Bridal Jewelry
For 2014, many designers previewed bridal gowns
bejeweled with sequins or metallic thread. To accent the enduring Gatsby trend, jewelry can go a
little more alternative – think hand jewelry,
"backlaces" and necklaces worn as headbands.
And as color becomes more and more integrated
into an on-trend bridal look, jewel tones in a
statement necklace or earrings are the perfect
complement to a more conventional ivory dress.

For those who prefer the traditional route, pearls
continue to be highlighted in the editorial pages,
from delicate freshwater and seed designs to headturning baroque styles.
A personal favorite would be to integrate opal, a
stone that has recently been a major feature for
many of the most celebrated jewelry designers.
Rainbow hues from Australian to Mexican varieties will provide something blue, and there is
something magical about opals that just seem fitting for a fairytale, epic event.
Wedding Party Gifts
For the ladies, pearl stud earrings will be appreciated by both uptown and downtown girlfriends
– timeless chic but also very cool when worn sideby-side in one ear for the multiple-pierced. Another option would be delicate pendants or chain
bracelets that feature a single motif or charm that
can often be engraved for that extra-personalized
touch.
As for the groomsmen, tiepins and bars are making a comeback. The finishing touch to an impeccable suit or even a more casual look, it's an accessory every well put-together guy should own, so
why not help your friends start their own collection? The same goes for cufflinks, more traditional as a gift but still so relevant and available in
styles from funky to elegant.
