Matching Your Bouquet to Your Wedding Dress

Not too long ago women chose their dress, then chose their jewelry, then chose their bouquet and that was that. Well, that’s no more because today’s brides are concerned about their entire look from head to toe and wrist to petal. Even though achieving that look requires more work than ever, don’t fret because we’re here to help.

Resist the Urge to Put White and Ivory Together

You will bring shame to brides everywhere if you even think about pairing white with ivory. Yes, your guests will notice. Yes, your groom will run in the opposite direction. Yes, your gaffe will go down in Internet history and yes, you won’t be able to leave your house for a month. Ok, that said, if you choose to wrap your bouquet in fabric, make sure it matches, otherwise you run the risk of offending the bridal gods and that is never good.

Either Complement or Match Your Wedding Dress

Now that you know what will happen if you put white with ivory, you must know the next step. You can either stay in the same color category as your dress or you can choose complementary colors. Don’t be afraid to pair black with white or pastels or jewel tones with your gown as long as the colors remain balanced. Pair warm tones (ivory) with other warm tones and cool tones (white) with other cool tones and you’re on your way to bridal dominance.

Don’t Forget the Jewelry

Fabrics and jewelry have tones and knowing what kind of tone your jewelry belongs to is imperative. Your hand is the intermediary between your dress and your bouquet, and as a result, you should pay attention to what kind of jewelry you wear to make sure it transitions easily from dress to hand to bouquet. Gold is the infinite warm toned jewelry and it looks amazing next to ivory or champagne-colored dresses whereas silver jewelry is stunning when combined with a white wedding dress. If you want to cheat a little bit, throw on a pair of pearls and call it a day, after all, pears are the quintessential bridal accessory and come in a range of hues to satisfy any tone.

Follow these tips and you’ll be the best accessorized bride on the planet. There will be no clashing of the bouquet with bracelets. The bridal gods will be pleased and you’ll be a stunning bride from aisle to reception.

Resin Jewelry – Making Fashion Fun Again

For years, many companies have instituted Casual Friday dress codes. But, that doesn’t mean that women want to forego their accessories. It does mean that wearing resin ladies jewelry is the preferred option for making fashion fun. Adding earrings with googly eyes staring out from smiling imp features in pink, blue or purple brings a cheerful welcome to the soberness of the workplace. Hinged cuffs of bright yellow with swirling water colors complements even the

Using resin for women’s jewelry has opened doors to unique styling options that gold and silver cannot provide. Women polled said that of all the pieces of jewelry that they would not do without, earrings won the day with bracelets coming in second. Resin earrings are available in hoops, dangles, beads and even dancing ballerinas. You don’t have to be the ballerina type to have fun with resin jewelry. Choose a narrow black bangle and add a yellow cuff for a bit of sophisticated sizzle. Wearing bracelets on both wrists is the latest fashion for spring and summer in 2013. Find pieces in a variety of sizes such as graduating bead necklaces with the larger beads off center.

During the fall and winter, women tend to get more serious about the jewelry choices that they make for everyday and evening wear. When spring is on the horizon, the desire to wear happier, lighter, more colorful rings, bracelets and necklaces becomes evident. Like snow flowers pushing up through the last of the winter blanket, resin jewelry begins to sprout on ear lobes and wrists of women from east to west. Streets in New York and Denver blossom with women donning the colors of hope invoking a spirit of fun again.
