Sometimes if money is tight you’re looking for the cheapest deal on everything and this may include your bridal accessories. I’m all up for value for money so I generally see looking around for the best deal the no brainer thing to do. However this might not always be the case, it depends on what you’re wanting to choose so continue reading to find out when you can shop around for your bridal accessories.
Mix and Match Crystal Wedding Jewelry
If when you chose part of your bridal jewelry you remembered to ask what the make of the crystals were and what their color, then you should be able to match this item of your wedding jewellery to others from different stores, for instance if you knew your bracelet was create with Clear AB Swarovski crystals then you could shop somewhere else for a necklace which is made from the same make and color of crystals. There is more of a problem if you are unsure of the manufacturer and the crystal is colored. In this example if you were trying to match a pink crystal, you’ve got quite a selection to choose from such as rose, rosaline, light rose, vintage rose, rose water opal, fuchsia and many more.
If you’re unsure about trying to match crystal colors you’re safer if you get it all from the same place.
Mix and Match Diamante Wedding Jewelry
It can be easier to buy diamante wedding jewelry from different places and still make them match, as most diamante stones look similar even if they are different brands or made in different places, you will only be able to tell the difference if you look very carefully and you’ll find the amount of sparkle tends to be the largest difference but unless you place both pieces of jewelry side by side you probably won’t even be able to tell. Be careful when buying diamante wedding jewelry in the cheap accessories stores that you find in town as some of these will be created from acrylic diamante and will look dull and a pale yellow against glass or crystal counterparts.
Mix and Match Pearl Wedding Jewelry
Fresh water pearls are created by nature so their shades will always have light variations, making it harder to match pearls from different bridal jewelry shops. For example I buy my fresh water pearls in bulk as I know the next batch might be a slightly different shade to the ones I’ve been using in my wedding jewelry. For this reason the best idea would be to buy your real pearl jewelry from the same shop or seller at the same time, so you can guarantee the pieces will match. Believe it or not you should do this for faux pearls too, this is also another name for glass or plastic pearls, not that I would ever make anything with plastic pearls. Due to the natural variances in pearls and differences in the colors of glass and plastic pearls it better to get all your bridal accessories at the same time from the same supplier.
