Angela, from Gown and Glory, is sharing what to look for when choosing your bridal jewelry.
1) Pick something that your are comfortable in. If you are an earrings person, wear big sparkly chandelier earrings and a bracelet, if you like studs, wear subdued studs with a necklace. If you like to make a statement, wear a big statement necklace. It's all about your own style, and accessories are a way for you to make your gown look even more personalized.
2) The shade of your dress is critical to the type of metal that should be in your wedding accessories.
If you are wearing a bright white gown (also known as diamond white), pearls, crystal and platinum will enhance the gowns shade.
If you are wearing a slightly off white gown you can wear gold, silver, and rose gold. Rose gold is the new trendy "it" metal, and goes especially well with a colour scheme that has pink or black in it. This shade also looks amazing with pearls, but be sure to maintain the off white colour in your pearl selection as well.
If you are wearing an ivory colour dress (a very light cream colour), wear gold, bronze or pewter jewelry and cream coloured pearls.
This is why many brides choose to have their jewelry custom made by a company such as Beading Buds, because then the necklace will be made in the colour metal and shade of pearls that best complement and enhance the detail of the dress.

3) Neckline of the dress. Pick jewelry that goes with the style and neckline of the dress. Make sure the necklace is the correct length to visually fill the space above the neckline.
If you are wearing a halter dress, wear a bracelet and earrings instead of a necklace perhaps, especially if there is a lot of beaded or embroidered detail already in the dress. You can also wear a hairband, tiara or fascinator if you feel like you need to add more sparkle.
For a strapless dress you have a couple of options depending on the simplistic or extravagant look you're going for; you can wear a statement necklace with small earrings, or statement chandelier earrings and a bracelet, or a simple necklace, bracelet and earring set. This can be as simple or extravagant as you choose, based on the style of your dress...and the vibrancy of your own personality.
If you are wearing a v-neck dress, wear a statement necklace with a large crystal or pearl pendant, to fill up the space and draw attention to the neckline.

4) Pick your dress first and then the jewelry. It is much easier to match the jewelry to the dress, especially if you have it custom made.
5) Make sure to consider all the specific details in the dress. This can help set the tone and style of the jewelry.
