What is a bridal choker?
Chokers are a type of necklace that fit snugly around the neck, sitting just at its base. This piece of jewelry stands out for its finesse and elegance, and can add a touch of shine and sophistication to your wedding look. The bridal choker frames the whole face, including the neck, enhancing the beauty and elegance of the wearer. It easily draws attention and is ideal for expressing your style and personality on your wedding day.
Types of choker for your wedding
There are many different types of bridal chokers, from the more classic and simpler to the more modern and original. On the one hand, the wide variety is an advantage, since there are models to suits all styles and tastes. On the other, the variety can make it harder to come to a decision. When it comes to choosing yours, you should take several factors into account to find the right one. It is important to consider the design of the wedding choker, the material of the other pieces of jewelry and accessories you will wear on the big day, the dress and, of course, your tastes and preferences. To make sure you don’t get lost among the endless options, we are firstly going to take a look at the most popular types of bridal chokers.
- PEARL CHOKERS: This is the quintessential bridal accessory. Despite being one of the more traditional and elegant options, it never goes out of fashion. Pearls are a symbol of purity and femininity, and they can add a distinctive and romantic touch to your look. If you are looking for a simple model, opt for the pearl choker that wraps around the neck once. If you want to break away from the classic look, choose a long pearl necklace that can be adjusted by wrapping it around the neck several times. Another option is to add a pendant that has a special meaning for you and your partner.
- LACE CHOKERS: If you have opted for a romantic style, the ideal choker for your wedding dress will be one made of lace. For this such special day, opt for thin and delicate lace chokers that add a touch of elegance to the dress. The width varies from one model to another, they can fit more or less snugly to the neck and some include delicate drops onto the neckline that make them stand out in a truly special way.
- GOLD CHOKERS: Gold chokers offer a sophisticated and versatile alternative for brides that are looking to add a touch of luxury to their wedding gown. We recommend you opt for fine and delicate models, they are the most elegant option that will add a discreet shine to your neck without overwhelming the outfit. For more glamour, choose gold chokers encrusted with diamonds or precious stones.
Tips for choosing the perfect choker
Now you know about the most popular types of bridal chokers, it is vital that you take some key factors into account when choosing the perfect model to match your wedding dress, your style, and the accessories you will wear on the big day.
Don’t settle for the first choker you find that you like. We advise you to try different models and styles, and see how they look with your wedding dress and other accessories. You might end up loving the bridal choker you least expected. If you aren’t completely sure and like several different ones, ask your friends for advice, they are bound to help you to choose the perfect piece of jewelry.
Take your face shape into account. Those with an oval shaped face can wear any style of choker. It is the best type of necklace to enhance your beauty. If you have a square face, we recommend you choose bridal chokers with curved elements to soften the lines of your face. Your skin tone and hair color are also key when it comes to choosing the material and color of your choker. For example, if you have light skin and blonde hair, a silver choker or one in white gold might suit you best. However, if you have darker skin and dark hair, we recommend a yellow gold choker. Try different materials and decide for yourself which one enhances your beauty.
The style of your dress is another important factor you should bear in mind to make the most of your bridal choker. More classic dresses go well with lace or pearl chokers. If you have chosen a modern style dress, dare to wear a minimalist choker with gemstones or other striking details that suit your personal taste. In addition, strive for a balance between your choker and your neckline, since they can add or remove the spotlight from each other. For example, if your wedding dress has a high neckline, choose a finer and more discreet choker. But if the neckline is more open or lower, don’t be afraid to choose a bridal choker that takes the whole limelight.
