Trying to decide what bridal jewelry to wear on your wedding day? We can give you a few ideas to get you started.
The current trend in bridal jewelry is antique, vintage, and big and bold. If you are lucky to have the perfect antique piece of jewelry from a relative that you positively love, your search may be over. Not sure? Spend some time with your mother, grandmother or other favorite older relative and see what type of jewelry they may have to lend you. If you find something you absolutely love, then you have just found the perfect bridal jewelry for your wedding day.
Crystal wedding jewelry sets are also another option to look at for this year. Beautiful Swarovski or Austrian crystal necklace sets are available in an array of colors - one sure to match your wedding color. A trend we've noticed is that the bridesmaids are wearing clear crystal while the bride is wearing a clear crystal necklace set intertwined with the wedding color to match the bridal party. This look is particularly stunning with the darker wedding colors such as chocolate, burgundy, and black.
Rhinestone jewelry is perfect for the Bling, Bling, big and bold look you're seeing on so many brides this year. Rhinestone jewelry sets have come a long way in terms of quality and design. Whatever your style is - contemporary, Art Deco, traditional or vintage, there is sure to be a rhinestone jewelry set that you will love. The great thing about many bridal jewelry sets is that you really can wear them again after the wedding - perfect for bridesmaid jewelry sets too.
Don't forget about classic jewelry pieces such as diamond studs, diamond teardrop pendants and diamond bracelets are always in vogue but if you're just starting out, you may not have collected these classic pieces yet. CZ designer inspired bridal jewelry is another option to take a look at and only you will know that your jewelry isn't the "real" thing. The beautiful chandelier earrings, necklaces and art deco bracelets you see on the red carpet will look just as enticing on you on your wedding day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tuxedo and Pantsuit Okay?
By: stephanie | 12-10-2008
My boyfriend and I are getting married very quietly in a civil ceremony. We both do not want a traditional wedding. I don't have an engagement ring and I don't want one, nor do I want to wear a white dress. I am wearing a black and white pantsuit. At most, there will be 6 people there. It is almost an elopement. Question: Can my boyfriend still wear a tuxedo if I don't wear a wedding dress? He has a tuxedo but says it is up to me. I feel that if he dresses formally/traditionally, then I will get more criticized for not wearing a white wedding dress; but on the other hand, people are going to criticize me anyway for not changing my last name, for refusing a female-only shower, so what is a little more criticism? My boyfriend says that maybe we should just flip a coin, since the main thing is that we care about each other. Is a tuxedo okay if the woman is wearing a pantsuit?
