Pearls and wedding dresses are a match made in Heaven – or at least this is what ancient Greeks thought. Our ancestors believed that wearing pearls on your wedding day will bring good fortune, loyalty, prosperity, stability, and we tend to believe them. After all, what other natural gems look more delicate, more feminine, more elegant and shining than veritable pearls?

Today we will talk about five different methods to accessorize pearl jewelry with your wedding dress, leaning you in on a secret: no matter what style, type, and color of the dress you choose, you will undoubtedly find pearl jewelry that matches it and enhances your beauty. Also, remember that not all pearls are white and that they are so incredibly versatile, you can wear them any way you like!

Are you ready for a glamorous “wedding of the year” look?

1. A Multi-Strand Pearl Necklace for a Flowy Boho Dress

Flowy boho wedding dresses in simple, yet feminine cuts, work best with similar flowy, loose, deconstructed pearl necklaces.

When you go out to buy a real pearl necklace for your upcoming wedding, you should look for a multiple-strand one. Such a deconstructed natural pearl necklace features natural pearls in various sizes and shapes, set in a delicate design that creates the illusion that the pearls float around your neck. If you want a bit of glamorous shine for your boho look, pick a baroque necklace with colored gems inserted here and there: pink, champagne, or gold.

Another tip, when you match the pearls’ white with the dress’s white, would be to make sure the nuances match. Go ivory for ivory and crisp white for crisp white to avoid any nuance clash between the dress and the jewelry.

Moreover, for such a fairytale-like boho bridal attire, consider small diamonds as well (the earrings or the wedding ring) to add the exact amount of shiny glam your look needs to make the difference between a rustic wedding and a boho one.

2. A Pearl Feathery Hairpiece for a Retro Wedding

We love retro wedding themes and vintage wedding dresses, as it is already obvious for everyone, so we will, of course, favor all the pearl accessories that can complete and compliment a retro-style bridal outfit.

Pearls and feathers have something surreal to them when they blend in the same bridal accessory. Call it the Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, call it the Great Gatsby Glam, or the Tune of the Sixties – it does not matter. Such a feather-and-pearls headpiece (with or without a veil) is something to die for if you plan a retro wedding party with a retro wedding dress.

3. The Illusion Bridal Set with Diamonds for the Glam Wedding

You want to look like a queen on your wedding day, and this is precisely what happens when you pick an illusion bridal set. The “illusion” is a new design style in pearl jewelry these days that makes pearls look like they are loose against your skin.

A blend of white pearls and diamonds in a designer’s necklace around your beautiful neck is probably the most fabulous thing people saw since Princess Diana’s 11-strand ruby pearl necklace.

An illusion-style bridal pearl set is an excellent choice for a fabulous dress and hairdo. First of all, if the gown is strapless, the illusion becomes flawless.

Secondly, if you intend to wear your long hair in a complicated updo, get your hands on the matching illusion pearl and diamond earrings for an unforgettable effect.

The diamond pins in your hair will complete the look, and you will need no other accessories, because the pearls will steal the show.

4. The Oversized Glam Earrings for the No-Nonsense Bride

Some wedding dresses come with a sweet mix of modern and retro for women who love straight and straightforward cuts, soft lines, and no bridal pizzazz whatsoever. However, such a dress can look rather simple if you do not pump up the volume with some fantastic pearl jewelry.

If you were worried about the newer pearl earrings designs, do not be. They are not all flowery and girly, going against your sweet tomboy attitude. In other words, you are free to pick a white dress looking like a business suit as long as you add the wedding glam in the shape of postmodern, chunky, and fabulous pearl earrings.

You cannot go wrong with some designers’ creations, as they mix pearls, metals, and beads in unique shapes and colors. And, because we know you are the type of practical, no-nonsense girl, rest assured: your bridal earrings will make exquisite jewelry for anything casual, formal, or glamorous you will wear from this point on.

5. The Massive Statement Pearl Necklace of the Postmodern Bride

Did we mention that pearls do not come only in shades of white and ivory? We did. Let us put this example to good work. Some bridal pearl necklaces have nothing of the discrete feminine suppleness of your mother’s pearl strand. Oh, no!

Some new designs feature chunky oversized pearls (South Sea and Freshwater are the sizeable ones) in a multitude of glamorous and statement-like colors: white, South Sea golden and South Sea silver pearls, all in the company of chunky ghetto golden or silver chains.

For such an outstanding piece, you only need a strapless wedding dress and an updo. Leave everything else to the necklace, as it will make you shine bright like a movie star on her way to getting the Oscar statue.

Such a piece – being massive and flashy – does not need further styling or adorning. You can wear your wedding band and call it THE DAY.

Conclusion

The moment you get your hands on natural pearl jewellery, the world is your oyster. You can comfortably wear some pearl pieces with casual, business, or street-smart outfits for the rest of your life without the pearls looking boring or outdated for a second! Remember that pearls are making a huge comeback and all you need is a bridal piece or set to build your look around them.
