The Complete Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bridal Earrings

You’ve found the dress (cue happy tears), your venue is locked in, and the Pinterest board is officially overflowing. Now comes one of the most exciting parts of your bridal look: the jewelry. And trust us—nothing pulls your wedding-day glow together quite like the perfect pair of bridal earrings.

Whether you’re saying “I do” at a romantic garden ceremony or dancing the night away under twinkle lights, we’re here to help you find earrings that feel so you. From delicate studs to dreamy drops, here’s your complete guide to choosing the perfect bridal earrings for your big day.

1. Match Your Earrings to Your Dress Style

Your gown sets the tone, so let’s start there.

  • Classic and Timeless
    If your dress is all about elegance (think satin, clean lines, or a bateau neckline), go for earrings that mirror that timeless feel. The Remi Studs are a favorite for a reason—polished, chic, and just the right amount of sparkle.

  • Romantic and Lace-Heavy
    Soft, flowing lace calls for something a little whimsical. We love the Eden Earrings for their feminine silhouette and floral touches. Perfect for a garden wedding or a walk down the aisle that feels straight out of a fairytale.

  • Modern and Minimal
    If your dress has a sleek silhouette or unique structure, a bold but simple earring can create a stunning contrast. The Maxine Earrings are perfect for that modern bridal vibe—eye-catching but effortlessly cool. (Plus, they're convertible!)

 

2. Consider Your Hairstyle

Your earrings will shine differently depending on how you wear your hair.

  • Updos
    If you’re going for a classic chignon or romantic bun, statement earrings are your best friend. Try the Avery Earrings for that elegant cascade effect that looks incredible from every angle.

  • Hair Down or Half-Up
    For softer, more relaxed hairstyles, something with sparkle and movement like the Serena Drops can peek through beautifully without overwhelming your look.

  • Short Hair or Pixie Cuts
    Short hair? Lucky you—you’ve got the perfect canvas for dramatic earrings. The Blair Drops bring all the bridal glam while letting your personality shine. 

3. Think About the Neckline

Your dress neckline can help narrow down your earring options:

  • Strapless or Sweetheart: You can go bold here! Long, dramatic earrings like the Elora Drops add length and elegance.

  • High Neck: Keep it simple with studs or short drops like the Porter Cluster Studs to avoid competing with the dress.

  • V-Neck or Plunge: A balanced earring that complements your décolletage is ideal. Try the Augustine Drops for a touch of sparkle that’s just right.

 

4. Don’t Forget Comfort

You’re going to be wearing your bridal earrings all day (and all night), so comfort matters. Lightweight styles like the Mini Bordeaux Studs or Cassie Stud Earrings are made for dancing, laughing, and happy-crying without weighing you down.

5. Keep Your Personal Style Front and Center

Your wedding day look should feel authentically you. So whether you’re the “sparkle-all-day” type or more of a minimalist, your earrings should reflect your vibe.

Not sure where to start? The Bridal Jewelry Collection is full of curated pieces to match every aesthetic, from ultra-glam to sweet and subtle.


One Last Tip…Try on your earrings with your dress and hairstyle before the big day. This helps you get the full picture and make sure everything feels just right.
