The right bridesmaid necklace is the one that works best with your wedding’s theme, while still respecting your bridesmaids’ tastes. It’s also important to consider the colour and neckline of their dresses.
For a more formal wedding theme, a pendant necklace is always a classic choice, especially when paired with a sweetheart neckline or strapless gown as the décolletage provides a blank canvas. Accessorize with a statement piece like a diamond pendant with matching baguettes or an elegant pearl drop necklace for something more understated.
The less is more approach is also popular, particularly when it comes to more casual or contemporary wedding themes. Use simple pendants and chain necklaces as subtle accent pieces, or layer them together to accentuate a V-neck silhouette, which creates a beautiful sense of balance.
Coloured gemstones can also be used to tie a look together, complementing a bridesmaid’s dress colour or flower bouquet. Match stunning emerald or peridot pendants with warm, earthy tones, rubies with red roses or amethyst gems with plum or magenta gowns.
A bridesmaid necklace is not only meant to be worn for a day, but treasured for a lifetime. For a bridesmaid, a necklace gift can be sentimental, thanking her for playing such a significant role while letting her know just how special she is to you.
