If Grace Kelly had not worn those stunning earrings for her wedding to Prince Rainier of Monaco, or if Elizabeth Taylor had not donned that pearl necklace when she tied the knot with actor Michael Wilding, both iconic brides may not have stood out as much.
A special piece of jewellery, at its most refined, adds a touch of magic to a bride's overall look, making the wedding more like a fairy tale.
From earrings to a tiara to a necklace, jewellery can transform brides, even if it is just for one day.
Benjamin Lange, general manager of Wellendorff for Asia, says earrings can accentuate facial features. He advises brides to be aware of what works for the shape of their face.
'Brides with an oval-shaped face can basically wear any type of earrings as long as they are proportionate to the face. Large stud earrings might not be suitable for brides with a round face, but they can complement those with a rectangular-shaped face. Hoop earrings are classic and tend to fit most face shapes,' he says.
Lange says the earrings the bride chooses to wear on her big day are photographed just as much, or perhaps even more than her wedding ring. 'A pair of timeless, elegant and exquisite earrings is essential on your wedding day, creating valuable memories which would never be forgotten,' says Lange, who points out that earrings should be compatible with the wedding dress and hair style.
