Wedding jewellery

Choosing the perfect wedding jewellery is one of the most exciting steps in creating your bridal look. Your accessories do more than decorate your gown—they define your style, enhance your features, and bring your entire wedding aesthetic to life. With so many options available, from minimalist elegance to bold sparkle, creating a cohesive style can feel overwhelming. That’s why this guide brings you everything you need to know about earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and wedding hair accessories, all designed to elevate your confidence and beauty on your special day.

Today’s brides are embracing personal expression more than ever, blending traditional choices with modern styling that reflects their individuality. Whether you identify with the soft romance of pearls, the clean lines of contemporary metals, or the glamour of crystals, your wedding jewellery becomes a statement of who you are.

At Ishtar, we believe accessories are the soul of your bridal look. This ultimate accessories guide will help you choose pieces that harmonise beautifully with your dress, face shape, hairstyle, and overall bridal vision.

Modern styling

In the world of modern styling, brides are redefining what wedding elegance looks like. Instead of following strict rules, today’s approach focuses on blending comfort, authenticity, and creativity. This shift means wedding jewellery can be mixed and matched in ways that feel personal and fresh.

The key to modern styling is balance. If your gown is sleek and unembellished, you can elevate it with dramatic wedding jewellery—long earrings, cuff-style bracelets, or a statement tiara. If your dress features intricate beadwork or lace, you can complement it with subtle pieces to maintain harmony without overwhelming your silhouette.

Consider these modern bridal trends:

  • Sleek satin gowns with sculpted crystal earrings

  • Soft tulle dresses paired with pearl chokers or layered necklaces

  • Contemporary square-neck gowns with bold, geometric jewellery

  • Minimalist slip dresses featuring delicate chains and dainty bracelets

The modern bridal look allows you to switch seamlessly between ceremony elegance and reception sparkle. Brides often choose versatile wedding jewellery that can be restyled—swapping earrings after the ceremony, adding a belt before the reception, or changing from a tiara to a comb for an evening-ready appearance.

Wedding hair accesories

Your hairstyle is an essential part of your wedding look, and the right wedding hair accessories can elevate it from beautiful to unforgettable. Whether you wear your hair in soft waves, a voluminous bun, a braided crown, or a sleek chignon, the piece you choose adds texture, sparkle, and personality.

Wedding hair accessories include:

  • Hair combs

  • Pins

  • Vines

  • Headbands

  • Crowns

  • Tiaras

Each option interacts differently with your hairstyle and dress, making it important to choose a piece that enhances your entire bridal look—not just your hair.

Elevate Your Look with Ishtar

Your wedding day is all about showcasing your unique style. At Ishtar, we believe that choosing the right accessories doesn’t just complement your dress—it completes your bridal vision. We help brides express themselves with carefully curated pieces that harmonize with their gown and highlight their natural beauty. With the right combination of wedding jewellery and wedding hair accessories, you’ll shine brighter than ever as you walk down the aisle.

Earrings: Match Your Face Shape & Dress Cut

Earrings are one of the most visible pieces of wedding jewellery and should complement both your face shape and your wedding dress neckline.

For your face shape:

  • Oval faces: You can wear almost any style. Statement drops work beautifully with simple dresses.

  • Round faces: Choose longer earrings to elongate the face and create elegant vertical lines.

  • Square faces: Soft, rounded designs offset sharper angles—think oval shapes, circles, or crystal rounds.

  • Heart-shaped faces: Earrings that widen at the bottom help balance the narrower chin area.

For your neckline:

  • High necklines → simple studs or delicate drops

  • Strapless/off-shoulder → shoulder-grazing statement earrings

  • Boat neck / scoop neck → medium-length, balanced designs

Large earrings make an excellent focal point when your hairstyle is swept up, while dainty styles pair beautifully with loose, romantic waves.

Necklaces: Complement Your Dress Neckline

Your necklace is a central piece of wedding jewellery, creating harmony between your face and dress.

  • Sweetheart / Strapless: Shorter necklaces or chokers emphasize the décolletage.

  • V-neck: Pendants or Y-shapes follow the neckline’s direction for a cohesive look.

  • High necks / Halters: Skip the necklace and choose statement earrings instead.

  • Scoop / Boat necklines: Medium-length necklaces with gentle curves work best.

When in doubt, focus on proportions. The right necklace enhances your posture, flatters your neckline, and ties your style together effortlessly.

Bracelets & Rings: Subtle or Bold?

Bracelets and rings add refinement to your bridal style without overwhelming your look.

  • Bracelets are stunning with sleeveless or short-sleeved gowns.

    • Bold bracelets suit simple dresses

    • Delicate pieces work with detailed or embellished gowns

  • Rings can complement your engagement ring, but keep them minimal if your existing ring is already a statement.

Both are key elements of wedding jewellery, helping to bring sparkle to your hands during important moments—like exchanging vows or cutting the cake.

Statement vs. Delicate Jewelry: When to Choose What

The art of balancing wedding jewellery lies in choosing the right level of detail.

Statement pieces:

  • Transform simple gowns

  • Add sophistication and drama

  • Work well with minimalist dresses

Delicate pieces:

  • Pair beautifully with lace or bead-heavy gowns

  • Add soft sparkle without distraction

  • Create an elegant, timeless effect

A good rule: one statement piece at a time. If your earrings are bold, keep your necklace minimal. If your tiara is dramatic, opt for simple earrings.

Bridal tiara

A bridal tiara is the ultimate symbol of regal elegance. Whether you’re inspired by royal weddings or simply want to feel like a queen on your big day, a tiara provides height, drama, and unmatched sparkle.

When to wear a tiara:

  • With sleek updos that provide firm support

  • With voluminous styles that balance the tiara’s height

  • For classic, fairytale, or luxurious wedding themes

Avoid heavy tiaras for outdoor weddings with strong winds or high humidity. Lightweight designs or tiara-style headbands can offer the same aesthetic with better comfort.

Hair Accessories: Combs, Pins, or Tiaras?

Your hairstyle—and even the weather—plays a huge role in choosing the right wedding hair accessories.

Hair combs

  • Ideal for buns, chignons, or half-up styles

  • Offer secure hold in breezy conditions

  • Perfect for pearls, crystals, and floral accents

Hair pins

  • Best for scattered sparkle

  • Perfect for loose waves, braids, or romantic updos

  • Lightweight and ideal for warm-weather weddings

Tiaras

  • The boldest form of wedding hair accessories

  • Best with structured hairstyles

  • Perfect for royal, classic, or glamorous bridal themes

Choosing the right accessory keeps your style intact—and comfortable—all day long.

Decorative Belts & Custom Brooches: Add Life to Your Dress

If you're looking to personalize your gown, belts and brooches are transformative additions.

  • Belts define your waist and add sparkle or colour

  • Brooches enhance sashes, shoulders, or veils

  • They create a completely customized look, aligned with both traditional and modern bridal aesthetics

Choosing White Shoes That Fit Your Dress

Your shoes play a bigger role than many brides realize. Beyond comfort, they complete your bridal look and should feel in harmony with your dress and wedding jewellery. Classic white or ivory heels remain a timeless choice for brides, especially when matched carefully to the fabric and finish of the gown.

When selecting white heels:

  • Match materials for a seamless look (satin with satin, matte leather with crepe).

  • Choose a heel height you can comfortably walk, stand, and dance in all day.

  • Look for subtle embellishments—pearls, crystals, or metallic accents—that echo your wedding jewellery.

  • Always wear your shoes in advance to ensure comfort on the big day.

Adding a Touch of Colour

While white heels are a bridal classic, colourful heels are a beautiful and increasingly popular alternative. At Ishtar, we also offer a curated selection of colored heels designed not only for wedding guests, but for the mother of the bride, bridal party members, and even brides themselves who want to add a unique twist to a white dress.

Soft blush, Champagne, Gold, Silver, Rose gold, or bold jewel tones can:

  • Add personality and individuality to a bridal look

  • Create a striking contrast beneath a classic white gown

  • Tie into your wedding palette or floral accents

  • Transition effortlessly from ceremony to celebration

For brides embracing modern styling, a pop of colour in your heels is a subtle yet impactful way to express your style without overpowering your dress or wedding jewellery. Colourful heels also make a thoughtful choice for mothers of the bride or groom and wedding guests seeking elegance with character.

Whether you choose timeless white or a statement shade, the right heels should feel like an extension of your personal style—confident, comfortable, and unforgettable.
