Wedding season is here! When you are choosing jewelry to gift your bridal party, you want to match the mood of the wedding. There are different types of weddings with different vibes, but pick what feels right for you and your squad.
Here are some types of wedding styles as examples:
TYPES OF WEDDINGS
FORMAL WEDDING
If the wedding has a formal dress code, consider wearing a traditional suit or tuxedo for men and a formal gown, cocktail dress, or pantsuit for women. Opt for classic and elegant colors like black, navy, or charcoal for men, and choose a look that is sophisticated and stylish for women.
SEMI-FORMAL/COCKTAIL WEDDING
For a semi-formal or cocktail dress code, men can wear a suit in lighter colors like gray or beige. Women can opt for a chic cocktail dress or a stylish pantsuit. You can experiment with different styles and colors as long as the outfit maintains a polished and sophisticated look.
BEACH WEDDING
If the wedding is taking place on a beach or has a casual theme, you can dress more casually while still looking presentable. Men can wear light-colored dress pants or chinos with a dress shirt or a linen shirt. Women can choose a flowy sundress or a maxi dress in light, breathable fabrics. Ask before wearing overly casual attire like shorts, tank tops, or flip-flops unless specifically mentioned in the dress code. I was married on the beach and shorts, flip flops etc. were worn. Your mileage may vary.
JEWELRY BRIDAL PARTY GIFTS
Gifting the bridal party with jewelry that they can wear during the event is a great choice. It unifies the look of the party and gives everyone a piece to remember the night and the love and friendship that tied it all together.
NECKLACES
A delicate pendant necklace or a statement necklace can add an elegant touch to an outfit. Choose a style that complements the neckline of their dress or suit. Matching initial necklaces with their initials would be a fun way to coordinate without matching exactly. Something beautiful, but a bit unique would also fit the bill nicely.

EARRINGS
Earrings can be a focal point of your jewelry. For a formal event, opt for sophisticated studs, dangle earrings, or chandelier earrings. For a more casual or beach wedding, you can go for fun and colorful earrings or hoop earrings. Either way, find something that will flatter everyone, and there is no rule saying they have to all match. You can get coordinating looks without them being identical, match exactly, or they can have nothing in common. The options are nearly endless.

BRACELETS
A simple and elegant bracelet can add a touch of sparkle to your wrist. Choose a style that matches your dress or suit and complements your other jewelry pieces. A little sparkle can bring a lot of smiles.

RINGS
Rings are another great gift for your bridal party. Cocktail rings or right-hand rings are a fun way to coordinate the adornment. Rings have the bonus of mirrored symbolism with the wedding ring. The friendship is hopefully also endless.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Jewelry is a great gift for your bridal party. They are spending your special day by your side and something beautiful to remind them of it is awesome. Have fun with it, and keep taste and personality in mind as well as look. Good luck, have fun, and CONGRATULATIONS!
