Highest-Paid Actresses 2011

They are as traditional as the white wedding dress and right now, pearls are a big bridal trend.  Pearl wedding jewelry symbolizes love and purity making them a perfect choice for brides, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for traditional styles.
Pearl jewelry is everywhere at the moment as vintage is a key look and you will find designs ranging from pure and simple to glamorous and bespoke.  Designs come in silver and gold and mixed with other stones such as diamontes.  However when it comes to choosing pearl wedding jewelry you should choose styles which complement your dress to get the maximum impact.
Here are a few styling tips to help you pick the right pearl jewelry for your special day:
If your dress is off the shoulder in style then choose a pearl choker.  Chokers are traditionally anything from one to three strands and which sit close to the neck, whilst modern designs can have anything up to sixty strands of ‘floating’ pearls which creates a striking and luxurious look.
If your wedding dress is strapless or has a plunging neckline then choose a collar style necklace.  This is a more traditional Victorian style and consists of three or more strands of pearls which fit snugly around the throat.
If your dress is strapless choose a Princess style of pearl necklace which sits below the hollow of the neck and usually will have pendant.  This style can also suit any bridal style.
If your dress has a low neckline go for a Matinee style which is longer than the Princess, usually sitting just about the bust line at the top of the dress.  This style looks lovely when worn with a bateau, jewel or low neckline which has a lace or sheer fabric inset which covers the de colletage area.
Pearl wedding jewelry is easy to source and many retailers stock different designs or offer bespoke services where you can choose a custom made design.  Of course, for many brides their pearl jewelry is handed down to them by someone in the family.  This can create something of a dilemma if the jewelry does not suit you.  Consider looking a creative and skilled jeweller who could turn it into something more suited to you, whether that means restringing a necklace, turning a pendant into a brooch or creating a pretty bracelet, is up to you – just check with whoever gave it to you first that they are ok with this!
