We are hearing wedding bells ring in June, one of the popular months for loving couples tying the knots!

There’s no getting around it, with weddings come financial commitments. Regardless of size or destination, getting married almost always implies expense. Everything from your gown, to the flowers and catering, must all be factored into the equation. So, when there’s an opportunity to spend slightly less—without compromising on quality—it’s worth exploring further. Affordable bridal jewelry, an easy way to stay within budget while still looking stylish and polished.

When it comes to style, we’re all for breaking the so-called “rules.” But that doesn’t mean there aren’t still tried-and-true tips to help you look your best, including for your wedding day jewelry. So if you need a little guidance when it comes to accessorizing your gown, read on for more tips.

After months of searching, you’ve finally found your wedding dress. Now that one of the hardest parts of the big-day preparation is over, it’s time to start considering how to accessorize your bridal look with jewelry and other accessories. Bridal jewelry has a lot to do with the neckline of your gown. Whether you opted for a demure boat neck, classic sweetheart, or unexpected one-shoulder neckline, there are plenty of accessory options out there to elevate each specific look.

Don’t overdo it.

The first commandment for picking out your wedding jewelry: Don’t go overboard. No matter how tempting it is to load up on baubles and bling, you don’t want to risk letting your accessories outshine you. Keep “less is more” as your mantra and stick with a few key pieces rather than accessorizing every part of your body.

Match your jewelry to your dress.

Can’t decide between silver and gold jewelry? Let the color of your gown guide your choice.

If your gown is white: This bright hue looks prettiest with platinum or silver pieces.

If your gown is ivory: Gold jewelry will best enhance this creamy shade.

If your gown is champagne: Gold jewelry will complement the warm tones in this very light beige color. If you’re putting together an antique-inspired look, burnished silver with rhinestones also works well.

If your gown is blush: Try rose gold. The pink cast in the metal will coordinate with the soft pink of the dress.

Make sure your complete look feels cohesive. That means keeping your hairstyle, veil, shoes, and other accessories—in addition to your wedding dress—in mind when picking out jewelry.

Consider your dress’s neckline.

Your gown’s décolletage will play a role in framing your face. Help it do its job by selecting jewelry that pairs perfectly with it.

If your dress has a sweetheart or strapless neckline: To create height and direct all eyes to your smile, consider wearing a choker or shorter necklace. This style is making a comeback and looks timeless with this neckline. Another option: Skip the necklace and wear statement chandelier earrings instead. Pull your hair off your face and add a few fresh flowers, ’20s-inspired feather barrettes or another simple embellishment that works with your look. As your décolletage is the focal point, you’ll want your standout pieces there, but don’t hesitate to add a smaller bracelet, bangle or cocktail ring or long dangling earrings to balance out your look.

If your dress has a V-neck: This style is made for décolletage decoration. Opt for a choker or pendant, or try layering both if they’re delicate pieces. Pair the necklace with earrings, which could be small or dangling—whichever looks best with your hairstyle.

Match a pendant necklace with the width of your neckline’s “V,” or choose a smaller one for a narrow plunge and larger ones for wider Vs. And be careful not to select a necklace that is too long—it will compete with the neckline.”

If your dress has a halter or reverse halter: Focus your accessorizing on your hair by decorating it with pins, combs or vines. These can be sleek, bejeweled or floral, depending on the effect you want. Going for a retro vibe? Try a gorgeous embellished birdcage veil. If you need a little extra something, wear a bracelet or cocktail ring.

If you preferred off shoulder wedding dress, with a large space between the top of your dress and face, you’ll want to wear something to break it up. A choker with matching studs will do the trick. You can add sparkly drama to this neckline even if you decide to bypass a necklace. Opt for statement earrings with movement. A pretty jewelry option for this romantic neckline is pearls, plus, it’s a traditional choice for your nuptials. “A set of pearls is classic and timeless and can be the bride’s something borrowed or something new for the wedding day!”

If you opt for wedding dress that shows off one-side of your shoulders, It’s important to note that this neckline will be the focal point of your gown, that can skip a necklace. A necklace would not only get potentially tangled, but also look odd with the imbalance. Hence, choose a drop or post earring that won’t detract from your dress’ dramatic detail. Highlight the beauty of your of your one-shoulder neckline by opting for simple earrings, especially if your strap or sleeve has embellishments or other details

Don’t get overwhelmed.

If deciding on your jewelry seems more difficult than finding the gown, focus your search. Find one piece you absolutely adore and want to invest in, and wear that. Still in doubt? Simple pearl or diamond studs (costume or otherwise) are always classic. Just be sure you don’t buy them as part of a set. While jewelry suites used to be a go-to, modern brides avoid accessories that look too matchy-matchy.

Be yourself.

The most important thing about picking the perfect pieces for your wedding gown is they should be a reflection of you. If you’re not comfortable wearing big, chandelier earrings, stick to studs. Love the way you look in a lariat necklace? Go for it! If you’re happy in all your accessories, you’ll feel confident—and that’s the best accessory of all.
