Earrings for wedding guest

Wedding guest jewelry etiquette

There's a whole set of standards for a bride, but what about the looks of the wedding guests? We know wedding guests shouldn't wear a white dress, that's for sure. But is there anything else we should know and we're still not applying it? Is there an appropriate colour to wear to a wedding? Can I wear whatever jewellery I want?

As a matter of fact, yes. Yes, yes and yes. When it comes to wedding guest attire, there are several rules you must follow. If you are attending a religious wedding, you should avoid wearing bare shoulders or mini-skirts. In terms of colour, wedding guest dress code recommends to wear yellow. In fact, any color except for white is allowed.

Wear what you feel more comfortable with

However, there's no a specific wedding guest jewelry etiquette.

It is said that the ideal wedding guest should wear simple and sophisticated jewellery, minimalistic and classic accessories, but in Bombay Sunset we believe that this statement is already a bit outdated being in the 21st century.

That's why in this post we bring you the best wedding guest jewellery ideas for 2021. All types of jewellery for all types of weddings and guests.

What jewelry should a guest wear to a wedding?

As mentioned earlier, there is no specific jewellery that a wedding guest should wear. It is said that it is preferable to wear minimalist, classic and sophisticated jewellery, but in Bombay Sunset we believe that any jewellery is appropriate as long as you feel comfortable and beautiful with it. So, let's start from the beginning, with the easiest and simplest decision: gold-plated or silver-plated earrings?

Gold-plated earrings for wedding guest: Gold or rose gold jewellery looks good on warm skin tones and combines perfectly with colours like aquamarine, brown, orange, yellow or green. Gold-plated earrings are also a perfect match with white zircons. In Bombay Sunset, all jewels are plated in 18K gold to preserve its colour and durability and to avoid allergies such as to nickel. So, if you're a wedding guest with brown or dark skin, don’t hesitate to wear gold-plated or rose gold-plated jewelry to the wedding.
Silver-plated earrings for wedding guest: Silver and white gold is preferred with pale or fair skin tones and fits perfectly with vibrant colours like pink, red, purple or blue. If you are wearing a dress of these colours and your skin is light, silver-plated jewelry is what you really need for the wedding.
