Wedding guest jewelry etiquette is similar to the dress code typically detailed in your wedding invitation. Anything that may be so extravagant that it takes attention away from the bride and groom is generally off-limits for wedding guests. But wait, you still want to look good and feel confident in your outfit. We have listed appropriate ‘jewelry for wedding guest‘ ear-to-arm options to ensure you’re respectful but never dull.
Wedding Guest Attire
Wedding guests are bound to a few rules designed to center the attention on the bridal party. Before accessories, ensuring your wedding outfit does not overshadow is the first step in respecting wedding etiquette.
Of course, avoid wearing white or ivory and over-the-top statement jewelry. The dress code, venue, time of year, and weather should inform your overall outfit decisions.
Wedding Guest Jewelry
Depending on your relationship with the bride and groom, you may want to wear something that would position you differently than others.
Wedding Jewelry for the Mother of the Bride
The mother of the bride may want to show her closeness to the couple by coordinating her colors with the bridesmaids. Rose gold is a popular choice of theme, and the bridesmaid’s dresses could be that color. If so, model a few simple but charming rose gold pieces.
Wedding Jewelry for the Mother of the Groom
Like the bride’s mother, the mother of the groom may want to coordinate colors with the groomsmen. The color theme may manifest through the groomsmen’s ties or handkerchiefs. Whatever that color is, find a piece that matches. If the color is blue, wear a gorgeous blue diamond piece.
Earrings for All Wedding Guests
Minimalist earrings are essential for a wedding guest because they complement the overall outfit without being too distracting, allowing the focus to remain on the bride and groom. Additionally, they can convey a sense of understated elegance and refinement.
Chandelier earrings may bring too much attention, but other minimal styles are perfect when attending a formal wedding. If your hair will cover the majority of the earrings, you can generally work around this stipulation.
