This spring, it will be difficult to tell if
a bride is walking down the aisle or making her way down her personal
red carpet. After a yearlong love affair with the boxy trapeze dress,
designers are emphasizing the waist and adding elegant details.
"This focus on the feminine calls for glamorous
bridal jewelry fit for a princess," says Shawn Diddy, Jewelry
Television's trend tracker. Here are some of the looks she's expecting
to be hot in 2010:
*Brides will make a "ready for your close-up" impact
in an off-the-shoulder dress. The look from the runways calls for
minimal accents -- a single, "statement" piece of jewelry such as a
pair of dangle earrings that sparkle or a thick, signature bracelet.
Wear hair up to really show off your shoulders in that gorgeous dress.
*Pleats, ruffles and tulip tiers abound in light and
frothy fabrics. Because of the unusual silhouettes of these trendy
dresses, keep hair and jewelry simple. A loose chignon softens your
face while a classic pair of diamond stud earrings adds elegance and
light to the ensemble.
*A white dress and Grandma's pearls is what everyone
else is wearing, so why not go with this season's hot pastels?
Diaphanous dresses in shades of peach, blush and baby blue are fresh
and stylish. Pull your hair back into a soft ponytail to show off
sparkling crystal earrings or a necklace in a complementary color.
*Lace is always in, but this season's unique lace
details work especially well with long, flowing hair. Rich,
jewel-toned, vintage-look jewelry adds texture to the ensemble.
*Whether the dress is short or long, designers have
put the emphasis back on the waist. Nipped-in lines and wide belts or
sashes showed all over New York's runways. Because of the symmetry of
the dress, wear your hair parted to the side and add drama with strong
platinum jewelry pieces.
"Few brides can spend a fortune on a couture gown and
estate diamonds so we recommend platinum plated sterling silver for
elegant, affordable, designer-inspired wearability." For more
