Bracelet, check... I was set. The look was clean and sophisticated and made the right amount of statement that was needed.
Ladies, ensuring that your accessories compliment not only the dress but also each piece is very important. Make sure that you pick pieces that are not dated. Make sure that your color/tone & stone selection are in sync.
Diamonds are not the only precious gem out there that will have you looking beautifully accessorized. There are so many other choices... Swarovski, crystals, pearls, rhinestones, black stones, Czech stones, silver plated/gold plated combined with any of the above stones. Studs, clusters, dangles, whether clip-on or pierced. You can even get funky with it and throw some COLOR in the mix. Think outside the box & make your earrings your "SOMETHING BLUE"... Endless possibilities & guess what? THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
Find what makes you shine and go for it!
Until next time,
Smile, you're on camera ☺
