The dress might be the main event, but the details are where a bridal look really starts to feel like your own. The veil, the shoes, the bouquet, the something borrowed… and then there’s the jewellery. More specifically, what’s happening at the ears.
Bridal earrings have long existed in the realm of pearls, diamonds and delicate drops, but there’s no rule saying your wedding jewellery has to look like it came with a dress code. More and more, we’re seeing modern brides shed the traditional wedding attire in favour of something that feels a little more ‘them’. Your wedding day is important, so why wouldn’t you want to feel wholly and uniquely yourself? The right pair might be an antique pearl from another generation, or perhaps you’re after something a little more sculptural to complement a pared-back dress?
It’s also worth considering what’s happening around them. An updo can make a statement earring feel even more dramatic, while loose waves or a dramatic veil might call for something a little more understated. And if your dress is already doing plenty, a simple earring can be the thing that grounds the whole look.
Below, find the pair of earrings just right for your big day — and, ideally, every occasion that comes after it.
