Everything you need to know to find the perfect jewelry.
If you thought finding the dress was fun, you're in for a real treat -- it's time to accessorize. Just remember the first rule in wedding jewelry: Don't overdo it. It's tempting to load up on baubles and bling, but you don't want all those precious metals to outshine you on the big day. Follow these four simple steps and you'll look like royalty without looking like you've raided the queen's closet.
1. Show Your True Colors
Knowing what type of metal will work with your gown's shade of white is a good way to begin choosing your jewelry.
White Gown: Gold embellishments may clash with this bright white hue. We suggest sticking to pearl and platinum.
Diamond-white Gown: This barely off-white color works with gold and silver (and rose gold, and pearl -- you get the idea).
Ivory Gown: This candlelight shade is a soft, light white, and some versions even have yellow undertones. Adorn yourself with gold jewelry to highlight the creamy tint of the fabric.
