JEWELRY

Jewelry is an intimate matter—especially when pairing pieces with your wedding gown. In keeping with tradition, you can choose pieces reflecting "something borrowed " or "something blue." By keeping it simple with a string of pearls, earrings and bracelet, you can achieve just the right touch without undermining the beauty of your gown.

Remember, the neckline of your dress determines your jewelry and dictates how much or how little you wear. Your dress is meant to be seen and your jewelry shouldn’t overshadow it.

No matter what look you are striving for, there are a number of local jewelers that will help you find the right piece to give you the pizzazz that you need. Consult our advertising partners for assistance—they are some of the area’s finest jewelry retailers.
