Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding dress and the shoes to match, but the finishing touch often comes in the form of carefully selected wedding accessories. Beyond adding that extra sparkle to your special day, pieces like pearl drop earrings and diamond tennis bracelets often become go-to accessories that elevate your everyday look long after the wedding. As Frank Darling founder, Kegan Fisher, puts it, "Just like how wedding gifts often become the backbone of your home, bridal jewelry can be the start of your capsule collection."
Today’s weddings range from simple afternoon ceremonies to elaborate multi-day affairs, making it especially important to select pieces that are versatile enough to complement different wedding looks yet still feel special. Accessories designer Jennifer Behr explains, “Many of our brides are coming to us looking for multiple pieces to change up their looks without the need for complicated outfit changes.” She adds, "We have brides who will wear crystal statement tiaras or combs with their cathedral-length veil for the ceremony and then switch to a sparkling or violet headband for an easier, yet still polished, reception look. We also see brides swapping their delicate ceremony earrings for bold, crystal pieces that add some fun movement during the after-party! It’s an easy way to make each look feel special throughout the day.”
Earrings continue to be one of the most popular bridal accessories, as they frame the face and enhance a bride’s glow. Behr shares that many brides purchase multiple pairs to wear throughout the festivities: from crystals, pearls, and even shells for poolside brunches or honeymoon getaways. She’s also noticed a rise in the popularity of brooches that match the groom’s jewelry.
Fisher also observes the resurgence of vintage styles in bridal jewelry. "We are in a chunky antique era right now. Rose cuts, old mine cuts, and champagne diamonds are making a comeback—and for good reason. Their soft, romantic glow brings warmth and dimension to any modern stack,” he says. This revival of vintage designs, particularly rose-cut diamonds and champagne-hued stones, adds layers of romance and a sense of history to contemporary bridal looks.
When it comes to the most important accessory of all—the wedding ring—many brides are opting to go beyond the traditional single band. Fisher notes, "What used to be a simple wedding band has now become a wedding stack—a curated mix of textures, metals, and carat weight that brides can continue to build on." Layering doesn’t just mean adding more pieces; it's about mixing stones—diamonds, pearls, and gold—for an unexpected effect that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.
Bridal jewelry is no longer just a fleeting adornment for your wedding day; it has become a lasting part of your personal collection. From vintage-inspired pieces to the rise of the wedding stack, bridal jewelry is continually evolving. High-profile figures, including Hollywood stars like Beyoncé, have embraced these trends by incorporating statement pieces into their wedding looks, proving that luxury jewelry can be both timeless and adaptable.
For women about to walk down the aisle, choosing jewelry that is both meaningful and luxurious is the perfect way to begin a new chapter. Whether it’s the vintage charm of rose-cut diamonds or the modern appeal of a stacked wedding ring, luxury bridal jewelry brings a timeless glow to your big day—and the many days to come.
