A wedding is a bright event in a girl's life. Her heart stops at the knowledge that she is the bride! The embodiment of grace, sophistication and tenderness! An angel of pure beauty in a magnificent dress, airy veil and glass shoes!
But besides clothes, elegant little things are important in a wedding look, which will emphasize individuality and will not allow you to merge with the crowd of other brides waiting in line for marriage.
Earrings, handbags, necklaces and tiaras... There is room for fantasy here, because you can afford the brightest and most luxurious jewelry, including real crowns, for a wedding. Although sometimes a wedding brooch can complete the look much better. Therefore, today we will try to choose a wedding brooch for the bride.
When the first brooch appeared is difficult to figure out. The brooch served as an adornment for women and men in different eras. French ladies of the 19th century pinned a small brooch on the collar of a dress or in the chest area, and fastened handbags with a large brooch. And then the brooch for some time lost its relevance and began to be considered an adornment for grandmothers.
Now brooch is back in fashion. We can see this jewelry in fashion collections and, of course, in wedding photographs, where the brooch successfully complements the image of the bride.
How to choose a brooch for a bride
Choosing a wedding brooch requires a careful approach and certainly good taste. After all, the decoration should be in harmony with the image of the bride, dress, face, hairstyle, and even the age and season chosen for the wedding.
The style, material, size, plot, location and technique of the bride's brooch are the creative tasks to be solved when choosing jewelry:
- Modern or classic? Retro or high-tech?
- Storyline - floristry (bugs, spiders, leaves and flowers)? Or is it an abstraction?
- Precious metal or satin?
- Natural stones or their imitation?
- Pinning a brooch on a dress or decorating a hairstyle?
- A wedding bouquet of brooches in the hands of the bride - an excess or an exclusive composition?
It is important to imagine and think through all the details of the image of the bride. What will be the dress, shoes and other accessories. Then it will become clear what style and size the brooch will need.
Then you need to determine the most important element that should perfectly match with the wedding brooch. Better if it's an engagement ring.
Gold and platinum brooches are a sign of luxury, they are good for young women. But if the brooch is miniature and elegant, the noble metal will emphasize the dignity of the young bride.
When choosing a brooch with precious stones, you need to consider the decor of the wedding dress. Whether your dress will be decorated with pearls, beads or rhinestones, based on this, we choose a brooch so that it matches and at the same time does not merge with the decor of the dress.
It is not necessary to choose diamonds, sapphires and emeralds according to your horoscope or color preferences and considerations of prestige. Modern jewelry can look no less luxurious, because high-quality rhinestones can sparkle brighter than precious stones, and this is what creates an aura of luxury in the minds of the majority.
In some cases, a wedding dress can be decorated with a brooch located on the back. The decoration on the back itself looks unusual and original, and at the same time, the brooch can emphasize the correct posture and graceful lines of your figure.
The hairstyle can be secured with an antique or floral fabric brooch, guided by the principles of asymmetry.
The original approach to the image of the bride is wedding bouquet of brooches. The easiest way is to take a ready-made bouquet in a bridal salon. Such bouquets are made up of a variety of elements. Often the basis is fabric wedding flowers, which are complemented by several decorations.
Getting creative involves creating your own bridal bouquet and there are plenty of options.
You can take ready-made flowers from beads as a basis, collect them in a bouquet and complement them with jewelry, using a large sparkling brooch for the central element. Along with this wonderful addition to the bouquet will be ribbons and fresh flowers.
Beautiful beaded flowers are not cheap, but these flowers, unlike real roses, can stay with you for life! I already have one beautiful bouquet of beaded roses, they do not lose their brilliance and beauty over the years, therefore they serve as a home decoration.
When collecting your own bouquet of brooches and beaded flowers, try to stick to the color scheme in delicate pastel colors.
In conclusion, it is important to say that the wedding brooch should become a “delicious highlight” that will organically complement the festive look. Then the enthusiastic guests will not take their eyes off the beautiful and happy bride for a moment.
