All eyes are on the bride on her wedding day: her dress, her glow, and, of course, her jewelry. As weddings have adapted to reflect modern-day trends, so too have accompanying accessories. Engagement rings still tend to take center stage, but the draw of statement earrings should not be underestimated. Why not go all out for your wedding day? Not only do statement earrings offer another opportunity for self-expression, but they are sure to pop during a COVID-safe or Zoom ceremony.
Digital content producer Megan Pinckney Rutherford, whose recent wedding to lawyer James Todd Rutherford was featured on Vogue Weddings, opted to go the statement route. She finished off her Sergio Hudson look with a pair of bejeweled, bow-adorned drop earrings. The gem tones perfectly complemented her dress and added a subtle pop of color. Rutherford’s earrings further enhanced the feminine feel of her wedding-day look and also featured two large pearls, which happen to be her birthstone.
Whether your statement earrings are your something old, new, borrowed, or blue, there are a plethora of options to choose from. Consider an updated pearl drop from Ana Khouri, or go the ultramodern route with an enamel ear cuff by Bea Bongiasca. For the bride who wants a more classic pair of statement earrings, look no further than Mateo’s diamond-and-green-amethyst earrings.
Below, find the perfect pair of statement earrings for your wedding day that will have your guests turning their heads.
