Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend (a quote made popular by Marilyn Monroe) but at Emmaline Bride we think pearls are a bride’s best friend. Today, we’re sharing with you five reasons why we think pearls are an instant wedding classic PLUS a few pretty pieces of pearls for brides by Girly Girl Bead Boutique. Read on to find out more along with hand-picked pearls for brides. Enjoy!

5 Reasons Why Pearls are a Bride’s Best Friend

1. Pearls are a classic!

Pearls are elegant and classically chic, making pearl necklaces, earrings, or bracelets a popular choice for brides. Take a peek at your mother or grandmother’s wedding photographs; chances are, plenty of pearl jewelry was worn.

2. Pearls are more affordable than crystal or diamond jewelry.

If you’re a bride on a budget, you can find beautiful handmade pearl jewelry that is affordable AND beautiful.

3. Pearls go with everything.

Pearls will complement any gown, can be found in ivory or white to complement the shade perfectly, and there are plenty of pearl necklace options to suit your style perfectly. Plus, pearls go with everything even after the wedding day. A simple pearl necklace or pearl earrings can be worn during the day with your work outfit, after work with your girls, or date night with your honey. Purchasing pearls for your wedding day means you’ll have a classic, versatile piece to wear with everything. We’d say that is money well spent!

4. Pearls make a great heirloom for generations.

Pearls are high-quality, made-to-be-passed-down jewelry pieces to be enjoyed by generations to come. We don’t think pearls are going away as a popular bridal favorite anytime soon, and chances are your daughter will be looking for a classic pearl jewelry piece while planning her own wedding. If she has another jewelry piece in mind, it will still make a beautiful gesture as “something old” or “something borrowed” she can wear to other wedding day events like her bridal shower or wedding rehearsal.

5. Handmade pearl jewelry is made with love and two hands just for you.

Handmade wedding jewelry is what we love at Emmaline Bride because each piece is carefully crafted by two hands and is made with love. Prefer another color? Want a longer length chain? Need a larger order to include your bridesmaid jewelry? It’s all possible with handmade because you have the opportunity to speak directly to the designer so you know it will be perfect just for you.
