How to pick your bridal earrings

From first dates, to weddings, anniversaries and more, details like the earrings worn on these special occasions tend to be something we remember and love forever. 

Here are 5 tips on picking your bridal earrings:

Balance
When it comes to your wedding day, the dress is the centrepiece of your look, complimented by your hair and accessories. For this reason, it’s actually important not to over-accessorise and instead to focus on earrings that balance and anchor your dress, whatever mood or style that may be. 

Comfort
With so much to take in and enjoy on your special day, comfort is key when it comes to your wedding earrings. If you’re not used to wearing large statement earrings, then perhaps your wedding day isn’t the day to start. Either practice wearing them in the lead up to the day or opt for something you’re more familiar with and know will be practical to wear all day long. 

Hairstyle
If you’re set on a particular style for the day, consider the overall feel of your look, which earring style best fits and which part of the earrings will be seen. For example, if you’re opting for an up do, the back of the earrings are also likely be on show. A pair of beautiful stud earrings are the perfect partner to complete this elegant look. Here are some of our favourite bridal stud earrings.

Accessories
If you’ve already picked them, then take into consideration the other accessories you’re wearing and pick an earring style that will work alongside the chosen items. If you’ve gone for a glamorous necklace or headpiece, then a more subtle pair of earrings with a similar look and feel will help to ground the overall look. 

Bridal party
It may not be that you want to match your bridesmaids or maid-of-honour, but it can be a nice touch to have earrings that co-ordinate with your own, a small but beautiful detail which always looks great in photographs! Earrings in particular can make a really special gift and something you and your bridal party can cherish for years to come.
