Nice Day for a White Wedding

It's June and that means wedding season is upon us! For many women this is the most important day of their lives and they want everything to be perfect. From the dress to the flowers to the perfect hairstyle, many brides spend a lot of time choosing just the right ones to make their wedding something they will never forget. What about the jewelry? You could go for the traditional pearl necklace which symbolized purity and innocence, but that may be too old fashioned for some brides. The modern bride may be looking for something a little more edgy.
I decided to create some wedding necklaces for the many different kinds of brides. My first necklace is a little more traditional. It is a cream faux pearl necklace with graduated pearl sizes with the largest center pearl being 12mm and gradually decreasing in size to 5mm. The pearls are separated by a 4mm golden amber crystal to give the necklace a little pop of color.
The second design is a little more modern. I took 5mm and 7mm pearls and cascaded then down one side of a silver plated chain. The design catches the eye and is suited to a woman that likes to take chances and be adventurous.

The next two designs are more romantic. They are reminiscent of a Gothic or Victorian era necklace. If you choose to wear one of these designs, you really want to stand out and grab people's attention.

There is another necklace that is similar, but it also has a pop of color. This necklace could be your "something blue" that you would wear traditionally. The necklace is also in the Gothic/Victorian style an created with white faux pearls and blue crystals.
My next design is a little different. It is made of white lace in a butterfly pattern. I thought it needed a little pop of color so I added a pink crystal and a light pink glass bead. It is meant to be worn as a choker, so I used ribbon clamps to attach a small clasp and adjustable chain. Of course the pink can be switched out to match the color that the bride chooses for her wedding party too.

My last design is a combination of romantic and modern. I used white faux pearls to create a choker piece with an interesting design. To give it a little modern edge, long graduated dangling pearl chains are attached to the collar.



There are as many designs of wedding neckwear as there are brides. Each bride should look and feel beautiful on her special day.
