What earrings to wear to a wedding?

With so much choice it's hard to decide the best style to wear. We've got a bit of guidance for you. First, consider your dress, your hair, and your other jewellery. For updos, for instance, wedding drop earrings can look fab but might get lost if your hair is down.

So, for hair-up styles, drops, dangles, and hoops can work. Studs can also work, especially statement studs, but even plain diamond studs will look really elegant on your big day. Our favourite for bridal jewellery is pearl drop earrings or huggies.

If you've got your hair down, studs and ear climbers can add hidden glamour to the look. Bridal earrings don't have to be subtle though, you can choose statement earrings too, even if your hair is down.

Should a bride wear earrings?

A bride should wear whatever she wants and consider her personal style over what other people say is best! Bridal earrings can be so varied in style too that you're bound to find the right ones for your big day.

We'd always suggest trying to match your earrings with your wedding dress. This might mean finding similar motifs. But it could also be just making sure you're not wearing a colour that clashes with the rest of the bridal party. Choose what you feel comfortable in.

If you're normally a sterling silver wearer, then it's always a good idea to stick with this colour. We do like rose gold for weddings because it's feminine and romantic, but make sure you really love it. If you're too busy noticing the rose or yellow gold earrings you chose to wear, you might be disappointed, and won’t be able to look back happily on your day.

What jewellery does a bride wear on her wedding day?

Brides can wear anything they want really. We offer a wide selection of bridal earrings that cover statement earrings and more subtle pieces. We've also got necklaces and bracelets. For those with additional piercings, we have cartilage and helix earrings too.

Some brides might opt for body jewellery, like waist chains or anklets, if these suit the dress style. At the end of the day, your wedding is the perfect spot to celebrate personal style, so as a bride, you can wear any jewellery you want!!

Can I wear hoop earrings if I'm a wedding guest?

Wedding guests can definitely wear hoop earrings. For a while, hoops had a bad rep, but we think they can look great, even at formal events. With so much choice too, you'll find the right ones.

Smaller hoops and huggies can be a great gentle touch to your outfit. We have some with inlays of crystals and others with dangle charms. Both would look fab with an updo for the subtle approach. If you're more about making a statement, then opt for hoops with a bigger circumference, or go chunky! Chunky hoops are so on-trend right now.

Do remember that while being a wedding guest is fun, you shouldn't be trying to steal any attention from the bride and groom! So, if you're hoops will pull focus, maybe leave them behind!

Is pearl or diamond earrings better for a wedding?

Both pearl wedding earrings and diamond wedding earrings are wedding okay! This includes the bride and any of the guests. It's also meant for the bridal party too. For the bride particularly, both are an investment that would make the day special.

If you're looking to choose one or the other, consider your wedding dress and the overall look. both are sophisticated and can come in lots of styles. For instance, you can get pearl studs for a classic look but also huggies with pearl drops for something a bit different.

Classic diamond studs are a fantastic investment that can be worn for years after the wedding. And with the memories attached, you'll love wearing them. On the other hand, diamond drop earrings might add the sparkle you need on your big day!

Can bridesmaids wear earrings?

Of course, they can. Bridesmaids can wear earrings that match the colours and style of the dress for a cohesive look amongst the bridal party. We'd suggest avoiding statement earrings because you don't want people's attention on them and not the bride!

Younger bridesmaids would often wear stud earrings, and motifs like butterflies or flowers are perfect for this role. Older bridesmaids might wear drop earrings that all match one another.

Should the bride match her earrings to the bridesmaids?

This is an interesting question. There's no rule that the bride should match, so if you don't want to then don't! However, if you're going for a specific look, it might work best to all match. A really good way of matching bridal earrings to the rest of the bridal party is by having bridesmaids wear smaller or more subtle versions of the bride. That way, the bride is still the focus.

Can I wear vintage earrings on my wedding?

Vintage wedding earrings are a lovely idea for a wedding. If you're going for a vintage feel overall, then you should look out for the perfect pair in thrift stores and antique shops. Make sure to find a pair that is in good condition and matches the era you want.

Another reason we love vintage styles for weddings is that they can be something borrowed or old. If you've got heirloom earrings from a relative, they're the perfect addition as your something old.

Are big earrings okay to wear as a bride?

Absolutely they are. Wedding chandelier earrings with an updo can offer a certain glamour for the bride. We'd usually choose this style with a lower neckline, but it can also look very dramatic with a high-neck wedding dress.

Wedding hoop earrings are another style people might choose to avoid, but we think a pair of white gold huggies or inlaid hoops can add style and glamour to your look! You definitely don't need to be subtle on your wedding day if you don't want to be.

Should I wear gold or silver earrings on my wedding day?

The choice between gold wedding earrings and silver wedding earrings should be easy. If you're a silver wearer usually, then we suggest sticking with what you know. Most people wear the colour they do because they like it, it suits them, and it is part of their personal style. So, stay true to yourself and choose the one you wear the most.

At the end of the day, white dresses go well with both silver and gold, and your engagement ring is also likely to be in the colour you wear the most!
