My ring is platinum…what accessories will match?

HOW TO : WEAR SILVER BRIDAL EARRINGS ON YOUR WEDDING DAY—— a few quick styling tips.


we’re all for mixed metals but if you’re keen on sticking to one, we got you.

let’s be honest, gold is hot right now but that doesn’t mean silver is any less elegant or wedding worthy [when you think about it, it’s kind of the OG]. there is a time and place for silver—where gold would completely throw off the styling.

ultimately, if you typically wear silver, opt for it down the aisle - whatever has you feeling most YOU, most confident. and if you just don’t know… don’t have a strong feeling about it, then reach out and connect with a stylist - maybe we’ll pick up some detail about your wedding or on your dress that speaks to one or the other.

1. If you have a dress with sequins or a heavily beaded gown...

Wearing silver and glass earrings with a heavily beaded and sparkly wedding gown is a thoughtful choice for several reasons:

  1. Balance and Contrast :
    A heavily beaded and sparkly gown already makes a bold statement with all its shimmer and shine. Silver and glass earrings, especially if they're delicate or minimalist in design, help to tone down the intensity of the gown's sparkle, creating a balance between the two elements. This prevents the look from becoming too overwhelming and lets both the gown and the earrings complement each other without competing for attention.

  2. Focus on the Gown :
    Since the gown itself has so much detail and shine, the earrings can serve as a supporting accessory. Rather than drawing attention away from the dress, they enhance the overall look without overshadowing it.

  3. Versatility in Styling :
    Silver, as a neutral and classic metal, works with almost any color or design. It's easy to pair with a variety of gemstones or glass elements, which can help tie together the overall wedding aesthetic without clashing with the gown's embellishments.

2. if your gown has cooler undertones...

You want to wear silver, go for it girl. If your still on the fence, here's a few reasons why it works:


1. Color Temperature Harmony

Cooler-toned dresses—such as icy whites, bluish-whites, or soft greys—pair beautifully with silver because both share the same cool undertones . Silver enhances the natural coolness of the dress without clashing, unlike gold, which has warm, yellowish hues that can create visual dissonance.


2. Modern Elegance

Silver jewelry, especially in bold or sculptural designs, exudes a modern, minimalist sophistication that aligns perfectly with today’s bridal trends. If you're going for a clean, editorial-inspired look, silver offers a polished and contemporary finish.


3. You Do It For The Gram

Statement earrings in silver reflect light in a flattering way —brightening the face and adding definition in photos. This is especially effective for cooler-toned brides who may have porcelain or fair skin, as silver won't overpower or cause harsh contrast.


4. It's always About Balance

Many cooler-toned dresses feature crystal, pearl, or sequin embellishments , which are often set in silver or platinum-toned metal. Silver earrings naturally echo these details , tying the look together in a cohesive, intentional way.


Bridal Stylist Tip, No Gatekeeping Here:

If the dress has a high neckline or intricate shoulder detail, opt for sleek, elongated silver earrings to draw the eye vertically and elongate the neck. If the neckline is open, a bolder statement piece can act as the focal accessory without needing a necklace.

3. if your wearing a rhinestone headpiece...

As a bridal stylist, recommending silver statement earrings alongside a rhinestone headpiece for a modern bride it's all about balance. Here's why this pairing works beautifully:


1. Cohesive Sparkle

Rhinestone headpieces are typically set in silver or platinum-toned metal , so pairing them with silver statement earrings creates a seamless, unified look . Mixing metals can feel visually disjointed, but silver-on-silver delivers a polished, thoughtfully styled finish.


Stylist Tip: Think of your accessories as a conversation—your headpiece and earrings should be speaking the same style language.


2. Reflects a Modern, Minimal-Luxe Aesthetic

Silver jewelry feels inherently modern and fresh , especially when paired with rhinestones, which add a touch of glam without overwhelming the look. Statement earrings in silver can either elevate a sleek, minimalist gown or add edge to a more romantic silhouette.


3. Balancing Boldness and Softness

Modern brides often want a bold accessory moment without looking overdone. Silver statement earrings paired with a rhinestone headpiece strike that balance—they’re eye-catching, but not competing . The earrings complement the sparkle above without clashing or stealing focus.


Stylist Strategy:

  • If your headpiece is delicate or vintage-inspired , go for refined silver earrings with a contemporary edge (think geometric or drop styles).

  • If your headpiece is bold or regal , opt for simpler silver statement earrings to keep the balance.

4. when you want celestial vibes...

Creating celestial vibes with silver bridal accessories is all about capturing a sense of otherworldly beauty , luminous detail , and dreamy elegance —while still feeling modern and chic. Here’s how to achieve that magical look:


1. Choose Celestial Motifs Thoughtfully

Silver accessories naturally evoke a moonlit, ethereal feel. Elevate this by selecting pieces that incorporate celestial motifs like crystal, pearl clusters, or moon shapes.


2. Embrace Luminous Finishes

Celestial aesthetics are all about glow , not glitter. Go for high shine silver.


Stylist Tip: If you opt for a headpiece. Place the headpiece in soft waves or a textured updo for a dreamy, effortless vibe that still feels modern.


3. Pair with an Ethereal Gown

Silver celestial accessories work best with gowns that echo the vibe:

  • Soft tulle, chiffon, or silk organza

  • Subtle shimmer, illusion panels, or delicate embroidery

  • Cool-toned whites or silvery undertones


This creates a cohesive, heavenly look from head to toe.

Final Stylist Advice: With silver as your base, you’re tapping into timeless elegance with a cosmic twist. The result? A look that’s dreamy, divine, and unforgettable.
