How to Choose Wedding Jewelry for the Bride and a Watch for the Groom?

Festive jewelry and watches complete the bridal couple's important day outfits. Here are our tips for choosing the bride's jewelry, the groom's accessories, and the dower .

Wedding jewelry for the bride

There are two ways to choose a bridal style: start planning with jewelry or a dress. A successful choice combines the bride's preferences, festivity and the balance of the jewelry with the party outfit.

Traditionally, we are used to seeing festive, pale pearls or bright diamond jewelry as bridal jewelry, but a brave bride can bring out her personality with unusual choices if she wants to. According to the label, the most important thing is that the jewelry breathes the dignity the day deserves. You can choose the color of the precious metals according to your preference.

If jewelry is the cornerstone of the bride's style, nothing prevents you from choosing jewelry before the outfit. Then you should let your feeling and preference guide your choice. Have you perhaps seen a festive jewelry set that you have fallen in love with forever? Are there festive pieces of heirloom jewelry that you want to wear on an important day?

If you know the suit, you should start the selection by thinking about what jewelry is suitable to wear with the dress. Does the top of the dress allow you to wear a pendant or necklace, or is it enough to complete the outfit with earrings and maybe a bracelet?

When you know what you're going to get, i.e. the whole jewelry set or even just earrings, you should start thinking about the jewelry through the style of the dress. Minimalist pearl jewelry completes the abundant and decorative bridal style. Sometimes you can bring contrast to a simple dress or trouser suit with flashy jewelry. If the earrings are the only piece of jewelry in the outfit, they can easily be a little more showy.

The jewelry of the Swarovski brand, known for its crystals, is popular with brides, as the brand ensures spectacular and high-quality jewelry at a price that won't break the budget. The brand also offers festive jewelry sets suitable for bridesmaids.

Our recommendation for the bride:

Groom's watch

The future husband's style is completed by a high-quality, elegant watch and festive cufflinks.

If the groom wears a suit, a suit watch is suitable for the solemn occasion. There is no single definition of an orthodox dress watch, but broadly it refers to an elegant watch with a simple dial plate and leather strap. A watch with a metal bracelet with a simple watch dial also works well with the suit. A timeless design is one of the most important features of a dress watch. Sporty watches or, for example, watches equipped with a chronograph function are not the most suitable option for festive occasions.

It is easy to find a dress watch that matches your preferences, because there is a lot to choose from. In our opinion, when choosing a dress watch, we recommend taking into account that the leather and metal colors of the watch are uniform throughout the outfit. Despite the festivity, the dress watch does not have to cost tremendously. More important than the price tag is that the watch externally meets the requirements of a value watch.

According to the label, the watch should not be worn with a tailcoat or smock. If you want to use the watch with them, a pocket watch is the most recommended choice. However, a subtle dress watch can nowadays be an acceptable option if well thought out.

The shirt of the suit should be finished with festive cufflinks. With tuxedos and tailcoats, try to choose cufflinks that match the buttons on the shirt.

What for tomorrow?

Wedding traditions include the morning gift, which refers to the gift the husband gives his wife the morning after the wedding day. The roots of the morning gift go back to a time when women did not have a stable livelihood. Then the purpose of the gift was to secure the wife's future in case something happened to the husband.

Today, the morning gift is mostly a symbolic gesture to celebrate an important milestone. On this day, many women also give their men a present. Typical morning gifts are diamonds, jewelry and watches. Especially among young couples, it is a trend that when the budget is tight, you can buy wedding jewelry or a watch for your spouse as a present - which of course are already given on the wedding day.
