Choose a friend or a family member to accompany you

It would be wise to take with someone from your family or your friend to opine for you. At the same time don’t take too many people’s opinion or else you will land up in a mess. Accompany whose advice you trust. Each shop is bound to have different offerings, so visit various shops before making your final decision.

Suit your style

Certainly you don’t want to be standing stiff on your wedding day when everyone else is enjoying. To stay away from this situation avoid wearing jewelry more than you are comfortable with. If you are not comfortable with big jewelry pieces don’t buy them just because they happen to be in vogue.
In some cultures, for instance Pakistani and Indian culture; bridal jewelry is not limited to necklace, earrings and bracelets. Head band, armlet, bangles, waist band, anklets and toe rings make for bridal jewelry. Choose what you are comfortable in and enjoy your wedding day!
