The type of jewelry you wear on your wedding day will give your dress and your overall look a more personal touch.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more important to pick jewelry based on your personal style and sentimental reasons instead of following what\u2019s popular on Instagram or Pinterest.<\/p>\n<p>The clean lines and minimalist styles we see in <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/articles\/vintage-inspired-jewelry\/\">modern bridal jewelry<\/a> are great, but there\u2019s just something about vintage-style fine jewelry that makes us swoon with awe.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason to go for vintage is that you\u2019re certain to be wearing a one-of-a-kind piece for a <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/weddings\/\">wedding<\/a> look that\u2019s completely unique.

Chances are there may be some pieces that have been passed down through generations in your family. See if there are any bold Gatsby-style bangles or geometric Art Deco pendants that will surely dazzle the crowd on your <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/weddings\/wedding-grooms-guide\/\">wedding day<\/a>. This kind of jewelry works best when paired with pin-curled hairstyle or old Hollywood waves.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing which <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/articles\/organize-jewelry\/\">vintage jewelry<\/a> to wear, make sure that it matches the style of your dress. If your <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/vintage-wedding-dresses-history\/\">wedding dress<\/a> is on the simpler side, then wear a bold statement piece. But if you\u2019re wearing a highly embellished <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/thrifting\/clean-vintage-wedding-gown\/\">wedding gown<\/a>, it\u2019s best to keep your baubles simple so they don\u2019t clash with the dress. If the neckline of your dress is elaborate, then go for a simpler necklace; and if your gown has long sleeves, you can do away with the bracelet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Something_New\"><\/span><a id=\"post-409011371-_thraiqbwo9ee\"><\/a>Something New<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-409011377\" title=\"The Modern Bride's Guide to Vintage-Inspired Jewelry\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry.jpeg\" alt=\"The Modern Bride's Guide to Vintage-Inspired Jewelry\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry.jpeg 1980w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry-500x333.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry-1200x799.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/the-modern-brides-guide-to-vintage-inspired-jewelry-600x400.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If your grandma\u2019s strands of pearls are too fragile to wear and your mom\u2019s favorite bangles are broken, then <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/articles\/5-vintage-inspired-things-to-do-weekend\/\">vintage-inspired jewelry is the next best thing<\/a>.
