When considering bridal hairstyles for your big day, you shouldn\u2019t just ensure your hair matches your dress but also that it works with the jewellery you\u2019re going to wear. Not only does this perfect your bridal look but it helps to make your jewellery choices even more striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Match Your Metals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re wearing a bridal hair accessory, such as a tiara or sparkly hair pins, you need to be sure that it doesn\u2019t clash with the metals in the rest of your jewellery. Try to match<\/strong> metals<\/strong><\/a> that you are wearing<\/strong> so that your overall look is sophisticated and polished. If you are wearing silver or platinum rings that work wonderfully with your ivory bridal gown, you might put your gorgeous look in jeopardy by flashing a bright gold hair accessory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is still room for creativity. Silver and platinum work together, and both look dazzling with diamonds, while the various types of gold look great together. Rose gold is often a safe choice as it can be a complimentary color to all the other metals, looking especially striking when teamed up with yellow gold and bringing warmth to platinum. If you have pearls in your jewellery, matching pearls in your hair accessory looks exquisite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose Flowers According to Your Jewellery<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wearing flowers in your hair is a bridal fashion trend<\/strong> this year. Large white flowers can be elegant while smaller colorful flowers add romance and whimsy to bridal hairstyles. Some great ideas include clipping small flowers or baby\u2019s breath into braids and plaits, or clasping a larger flower on the side of your head and wearing your hair in a sophisticated bun. Consider your jewellery before picking out flowers for maximum effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

White flowers look opulent when set against diamonds and silver, while yellow tones complement gold. Gemstones come to life if you\u2019re wearing colorful flowers. Try to stick to the same shades of color, though. If the gemstones<\/a> on your ring are rubies or sapphires, for instance, wear the same colors of flowers in your hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Show off Your Jewels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t want your hairstyle to get in the way of your beautiful jewellery making a statement, so consider wearing your hair over a shoulder in a side-swept style if you want to show off earrings and necklace statement pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to have your hair down instead of up, opt for having sections of your hair<\/a> in front pulled away from your face to display your jewellery while still enjoying a long style at the back. You could create plaits in front that are then pulled back around your hair or have pieces in front volumized and back-combed a la Penelope Cruz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Your Hair Color<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not just how you wear your hair but also your hair color that makes an impact. This should be matched to your jewellery so that it all works beautifully and makes you look radiant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
