HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST STATEMENT EARRINGS FOR YOUR WEDDING
MAJ DROPS STYLED WITH BON BRIDE GOWN
They may already be bold but selecting the right pair for a balanced bridal look is a bit more involved
make a statement
Details CAN distinguish, so if your dress is simple, statement earrings will easily elevate your look. From exaggerated length to a full bodied drop, it’s our bolder side of bridal. Here’s how to style them for your wedding day—
First, think about your dress. Let’s be honest, bridal has been in a bit of a minimal era (though I think a shift is coming) so assuming your dress is simple/clean then start by choosing your statement earrings based on the neckline.
NECKLINES
Open necklines lend the most options, you can go with length and/ or body but if you have a higher neckline, consider a statement stud or classic drop earring. It will have just as much impact without competing with your dress.
You can pair a high neckline with length, but it’s a bit more of a dance. Because your neckline and earrings will share real estate, be sure to keep it delicate with styles like Freshwater Pearl Strands or Long Rue Strands. Here, a strand earring style can help bring movement to a structured neckline without overwhelming it. Anything much bolder will be a visual traffic jam.
HAIRSTYLE
How are you wearing your hair? Watch it here with the magnolia stems - you can see statement earrings will be seen with your hair up or down but it’s two very different vibes. If you choose to wear a statement earring with your hair back, I recommend keeping the rest of your look pretty minimal to maintain balance since they will become a focal point with your dress. Consider pairing them with a raw edge veil (no detail) and skip the headpiece.
With your hair down, they play peek-a-boo so you can pull in a few other details without overdoing it. I love a cuff, stack of rings on the right hand or an elevated clutch for your wedding day essentials!
AESTHETIC
Consider your style and the vision for your wedding day. We design the collection with a few aesthetics in mind. The gold, high shine florals offer an artful, contemporary element to your look. It’s romantic yet unexpected. Going for timeless? Pearls, naturally (or glass for a modern day alternative). We work with refined round pearls as well as freshwater and baroque pearls. The rounds offer that classic elegance whereas the freshwater pearls pull in an organic authenticity that feels forward and decadent. Going for whim and ethereal amore? Explore our tonal (all ivory styles). Styling ivory from head to toe creates a consistency that allows you to play around with texture and form without overwhelming your look.
WHEN TO WEAR THEM
Last, decide if the statement earrings are part of your ceremony look or more of a reception, ready-to-party scene. If you don’t want a second dress, accessories are our go-to alternative for creating a second look with the same wedding dress. Often hair that was down goes up on the dance floor so a statement earring can leave you feeling ‘bride’ even when the night gets a bit undone.
Worried about size and comfort? A statement doesn’t have to weigh you down. Comfort is at the core of our designing. Take the Magnolia stems— full body and length but because the florals are hallow, they are truly effortless for their size. Feather light? We got you, explore raffia styles like Stevie for bold detail that lends next level comfort.
