Finding the perfect beach wedding jewelry

Jewelry is an essential part of any bride’s wedding-day attire. Much depends on the gown and ceremony location, so for beach brides who generally choose simpler dress styles and outdoor locations, bridal jewelry can reflect a more fun, relaxed tone.

Pearls have long been a bridal staple, and can signify tradition and elegance. Beach brides may find formal white pearls to be a bit too stuffy for their wedding fetes, though. Instead, many are choosing colored pearls like these from Oriental Pearls Online. Pearls in fun and flirty hues add interest and individuality to a bride’s attire while maintaining a refined and graceful look.

If a bride has chosen a simple, flowing wedding gown for her beach ceremony, she has the opportunity to make a striking statement with her jewels. Try the Metropolitan Mixed Chain or the Dot Bloom Necklace from Stella & Dot. Their Spring Awakening Necklace would make a stunning compliment to sunset vows or photographs. Brides in the Akron Area can contact Stylist Katie Jones for individualized jewelry recommendations based on gown, wedding colors and ceremony location.

Since many beach brides choose to marry barefoot, there are also options for adorning the feet. At Lady Bead, brides can choose jewelry “sandals” that replace traditional shoes with a sparkly alternative designed to work in the sand. They also offer more traditional ankle bracelets.
