Modern pearl bridal accessories (that don’t feel traditional)

Dareth Colburn pearl bridal earrings

It’s no secret that pearls are trending for bridal, but there are so many ways to wear them! There, of course, are the timeless classics like your grandma’s pearl studs and strands that will never go out of style, but babe, there is so much more than the basics. We rounded up a few of our pieces from one of our go-tos for bridal jewelry, Dareth Colburn. Which style speaks to you?

for the botanical bride

There’s no question about it, you’re getting married outside, be it in a garden, on a beach, or on a mountaintop. To you, no chapel or ballroom can touch the beauty of Mother Nature—and we get it. You want your bridal look to be soft and organic. With leaves and crawling vines, these pieces take inspiration from nature. They’re the epitome of effortlessly chic.

for the modern bride

You never miss a mani, you pride yourself on your daily fits, and for your wedding, you’re definitely going for the “it” girl aesthetic. You need accessories that feel luxe but don’t look like you’re trying too hard. Something that makes a statement rather than what’s expected. This cool geometrical collection is just the thing! The best part? They make two different sizes!!! What’s more extra than wearing the petite, elegant version for the ceremony, then switching to the fun big sister set for the reception to go with your second look (let’s be real, YOU have a second look)?

for the princess bride

Yay!!! You’re getting married, and you’ve been dreaming of this day since you were a little girl! And you are not going to miss the opportunity to dress for the occasion. When it comes to fashion, you look to the royals for inspo, and why shouldn’t you? You’re a queen, babe, so don’t be afraid to accessorize like one. Seriously, what other occasion are you going to have to wear a crown? Now the question is, which one? Oh, and don’t forget the veil!

Bridal Accessory Checklist

Speaking of veils, there are other bridal must-haves that may not be on your radar. Don’t worry, that’s why you have us! Here are all the accessories you should consider for your bridal ensemble.

earrings

Earrings must, especially if you plan on an updo. These beauties catch the light and elongate the neck.

necklace

If your gown has a low neckline or is strapless, a necklace is the perfect way to add a little sparkle. P.S.: These also make the perfect Thank You gift for your bridesmaids!

bracelets

This is probably the most overlooked accessory, but trust us when we say it will be the most photographed! Think of the photos you see right here on the blog: hands holding bouquets, holding champagne glasses—so many photo ops!
