Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Preema, and congratulations on your upcoming marriage. The most classic jewellery for a wedding is pearls, followed by silver. The more modern use of crystal allows for variety in your wedding jewellery, and crystals comes in many different colours, so you can carry a theme colour into your jewellery for a modern look.
There are many choices that you have, depending upon the bodice of your dress. If your wedding gown bodice is detailed, I would suggest a simple pearl strand. If your gown is of a more simple style, you can go with a more detailed and full necklace. You want the length of the necklace to sit comfortably between your neck and the top of the wedding gown. Earrings and a tiara or bridal headpiece can accent your look, and give the illusion of more height. If you have a full neck height wedding dress, then I would suggest earrings and a tiara.
You say you have long hair. This lets you play with many different styles. I suggest you try different "up-do’s" to see what you like the best. Take pictures of yourself with these hairstyles to see what they look like. Although it is great to have a spectacular hair style, when you look back at your pictures, you want to see what you looked like in those years, so a style that is close to your regular look is most often recommended. I suggest you ask a friend who is good with hair to come over one day and help you experiment with different looks. Or, if you have a favourite hairdresser, you can visit him/her and see what they will recommend.
It is always good to try a hairstyle out before the wedding to see if it is what you truly want. If you are having a headpiece and veil, you might find that the hairstyle is really not that important because it is mostly covered up. I suggest you try different hairstyles with your jewellery, headpiece and veil, because it will be a whole look.
