Choosing Beach Wedding Jewelry - 3 Easy Ideas

There's nothing better than a wedding at sunset on the beach. With close family and friends, it can provide the perfect symmetry of romance and simplicity as you start your life together. Thanks to the natural setting of a beach wedding, you are free to say your "I Dos" in traditional formal or more comfortable, casual attire.

Once you decide upon the perfect dresses for yourself and your bridesmaids, whether they are formal or casual, you will want to choose earrings, necklaces and bracelets that compliment your dresses and still stay within the theme of the wedding. So, how do you find just the right beach wedding jewelry? Read on for three easy tips that you may find helpful when selecting bridal and bridesmaid jewelry for your beach or destination wedding.

1. Tie in Tropical Colors

As a beach bride, you have a lot of freedom to be creative with your jewelry choices. Beach jewelry is an excellent way to add a beautiful burst of tropical color. Choose jewelry in colors that represent your surroundings. Look for earrings, necklaces and bracelets made with freshwater pearls, gemstones or crystal beads in vibrant or subtle shades of tropical colors. Bridesmaid jewelry made from turquoise crystal or ocean blue chalcedony or quartz will create a subtle ocean theme.

2. Choose Organic

Choose beach jewelry made with nature's most beautiful treasures, like coral, pearls and seashells. A chunky mother of pearl necklace or earrings may add just the right finishing touch to your wedding dress. Coral branch bracelets will make unique bridesmaid gifts and add an unusual finishing touch to your bridesmaid's dresses.

3. Select Unique Pearls

Pearls are a classic jewelry choice for any bride, and a beach wedding is no exception. Since pearls come from oysters, they naturally remind us of the sea. Almost any jewelry made with natural freshwater pearls will work well, but why not go for a more unique pearl to tie in with the casual surroundings? A necklace, bracelet or earrings made with Keshi pearls are an excellent idea. These irregular shaped pearls are formed outside of the oyster have a unique "flake" shape. Nugget pearls are another great option, as they have an earthy look that will tie in with a beach wedding theme perfectly.
