How To Choose Wedding Jewelry:
Jewelry is like seasoning—just enough brings everything to life, but too much can overwhelm. Let your dress set the tone: sleek satin loves sparkle, while lace pairs well with pearls. Match your metals to your gown (ivory loves gold, white shines with silver), and consider your shoes! If you’re wearing our crystal heels, let them lead the sparkle so your look stays balanced and effortless.

Your dress color can totally steer your jewelry vibe—whether it's cool, warm, or somewhere in between. The right shoes with the right embellishments can pull everything together for that perfect bridal look!

Balancing Your Bling:
Balance is key to creating a seamless bridal look—too much of one thing can overwhelm the other. Let’s get that perfect harmony between jewelry and shoes!
- Bold, detailed jewelry? Keep the shoes simple to avoid visual overload.
- Minimalist jewelry? Go for embellished or statement shoes to add a touch of interest.
- Match the sparkle level—a subtle sparkle in your jewelry pairs perfectly with gently embellished shoes.
- Coordinate your shoe and jewelry colors to keep things unified and chic.
Comfort is King:
Remember, you’ll be wearing your jewelry all day, so make sure comfort is a priority. Let your shoes carry that luxe vibe while keeping your feet happy—because a high-glam look should never come at the expense of comfort! And don’t forget your earrings or necklaces—keep them lightweight and tangle-free so they don’t interfere with your hair or veil. It’s all about balance—beauty and comfort can absolutely go hand in hand.
