With spring settling in we are getting the first flurry of glowing brides-to-be popping in looking for those perfect finishing touches. Wedding gowns can be a tricky thing to pair something with. Often with lots of beading, sequins and layers you don't want to over do it. Equally they usually need something to complete the perfect look or you will look a bit unfinished. A simple dress needs something to draw attention, add some detail and soften.
So to give you a place to start here are some ideas of jewellery to complement and complete many of the more popular dress styles.
Simple: a simple clean uncluttered gown is becoming one of the most popular choices for the modern bride. An unfussy gown can look elegant, stylish and timeless but it needs jewellery as a finishing touch to stop it becoming too plain austere and severe. With a very plain dress you can get away with more striking bold jewellery, one of my favourite pieces would be the Gigi set below:

Traditional: Pearls are always the thing to go with a traditional dress, they brighten up the complexion and flatter all skin tones. You can go for a simple and elegant strand or be a bit more adventurous and opt for some really stunning earrings or a more elaborate necklace.

Modern: a very modern dress often calls for a modern interesting piece of jewellery, I would recommend a Jacqui pendant as its an interesting contemporary take on traditional pearls.

Sparkle: Lots of the new dresses at the moment are very heavy on beautiful embellishment and beading. With a dress that already has a bit of sparkle you need jewellery that is light and simple yet substantial enough to hold its own against the dress. That's why the Deborah faux diamond pendant is an excellent choice, and with the simple shape it wont compete with the detail but there is enough of a stone to catch the light beautifully and make quite a statement.

Colour: Lots of gowns will have a flash of colour so something to pick up on this can be a really lovely way to go. The Carnival Iris pendant comes in a selection of different stone colours so there must be one to match your dress.

Simple, Uncluttered Lovely: There are some dresses that call for simple jewellery, something unfussy, delicate just to sit there and let you shine. Here are some pieces that will let you do just that:
