Choosing the perfect bridal bracelet is a delightful part of your wedding planning process, but ensuring it fits just right is key to achieving that polished, elegant look. Whether you’re shopping online or having a custom piece made, knowing your wrist size will help you find a bracelet that’s both comfortable and flattering.Â
A well-fitting bracelet is one that’s snug enough to stay in place, yet loose enough to allow for comfortable movement. Here’s a simple guide on how to measure your wrist for a bridal bracelet.
You’ll need:
Locate the prominent bone on the outside of your wrist. This is where your wrist begins to widen into your hand, and it’s the point around which you’ll measure for the best fit. It’s usually the narrowest part of your wrist.
Using a measuring tape:
Wrap the tape around your wrist by positioning the tape just below the wrist bone. Ensure the tape is snug but not too tight. You should be able to fit a finger comfortably between the tape and your skin. Note the number where the end of the tape meets the rest of the tape. This is your wrist size.
Using paper or string:
Wrap the paper or string around your wrist, snugly just below the wrist bone. Use a pen or pencil to mark where the paper or string overlaps. Lay the paper or string flat and use a ruler to measure the length from the end of the mark. This measurement is your wrist size.
Measure your wrist a couple of times to ensure accuracy. It’s better to have a precise measurement than to guess.
Now that you have your wrist measurement, the next step is to decide how you want the bracelet to fit.
For example, if your wrist measures 6 inches, your bracelet size would be:
Different bracelet styles may require slight adjustments in size. Bangles typically neeed to be slightly larger to fit over your hand. Measure the widest part of your hand (around the knuckles) to ensure the bangle will slide on easily.
Cuff bracelets are often adjustable, so you may have more flexibility with sizing. Choose a size close to your wrist measurement for a snug fit, and gently adjust as needed.
The fit of pearl bracelets can vary depending on the size of the pearls. Larger pearls on a bracelet will sit a bit tighter than smaller pearl so keep this in mind when you select your size.
Now that you have your wrist measurement and know the fit you prefer, you’re ready to shop for your bridal bracelet. If you’re ordering a custom piece, provide your jewellery designer with your exact wrist size and the type of fit you want.
When ordering online, check the bracelet’s size guide if available, as different brands may have slight variations in sizing.

Earrings can enhance your features, complement your dress, and tie your entire bridal ensemble together. However, not all earring suit every neckline. The key to finding the perfect pair lies in understanding how your earrings interact with the neckline of your wedding dress. We’re here to help you make the best choice, offering styling tips and practical advice to ensure your earrings complement your look perfectly.
A low V neckline or low V back is the ultimate in sensual sophistication. A low front doesn’t necessarily mean you need to wear a necklace to fill the space. Instead, consider statement earrings with a longer drop or a backwards facing headpiece can be the perfect details to accentuate the lines of the low V. Play on the long angular lines with unique accessories such as chain thread earrings, a long pearl drop or a clean wedding veil that highlights the strong V lines.

A sweetheart neckline is one of the most versatile necklines to accessorise. The world is your oyster. A necklace, earrings, headpiece and/or veil will all work together but the key is not to over-accessorise.
If you’d love to wear a crown, you don’t necessarily need to pair it with larger-than-life earrings or a necklace. A statement crown can look absolutely exquisite with crystal studs and no necklace, drawing attention to your face and dress.

An off-the-shoulder neckline is sensual, chic and utterly feminine. It draws attention to the neck, face and shoulders in the most beautiful way. It’s a shame to over accessorise this area and often a set of longer earrings or a backwards facing headpiece or crow is all you need.
If you just want a touch of sparkle, opt for some simpler studs to keep this area open and clean.

Styling tips:
We love to pair high necklines with anything from stud earrings that draw attention to the face to longer earrings on the delicate side. Avoid heavy chandelier style earrings if your dress features a lot of detail around the face as this can be a bit distracting and compete with the other details.
Pearl or crystal studs or dainty chain earrings are the perfect way to add a classic and sophisticated detail to a modern and chic neckline.
