Your wedding day is your moment to sparkle and along with your perfect wedding dress you have to think of the little extras that give your outfit that ‘wow’ factor. Crystal accessories and jewellery has been a huge look in wedding fashion over the past year and this trend is set to continue because of the fine elegance and understated class crystal tends to lend to a wedding. Many a bride has walked down the aisle wearing family heirloom jewellery but for every piece of inherited luxury, there are other pieces of jewellery that need to sparkle along side them.
When I think of crystal, one name springs to mind Swarovski. Swarovski www.swarovski.com have a collection called ‘Bridal Essentials’ which covers every bit of jewellery a bride could want. Their ‘Cosmos Aurora Borealis Tiara’ for £340 is refined elegance with clustered crystals oozing quality with every sparkling turn. Crystals are perfect for the headpiece as it ensures people notice your gorgeous hairdo. For a more affordable alternative ‘Glitzy Secrets’ sell their ‘Heirloom of Yesteryear Tiara’ at £44.50. This is a beautiful understated piece, traditional and classic. Although it is not from Swarovski, this crystal tiara will catch the light as you saunter down the aisle and give you the same elegant look.
Finding the right tiara can take a while because they are not sold in your average jewellery shop. You will find them in bridal shops or online where there is a multitude of shops which sell a huge variety. Two UK sites are Bridalgems.co.uk and Josee.co.uk. For a bespoke headpiece annielauriebridal.co.uk is just one of many online services which can ensure you have a unique design for your hair decoration.
Crystal earrings are also in fashion with a large selection in jewellery shops as well as bridal shops. The Ebuni online shop www.Ebuni.com sells a pair of stunning ‘star crystal earrings’ for £34. They are stud earrings comprising two separate crystal sizes to vary the look of the earring.
The ultimate in crystal sophistication comes with the addition of crystal on your wedding gown. Crystals are extremely commonplace on bridal gowns at present and to ensure you have something just that little bit different take inspiration from the Aidan Mattox crystal necklace gown. This was worn by actor Kristin Chenoweth and crystals are flaunted by many other celebrities. Swarovski fans include Eva Longoria Parker, Jennifer Hudson, Kristin Scott-Thomas and Jennifer Lopez to name a few so you will be in good company!
If you are looking for sparkle without the crystal, then Ernest Jones sell a great pair of 9 carat gold mesh drop earrings for £85 which may complement the bride who has chosen yellow gold over silver, white gold or platinum for her jewellery. If you just can’t decide on which element to select for your jewellery there is still hope for you. Many jewellery stores now stock combined gold jewellery so you don’t have to choose between the looks of yellow and white gold. Ernest Jones sells a classic style of ring (which you can choose to be your wedding band) for £275. This is a three colour gold diamond stacker ring which comprises a set of three rings – all classic in their design but each one in a different gold. The perfect alternative if you are having trouble deciding which look to go for.
