You’ve got your wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses, you’ve found your dream pair of designer wedding shoes… now’s time to source the best wedding jewellery.
I’m getting married in three month’s time, and I’m still yet to nail my accessories. I know, I’m cutting it fine. The good news is that I have a plethora of inspiration to browse, by way of runway trends and bridal fashion brands, plus a slew of experts at my Shopping Writer fingertips to turn to for advice.

Meet the expert:
“This season, simplicity takes centre stage. We’re seeing a return to elegant minimalism, pieces that enhance an outfit without stealing the spotlight. I’m especially drawn to barely-there chains, fine stacking rings, and an understated pearl earring. These pieces are designed to be collected over time, layered or worn alone, letting you create a look that feels effortlessly refined,” says Brittany.
New York Bridal Fashion Week wholeheartedly proved her point. Simple, freshwater studs adorned the ears of Alexandra Grecco’s models, and Francesca Miranda flipped delicate pearl chains to the reverse, letting them drape down the reverse of her backless slips instead.
As expected, Danielle Frankel, Marmar Halim and Sept took a modern approach with oversized, sculptural earrings that stood out as much as the gowns did. And I’m just as obsessed. “Jewellery becomes even more special when it tells a story,” Brittany says. “For brides, personalising your jewellery adds that perfect sentiment to your wedding day, creating pieces that reflect your journey and your future together.” And if you can’t go for something standout-ish at your own nuptials, then when can you?
That said, and without giving too much away, my dress is one that speaks for itself. I don’t want to go too OTT with my accessories so I’m looking to modern-but-dainty pearls, either via earrings, a necklace OR a bracelet (but probably not all three).
The earrings
Pearl drop earrings are a classic for brides whether you pinch your grandma’s for your ‘something borrowed’ or treat yourself to a new set. The two below are the styles I’m drawn to most RN. The LILY & ROO pair for the addition of a delicate chain, and the Completedworks style for the toi et moi-style cubic zirconia addition.
The bracelet
Fiancé, if you’re reading this, I would gladly accept either of these two bracelets as my wedding gift before we say ‘I do’. There’s something so timeless about a tennis bracelet, and they make the best heirloom gifts to pass down to future generations.
The necklace
Delicate, short chains with a sprinkle of sparkle are my favourite kinds of necklaces – particularly on brides. Depending on the neckline of your gown, they can lend a pretty focal point to otherwise open space. Astrid & Miyu’s new bridal collection hits the mark with the below lariat design. I’m obsessed.
The wedding band/eternity ring
One of the ‘big’ things people forget when planning a wedding? To buy their wedding bands. And, no, I don’t mean the performance sort. Whether you decide to go for a pavé-style eternity ring, or something more pared-back via yellow gold, white gold, rose gold or platinum, the important thing is that you remember to purchase one.
