Getting Bejeweled - Tips on Buying Wedding jewellery
You could take professional help while buying your wedding jewellery. However, if your budget is tight and you prefer to make your own decisions, here are a few tips on buying the right wedding jewellery.
Selecting the Jeweler
It is important to buy your wedding jewellery from a reputed dealer. This not only ensures quality but you will also be able to pick and choose from a wide selection. Do a bit of research amongst your friends and on the net before narrowing down on potential jewelers. If your family has a favored jeweler, buy your wedding jewellery from him - you may get better discounts.
Get the Style Right
Be sure that your wedding jewellery co-ordinates with the theme of your wedding. It should also look right with your wedding outfit and hair-do. For example, if your bridal dress is elaborately designed, then simple but elegant wedding jewellery will be perfect. Your jewellery should complement your dress and not overshadow it. Also decide on what kind of hair-do you will be sporting for the wedding. Most women prefer chandelier earrings with an upswept style. For more fussy hair-dos, an elegant pearl or diamond stud will be ideal.
Select jewellery That is Timeless
Fashion trends will play an important role in the selection of your wedding jewellery. But some fashions are simply timeless. It makes sense to invest in jewellery that will always have allure. After all, you could pass it on to your children as a family heirloom.
Let Your Wedding jewellery Speak for You
You not only have to look good on your wedding day, you also have to feel good. This is possible only if you are totally comfortable with the jewellery that you have selected. So select pieces that are in tune with your personality. If you normally prefer the simple look, then your wedding jewellery should reflect this philosophy. If you go against your instincts while shopping for wedding jewellery, you may end up with some beautiful pieces that don't really appeal to you - and this can detract from your glow on your wedding day.
Buy Only What You Need
Weddings can be a financial strain as they often go over budget. Be careful when you shop for your wedding jewellery. Make a list of what you actually need to complete your look. The range of bridal jewellery is wide extending from rings, necklaces, tiaras, bracelets and other specialty pieces depending on which part of the world you live in. But you do not really need to buy everything. Decide on the budget, make a plan and stick to it.
Be Smart!
The days of buying heavy jewellery to wear on your wedding day and then locking it up forever are long gone. Most women now prefer to buy jewellery that they can use time and again.
