2011 Spring Bridal Jewelry

Brides are you getting married in the spring of 2011, and wondering about bridal jewelry for both you and your bridesmaids? For those brides looking to keep current and stay fashionable, here are some of the trends for spring brides this year:

Lariat necklaces-
One trend getting more popular by the day is the lariat necklace. This is a delicate, graceful, looping necklace has a vintage feel to it. Some lariats are shorter in the front, but have their focus down the back, this is good choice for gowns with open backs. Lariats are a sophisticated choice for any age, and they look especially great with cocktail-length gowns or with the popular sheath style.

Dramatic earrings-
Many brides are choosing to make a statement with their earrings, and forgo a necklace. This is a good choice if you have a dress with a lot of work at the top or a higher neckline. Many Brides are choosing large, loud, brightly-colored gems or delicate dangles that go all the way down to their shoulders. Brides in the spring will prefer to wear earrings that really stand out.

Silver-
Silver has definitely become the preference over gold in recent years. Silver is a better choice for a springtime, so expect to see brides and bridesmaids wearing more of the softer silver look than of the brighter, harsher gold.

Colorful gems-
More and more brides are going to be selecting colorful gemstones for their bridal jewelry, not just for their bridal parties, rather than sticking with the traditional pearls. Amethyst will be one of the most popular choices, with canary, sapphire and emerald close behind, taking advantage of the natural beauty of springtime flowers.

Bracelets- 
Bracelets are one of those finicky accessories that fade in and out of fashion but this year they are definitely in. Bridal bracelets are all about multiple strands. Designs with twisted strands of crystals and pearls are popular accented by touches of rich jewel-tones. Many brides will be pairing these statement bracelets with bold earring styles as an alternative to necklaces.
