Everyone knows that vintage is in, from birdcage veils to bringing back to life that “something old”.  For brides and bridesmaids, the vintage look is back and better than before.  In addition to the modern take on vintage, the 2009 bridal and bridesmaid jewelry is heading towards chunkier designs of necklaces, bracelets and earrings.

Brides looking for big and bold looks are in luck.  For chunky necklaces, look for a quality product where the jewelry designer uses the Swarovski brand of pearls and crystals.  Their beads are beautiful, have true color and sparkle magnificently.  The Swarovski brand of beads allows for complete customization.  Jewelry designers are heading towards using these beads because there are multiple color options that are both beautiful and result in a quality product.

For brides looking for a perfect color match for their maids, there are endless options of color customizations when selecting a jewelry company that uses the Swarovski brand.  With over 125 crystal color options and over 25 pearl color options there is a multitude of color combinations that look fabulous and match your wedding colors and attendants dresses.

Some popular color selections for brides and their bridesmaids this upcoming season are beautiful salmons, reds from candy apple to fire engine red, ocean blues, teals and aquamarines, purples and pastels like light pink, gray, butter cream and peach.   For this fall 2008 season brides are choosing hues of browns, coppers, oranges and ivory.  A great color offered via the Swarovski crystal brand is the golden shadow color.  This champagne color works well for both sterling silver metals and gold metals.  It looks fabulous when grouped with almost any other color bead.

Finding the perfect jewelry that is both trendy and timeless is a fun part of the wedding planning process.  A few tips to consider is the style of the neckline that you and your maids dresses have.  Coordinate your necklace style with the type of neckline your dress has for the most complimentary look.  Another tip is to give your maids their own jewelry based on their personalities.  You can give all of you bridesmaids the same necklace, but choose a different style earring or bracelet that fits that bridesmaids personality, but keep it within the same color scheme for a more congruent look.  Finding a jewelry designer that offers the wide variety of Swarovski pearls and crystals is your best bet because they offer such a huge selection – you are sure to match!
