We all know the old saying: \’something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue\’, however not everyone wants to choose wedding jewellery the traditional way. If you are looking for a more personal touch then you may wish to choose your jewellery based on your own particular tastes or theme. What sort of factors should you take into account when deciding upon a particular theme?

The particular season in which you are getting married could play a big part in the style of jewellery you are looking to choose. There are various ways to coordinate your jewellery with the time of year. For example if you are planning a summer wedding then it would be a good idea to play up to that theme by choosing jewellery which reflects the colours of the season. Topaz, sapphire or emeralds will all look beautiful regardless of whether you weather them as a necklace, earrings or as a bracelet.

On the other hand, if your wedding is during the springtime then your selection of jewellery should reflect the explosion of colour that is seen in the flowers. Choose wedding jewellery that features the colours of your surroundings provided that it of course complements your gown. When it comes to picking jewellery with an autumnal wedding then you should narrow your choice to a range of yellow, orange and gold tones. Yellow diamonds, imperial topaz and garnet would be ideal. If your wedding falls during the winter months then you will have a variety of romantic options such as pearls, Swarovski crystals and of course diamonds. These will all look wonderful and will complement your wedding dress beautifully.

If you would prefer to stick to the traditional saying, then there are still a number of ways you can add a personal flourish to your wedding outfit. The \’something old\’ will usually refer to a family heirloom, which will of course have significant meaning. For the \’something borrowed\’ you may wish to borrow a beautiful pair of earrings from a friend or loved one. The \’something blue\’ is where you will really be able to pick something unique. Jewellery made from topaz, apatite or sapphire will give you a plentiful selection of beautiful jewellery.

If you decide to go for a look which is more glamorous then you will want jewellery that will make a bold statement. Wreathe or waterfall necklaces are ideal for this sort of look, as are daisy cuff bracelets. This sort of style would be well complemented with a tiara, teardrop dangle earrings or other types of vintage wedding jewellery.

For the bride who is looking to stray away from tradition, accessories made from more unconvential materials which convey a more casual look could be a good idea. It is not unknown for brides to sidestep convention by wearing accessories made from wood, wire or even flowers!

Whatever you choose for your wedding accessories, make sure that they are unique and personal to you and that they do the job for which they were intended – making you look fabulous.
