What Style of Earring Should I Chose?
Here are some ideas of materials and styles of earrings for weddings, and which styles of dresses and events to pair them with.
Pearl Earrings
Pearls are a classic gem to use in weddings. They are wonderful because they can work for day or evening and usually will accent or complement any outfit. While real pearls might be a little cost-prohibitive to give as a gift, there are some cultured pearl and faux pearl options that will give this polished look! We love this set from Allure Wedding Jewelry on Etsy for under $10 a pair!
Silver or Gold Earrings
The choice is really up to you as to which metallic you prefer. Gold and rose gold give a warmer look, while silver is a cooler tone that can look just right with black, silver, and other cool tones.
Statement and Long Chandelier Earrings
For a black-tie, evening, or formal bridesmaid look, a pair of statement earrings can be just the right pick. Many of the chandelier bridal styles elevate a long formal gown from simple to striking! We also love the look of a tassel earring for a statement look.
Crystal or Rhinestone Earrings
A pair of sparkling earrings either in statement or cluster form always add high sparkle, which is always a good idea for a special occasion like a wedding. While real diamonds would be lovely, affordable options like crystal and CZ earrings are a great choice.
Studs and Cluster Earrings
For a daytime wedding, or to bring attention to the face, simple studs and cluster earrings can be a great pick! We personally love to wear studs and cluster earrings in the case where wearing a larger earring might complete with the dress or with the other accessories. These earrings are also so easy to wear again. You can find some wonderful stud earrings from kate spade new york, or J.Crew as well as the other earring sources we've named above.
Hoop Earrings
Hoops are having a major comeback. Hoop earrings are both classic and modern: a pair of big hoops can give a nice modern boho style, while a part of huggie hoops can give a classic subtle polish to a look.
Inexpensive Earrings
Everyone has their own budget and idea of what affordable means, but we've tried to find some earrings under $20 or that are affordable to buy in sets so that buying earrings for your bridesmaids isn't too much of a financial imposition. Try Lulus, Azazie, and Etsy for affordable finds!
Styling and Etiquette
If you are a bridesmaid, and you have been given a pair of earrings from the couple or bride, then it usually indicates that they are meant to be worn to the ceremony as a part of your outfit. In the case that there's any question, check with the other attendants or bride to be sure. If for some reason you can't wear the earrings (i.e., you have unpierced ears, allergies to metal) see if there's a workaround. You can purchase a converter to make them clip-on, or have a different backing put on, or coat the post with something like clear nail polish to protect your ears. If you're giving earrings as a gift, consider the wearer as well and try to purchase nickel-free and hypoallergenic styles when possible.
