The 3 Golden Rules for Choosing the Right Wedding Jewellery

With Married at First Sight dominating our screens from Sunday to Thursday, it's hard not to be inspired by the stunning bridal looks, sparkling jewellery, and dreamy hairstyles on display. Whether you're planning your own big day or simply daydreaming about it, finding the right accessories is key to creating a look that feels uniquely yours. From statement earrings to delicate hairpieces, the perfect finishing touches can elevate your ensemble from beautiful to unforgettable. Experts at Abbott Lyon have revealed how to choose wedding accessories that balance timeless elegance with your personal style.

How to Choose Your Wedding Accessories

1. Match Your Metals to Your Mood
Gold adds warmth and vintage glamour; silver or platinum feels timeless and refined; and rose gold brings a soft, romantic glow. Choose the tone that complements both your dress and your skin. If your gown features embellishments, match your metal to the beading or embroidery for a cohesive finish. Abbott Lyon recommends: Pairing a silver Signature Name Necklace or Tennis Bracelet.

2. Think About Your Hairstyle
Your hairstyle and jewellery should work in harmony. A relaxed, boho updo pairs beautifully with dainty drop earrings or delicate hairpins, while a sleek bun allows bold statement earrings or a jewelled comb to shine. If you're wearing your hair down, opt for simple pieces that won't tangle, like the Mini Pearl Clover Earrings. Brides who choose to wear a veil should try it on with their jewellery and hair accessories in advance, making sure each piece complements, rather than competes, for attention.

3. Let Your Neckline Guide Your Jewellery
The neckline of your dress is key when selecting your necklace and earrings. Strapless or sweetheart: Highlight your collarbones with a statement necklace or layered chains. V-neck: Choose a pendant that mirrors the V shape for balance and elongation. High neck or halter: Skip the necklace and focus on statement Oval Hoop Earrings. Perfect for styling solo or stacked with huggies. Off-the-shoulder: A delicate choker or short necklace like the Fine Chain Necklace adds elegance without distraction.
