You've picked the perfect dress for your wedding, but you still need some accessories to complete the look. Most dresses would accommodate bridal necklaces, but the tricky part is knowing how to choose them. Do you know that you can't simply put on just any necklaces because it might not be suitable to your dress or its neckline? This time, we'll be showing you the different types of bridal necklaces that you can match your lovely bridal dress. Take notes, ladies!
Lariat necklaces are usually very long; sometimes, long enough to wrap around your neck two or more times. If you're looking to jazz up your look, this is the necklace to go with. It is very versatile and accommodates nearly every neckline there is. The Love Eye Lariat Necklace from Pianegonda features four faceted stones from teardrop setting. The four stones are of different color and create a very beautiful semblance with each other. This kind of lariat necklaces would be suitable for dresses with strapless, sweetheart, halter, off-shoulder, V-neck or low back necklines. However, if the halter is high or comes near to the hollow of the throat, it would be best to go without necklaces. Instead, wear statement earrings.

If your dress has these necklines: scoop, square, off-shoulder, bateau, jewel, strapless, or sweetheart, then you can also consider wearing princess necklaces. What are they? It is a very common style of necklace and has an easy, rounded shape and usually made to rest over your collarbone. Try one of these black diamond princess necklaces, like the 18K White Gold Princess Cut Diamond Pendant. Suspended from the 18K white gold cable link chain is an 18K white gold bail, where a near colorless diamond is secured. This sparkling jewel will undoubtedly bright up your wedding. Match it up a pair of diamond stud earrings and everything will be just perfect.
On another hand, dresses with wide neckline such as scoop, square, off-shoulder, strapless, low back or sweetheart necklines offer an advantage where you can decorate your neck and shoulder with statement designer necklaces. As the name suggests, these necklaces makes a loud statement and can transform a dull outfit into an interesting one. The Crystal Rock Necklace from J. Crew for instance, is loud statement piece, assembled completely by hand with oversized stones. The (pinkish or nude colored) stones are wound together by copper and gold plated chain. Would it clash with your bridal dress? Only if the dress is embellished with other kind of stones, in which case match your necklaces to them.
Calm down if you've gotten yourself confused with all these 'rules' and what-nots. It's not the end of the world, but if you think this all too much, then go for the classic vintage pearl necklaces.
