Summer Wedding Jewelry Style

Summer is the season for weddings galore, and you're sure to want to look your best for the big event. If you plan on attending a summer wedding in the upcoming months, then read on for more information on the hottest trends of the season and the most appropriate styles for each type of celebration.

For beach weddings – If the affair is a destination wedding, or simply one that is set on the backdrop of local sand and surf, then remember that less is more, in terms of your outfit and complimentary jewelry. You can still incorporate color into your look by adding simple jewelry that follows the vibe of the season. Consider a pair of elegant coral and turquoise drop earrings in a gold setting. Or, add bright red multi-strand beaded necklaces to dress up neutral ensembles.Summer Wedding Jewelry StyleFor formal weddings – Even though it's summer, formal weddings are a great opportunity to pile on ornate pieces of jewelry that are real attention grabbers. A lavish accessory such as a bejeweled floral brooch or pendant necklace can take a simple LBD from boring to bravo. Add color in the form of a pair of bright and bejeweled chunky earrings in yellow gold.

For church weddings – When choosing appropriate accessories for a church ceremony, tasteful is most certainly the goal. This doesn't mean that you still can't have some fun with your jewelry. For example, a long multi-strand pearl and metal chain link necklace is not only elegant, but also modern and chic. Add a matching cocktail ring, and you'll be good to go.

For outdoor weddings – Enjoy the gorgeous warm weather of the season with a picture perfect wedding outfit. Compliment light and airy sundresses with armfuls of bangle bracelets. Try textured or hammered metal and don’t be afraid to mix and match.
