Which earrings for a wedding?

A wedding is the perfect moment to go all out with stylish earrings. But choosing the right pair can be tricky. They need to match your dress and your hairstyle.

We’re happy to share some tips to help you find the best earrings for your wedding.

Match with the neckline of your wedding dress

The shape of your wedding dress determines how much ‘space’ there is for jewelry.

  • Strapless: You have plenty of space around your neck and shoulders. Wear statement earrings or longer drops that draw attention to your face.
  • V-neck: Choose something more subtle if you’re also wearing a necklace. For example, go for teardrop earrings that follow the line of your neckline.
  • High neckline: Keep it simple. Large earrings can make the look too busy. It’s better to go for subtle studs or small pearls.

Consider your hairstyle

How you wear your hair determines how visible your earrings are. Our advice:

  • Choose earrings with a bit of sparkle or volume when wearing your hair down. Small studs can get lost behind your hair.
  • With an updo, anything goes. This is your chance to shine with an extravagant design or classic drop earrings.
  • Going for a half-up hairstyle? A good middle ground is medium-sized drop earrings that occasionally catch the light through your hair.

Choose your style

It’s a good idea to match the color of your earrings to the color of your wedding dress.

  • An ivory / off-white dress pairs well with yellow gold. This enhances the warm undertone of the fabric.
  • For a bright white wedding dress, white gold and silver are great options. They keep your look fresh and modern.
  • If you prefer a champagne / blush dress, go for rose gold, which complements these soft tones nicely.
