The Season for Weddings

Mother’s Day is over and we’re entering the wedding season. Unique jewelry plays an important part in the look that brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride and groom, and wedding guests strive to achieve. Here are some considerations and suggestions for making that special day even more memorable. We’ve added some interesting tidbits about wedding lore.

The Bride

Did you know that although white wedding gowns are traditional in the west that has not always been the case and, even today, is not the case in some traditions? Queen Victoria popularized white for wedding gowns when she chose her wedding attire in that color. Later, Christian churches attached the aura of purity to the white dress.

Your wedding day is so special and you want your memories to be warm and wonderful. You have spent a lot of time – and money – to select just the right wedding gown, hat, veil, shoes and even special undergarments.

These three necklaces with coordinating earrings were created with brides in mind:

Bridesmaids

Bridal attendants are usually members of the family or close friends. Long ago a bride’s friends wore outfits identical to the bride to confuse the evil spirits who might threaten her happiness. Although we no longer believe this, the tradition of bridal attendants wearing identical outfits has continued. Often the maid/matron of honor wears the same style as the other attendants, but in a different color.

Sometimes brides ask their bridesmaids to wear their own favorite outfit so long as it is festive enough for a wedding. The outfits are unified with similar flowers and jewelry.

Mother of the Bride or Groom

Today’s mother of the bride or groom does not fit a particular pattern. Some women wear long dresses with jackets to cover their arms. Others wear elegant pants suits in non-traditional colors. A mother of the groom that we know wore a black silk pants suit with contrasting satin lapels. It suited her so well and was stunning. There are not as many rules these days for mothers, so they can let their personalities and personal tastes determine their choices for the wedding.

Wedding guests

Depending on the time of day and location the ceremony, guests dress in a broad range of styles. Outdoor weddings are usually casual, while evening weddings in a hotel or restaurant are more formal. Friends of the bride or groom want to honor them by dressing appropriately and it’s a wonderful opportunity to dress up.
