Beautiful brides know the value of choosing just the right jewelry for the big day is just as important as picking out the engagement rings.  Spring brings new options for up-coming nuptials.  Here’s a run-down of what’s fresh for the current season.

White Jewelry

White is the traditional color for brides and this year is no exception.  Jewelry is primarily pearls and diamonds or good quality rhinestones in silver or even invisible settings.  Very little gold and no colored gems were evident in spring’s wedding fashions.

Hair Accessories

Tiaras have overtaken the traditional veil for the warm weather.  Most tiaras were a single band about an inch in width.  Design elements include pearls arranged in daisy shapes or rhinestone-encrusted links that appear to float in the hair.  With this year’s emphasis on a smaller sleeker hairstyle, a dainty tiara is the perfect touch.

Earrings

Earrings are also a bit smaller and closer to the head.  Post styles were more common than chandeliers though options are not limited to diamond solitaires!  Button styles are available in more shapes than the usual circle, many extending below the earlobe to provide greater stability for pearl or diamond embellishments.  A popular style has multiple pearl drops with rhinestone accents that draw attention to a beautiful neck.

Necklaces

Necklaces are shorter and nestle along the collar bone.  Most of this spring’s showings are jewels links with almost invisible settings that curved close to the throat.  Many are round but sweetheart shapes were also available. Necklaces are thicker than earlier this year and crusted with rhinestones or use pave diamonds to give quite a substantial appearance without weight due to the reflective shine of the stones.

Bracelets

Bracelets are making an appearance, no wonder with the sleeveless styles popular in warmer weather!  The trend is for cuffs rather than single strands and it’s all about pearls.  Multi-strand styles were most common, giving a finished effect to the wrist.  Although the style seems solid, the use of white, cream and crystal or diamond keep the jewelry from being heavy in appearance.

A common misconception with inexperienced jewelry shoppers is that shopping online for jewelry is risky, and that diamond wedding rings should only be bought at actual brick and mortar jewelry stores. However, you will find that, surprisingly enough, there are many perks to shopping for your wedding ring online:

  • You will find that wedding rings sold online are far less expensive than wedding rings sold in brick and mortar jewelry stores. As online jewelry stores do not have the overhead and expenses that are common to brick and mortar jewelry stores, they will be able to offer their consumers high end, high quality wedding rings for more affordable prices.
  • In addition to their low prices, online jewelry sites are known for their sales and coupons. Therefore, a customer who is looking to buy a quality wedding ring that he or she will not necessarily be able to afford at a brick and mortar jewelry store would do best to shop for the ring online.
  • Online jewelry stores are known for their rich selection of wedding rings, from more traditional wedding ring deigns such as the solitaire diamond wedding ring to edgier, more modern wedding band designs such as the gemstone cocktail wedding ring or the tension set wedding band, online stores carry it all. As such a customer who is looking for a more unconventional, unique wedding ring will have an easier time finding his or her perfect wedding ring online.
  • Discerning the reputation of an online jewelry store is by far easier than checking up on the repute of an actual brick and mortar jewelry store. Since online jewelry stores are more accessible to an increasing amount of customers, you will find that these stores have an abundance of customer testimonials, product reviews and store reviews posted online.

Trends in Exotic Beach Wedding Dresses

If you are looking for a beach wedding you should choose the dress very carefully. When it is a beach wedding you need to keep in mind the fact that it could get quite windy at times. Similarly if the bride has to walk in the sand, then wedding gowns have to be picked carefully. There is a trend for exotic beach wedding dresses which shows that people are indeed trying out different trends these days. While traditional beach dresses are usually white gowns, there are some exotic trends including unconventional frocks and colours like light brown and pink are in contention as well.

Exotic beach wedding dresses can have some designer trends with embellishments consisting of sequins, stones or beads. For example a beach gown with veils bordered with shells could be ideal for a beach wedding. If you want to go for something more unconventional, you could go for maxi dresses, silk or lighter fabrics, shorter dress styles in chiffon, three quarter length frocks and full skirt wedding dresses. The heat and sand should be considered depending upon the season in which the wedding is taking place.

One can also go for intricate designs. Frills are quite popular but so are several other patterns including stuffed, puffy ad layered wedding dresses. To add to the exotic nature of the wedding gown one can go for floral patterns appreciated by modern brides who prefer casual wedding gowns. Strapless, halter plunging necklines, sleeveless or even one shoulder wedding gowns could be amongst the styles you could pick if you want to move away from the traditional wedding gown. If you want to avoid the flowing or draping look on a beach, you can go for the shorter knee length gowns which are not necessarily while in colour. Magenta, aqua blue and lilac are some of the colours you could choose as alternatives for exotic beach wedding dresses. Photos courtesy of www.wholesaleweddingdresses.ca
