Bridal Lookbook: Gorgeous Glam
June 13th, 2018 / Alese Oldenburg
SLEEK, REFINED AND SOPHISTICATED.
This bride channels her inner Old Hollywood starlet. Clean lines, well-tailored pieces and simple elegance are key for creating the gorgeous glam look. It’s timeless, but never subtle. This bridal style is ready for the red carpet—or to walk down the aisle.
The goal of wedding jewelry styled this way is to create a look that will stand the test of time, because it already has. Tried-and-true silhouettes and classic pieces are the go-to. Make it all your own by highlighting your favorite features.
How? By accenting chic, clean lines with pops of bold sparkle. Go bold with your jewelry. All eyes are on you; sparkle in the limelight. Refined, classic pieces like drop earrings and a tennis necklace play on the smooth simplicity of a sleek, chic gown.
HOW WE BUILT THIS LOOK
Pick classics, and bump up the bold. Larger carat weight pieces won’t fight against an ornate dress, so you can layer on the glam.
Go all in. Necklace? Check. Drop earrings? You bet. Right hand eternity band? Oh, yes. Nothing is off limits. Today it’s all about you.
PRO TIP: Wear your bracelets on your right hand, so your engagement ring and wedding band take center stage on your left hand.

Add a bracelet. Or several. A larger carat weight tennis bracelet will match the look of a bold necklace, while several slim bracelets feel ultra luxurious and glam.
Draw the eye to your face with your earrings. Drops are ideal. Add some extra vintage elegance by choosing pear or emerald cut earrings. Gorgeous.

MAKE YOUR VINTAGE MODERN
Something new, inspired by something old. Look for stone cuts like asscher, pear, emerald and marquise, which were historically popular. Vintage-inspired perfection.

Simple is stunning. Stick to classic styles and it’s hard to overdo it. Bonus—these types of pieces will always be in style, so your jewelry wardrobe will be ready for your next big occasion.

GORGEOUSLY GLAM
Choose a style icon to model your day after—we are particular to movie star Grace Kelly, who became a princess in the 1950s. Go for jewel tones and lush floral arrangements to create an atmosphere of sophisticated glamour.
