You've finally found the dress and a sexy pair of slingbacks for your big day, but now's not the time to rest on your laurels—accessorizing is also a key part of creating your wedding day look. Finding jewelry that complements the dress and expresses your personal style may seem daunting, but we have you covered. Here, four gorgeous jewelry ensembles to flatter any bride's style (and wear again, too).
Vintage-Inspired Bride
Vintage-inspired brides who want to look classic, not costumey, needn't splurge on estate jewelry to match their wedding day ensemble. If you've chosen a flapper-esque gown like Temperley London's Monaco Long Jean Dress, classic jewels with a modern twist are certainly within your reach. Try designer Carolee's line of jewelry. We love the look of thin bangles on a vintage-loving bride, and delicate pieces like her Austrian Crystal Hinged Bangle Bracelet ($65; maxandchloe.com) and Slender Crystal Encrusted Bracelet ($45; maxandchloe.com) when stacked, will keep your ensemble streamlined and sophisticated without sacrificing substance. Pair with her Diamond Drop Earrings ($38; maxandchloe.com) for a classic look you can dress up or down later.
Fashion-Forward Bride
Fashion-forward brides unafraid of taking the plunge in a daring mini like those in Oscar de la Renta's spring 2010 collection fancy a taste of rock-and-roll in their wedding day ensembles—and jewelry is no exception. Enter Mr. Karl Lagerfeld. The design legend's temporary tattoos for Chanel ($75 for a sheet of 55; chanel.com), worn on his spring 2010 runway and by Sarah Jessica Parker at the 2010 Academy Awards, add just a touch of irreverence to your look. Wear a simple wrist tattoo with the Large Crystal Link Bracelet ($180; maxandchloe.com) and Large Pearl and Crystal Drop Earrings ($120; maxandchloe.com) from Ben-Amun, and don't wash it off until after the honeymoon.
Glamourous Bride
If you've planned your wedding day as a chance to look, feel and be treated as royalty, you'll likely don a glamorous, princess-style gown as you saunter down the aisle. When a gauzy, strapless confection like the ones in Reem Acra's spring 2010 collection is on the menu, make sure your jewelry is as enchanting as the rest of your look. Try balancing ethereal, nature-inspired touches with glitzy jewels. ABS by Allen B. Schwartz fits the bill perfectly; we especially love their Twisted Crystal Necklace ($350; maxandchloe.com). Made of four intertwined strands of crystals, it's the perfect finishing touch to your look when paired with Chain Wrapped Stud Earrings ($40; maxandchloe.com), also by ABS.
Modern Bride
The modern bride seeks to be utterly elegant on her wedding day, and following through with clean-cut, streamlined jewelry will complete the look. The sophisticated designs in Douglas Hannant's spring 2010 collection demand nothing less than stylish perfection. Amrita Singh's Victorian Collection, a stunning assortment of silver and gold crystal-accented pieces, certainly fits the bill. We love the Victoria Necklace ($300; amritasingh.com), which straddles the line between classic and contemporary with stunning results. Pair with the Anne Earrings ($100; amritasingh.com) for an unparalleled level of cool sophistication.
