Summer wedding season is in full swing, and the question of what to wear as a guest — specifically, what jewellery — comes up every year. The goal is always the same: look genuinely beautiful, feel comfortable through a long day, and complement the occasion without pulling focus.
Here's how to nail it.
The Golden Rules for Wedding Guest Jewellery
- Avoid white or ivory jewellery if the bride is wearing white — pearls are the one exception, always appropriate
- Match the formality of the venue: garden party = light and floral; ballroom = more elevated and structured
- Keep the statement to one area: bold earrings → minimal necklace; bold necklace → simple earrings
- Comfort matters — you're wearing this for 6+ hours, often dancing
For an Outdoor or Garden Summer Wedding
Earrings: The Capri Earrings — floral, pearl-accented, and perfectly calibrated for a garden setting. They feel like summer without feeling casual. Shop the Capri Earrings →
Necklace: The Mykonos or Santorini from our Greek Islands collection — handmade, pearl-accented, and the kind of necklace that looks like it cost far more than it did. Shop the Greek Islands →
Wrist: The Daisy Bracelet in a colour that complements your outfit, or the Lana Pearl Bracelet for something more elevated.
For an Indoor or Evening Summer Wedding
Earrings: The Sasha Bow Earrings for a more formal evening wedding — crystal, glamorous, and genuinely stunning under event lighting. Shop the Sasha →
Necklace: The Irina Drop Necklace — a single freshwater pearl on a fine gold chain. Pairs perfectly with the Sasha Bow earrings because it doesn't compete. Shop the Irina →
Wrist: The 5MM Gold Filled Layering Bracelet for some wrist presence, or the St. Laurent Bangle for something architectural and minimal.
What About Anklets to a Wedding?
Yes — for outdoor, beach, or destination weddings, absolutely. Keep it delicate: our 3MM Gold Filled Anklet or 3MM Sterling Silver Anklet. Skip the anklet for formal indoor receptions.
