Pearls of wisdom


In Greek mythology when Aphrodite, Goddess of Love and Beauty, rose from the sea, the tears of joy she cried fell as pearls. Since this time, pearls have been associated with love and beauty. They offer a natural timeless beauty and make the perfect accessory for your special day


A 88


t Isle of Wight Pearl you can buy pearls which will complement your dress, enhance your natural glow and add to the magic of


your big day. One of the key factors when buying pearls is their lustre. Pearls throw a flattering light to the complexion, just like having your own personal air brusher — a handy thing to have on the most photographed day of your life.


Here’s a few simple rules you need to remember when choosing your wedding jewellery:


V-neck dresses


Try ‘lariat’ necklaces, following the Y line, or dangly pendants. If you are more courageous in your jewellery choices, you can opt for an extra-long pearl rope and tie it casually just below the neckline of your dress.


Halter neck dresses


If the halter is low and wide, you can apply the same rules as if you were wearing a V-neck dress. If the halter rises close to your throat, it is better to skip the necklace and go for dangly earrings and statement bracelets instead.


Sweethearts and


strapless dresses These are easy, really anything goes but mirroring the shape of the dress always looks good. This is a great opportunity to experiment!


Spaghetti straps, round


or scoop neck dresses Keep the necklace simple with a pendant or single strand of pearls and add feature earrings and a pretty bracelet.
