Can I wear pearls to my wedding?

For thousands of years, people have passed down stories and traditions surrounding wedding days, but there is one that remains in question: Are pearls good or bad luck? One story has it that pearls were thought to promote marital harmony, while another says that pearls represent tears. Either way, pearl jewelry remains a staple for some brides. In fact, pearls can pair beautifully with your custom engagement ring. Here are a few ways to incorporate pearls into your wedding day attire:

Shoes

Pearls on your shoes are a great way to incorporate them without being too overt. A cluster detail of pearls in different sizes on the top of your shoe creates the perfect effect. Consider a silver shoe that will match your diamond cut ring.

Earrings

Diamond earrings with pearls combine the best of both worlds in one beautiful piece. Consider a pair that has a studded detail of diamonds with a small pearl that will hang just below your ear. If you prefer larger jewelry, you can opt for a chandelier shape made of diamonds and pearls. This type of accessory is great if you still plan to have pearl accents because it brings it all together and makes it match seamlessly. The earrings with pearls and diamond accents from the Brian Garvin team are perfect for a bride that loves small stud earrings.

Hair clip

Hair accessories are increasingly popular these days, and it's the perfect way to add a bit of sparkle to a simple hairdo. Whether you let your locks flow or keep them tied up tight, a clip gives you a vintage or royal aesthetic. Find one that includes both pearls and diamonds to wrap up the entire look in one-fell-swoop.
