The Best Jewelry Items for a Bride, According to a Stylist
When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Constance Wu, and Diane Kruger or writing a best-selling book, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.
After my recent engagement, I’ve been refocusing on all things wedding. While the dress is always a natural place to start, I think that jewelry should be just as much of a focus. Oftentimes, brides ask me to point them in the right direction when it comes to selecting the pieces they’ll wear down the aisle. What I tell them is the same advice I would follow myself. Go on to see and shop the two best jewelry items for a bride that are high on my list of wedding essentials.
KEEP IT CLASSIC
When in doubt, reach for the classics. Pieces like diamond huggie earrings and tennis bracelets never go out of style.
SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF YOUR HAIR
If you want to add something beyond traditional jewelry pieces, this is the perfect moment to add a beautiful hair clip.
Next up: These are the three "boring" fashion items every bride needs.
