Please share :-) Does bridal jewelry have to coordinate with bridesmaids?

Hi girls...

My dress is ivory with light golden tones, which leads me to want to wear golden jewelry and accessories. My bridesmaids are wearing a very light shade of blush, and their accessories can really go either way. My sister (MOH) has found a gorgeous pair of shoes that come in silver that she'd like to wear. Will we all look silly in photos if I accessorize with gold, and the maids accessorize with silver? Will anyone even notice?

I'd love to hear any and all opinions. If anyone has photos of their accessories & the bridal party accessories, please share! Thanks so much!

    I doubt anyone will notice.  My girls each picked out their own dresses (gray dresses of same shade) and wore whatever jewelry/shoes they wanted.   I look at my wedding photos NON STOP, like I am obsessed, and I honestly couldn't tell you who was wearing what color shoes or jewelry.   Def not something to worry about, in my opinion.

  • So out of curiosity I just looked at some pics to see what they were wearing...one had black shoes, one had silver and one had a lavender color (wedding colors were gray and purple).   I can barely even see their shoes in most the pictures. 
  • I have no idea what jewelry or shoes my bridesmaids wore.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

  • Thanks so much for the input, ladies :)
  • If you want to be strictly old school on this, brides shouldn't wear ANY jewelry except pearls!

  • I wore gold jewelry with diamonds and my BM's all wore pearls. They also all wore different shoes. I think they ended in either gold or black shoes, but that was purely coincidental. It didn't make a difference and I can guarantee that nobody else except me has any idea what they wore.

  • Thanks, everyone.. I appreciate the input! I spoke to the girls today and let them know that they could collaborate to pick whatever accessories suited their personalities.. they seemed so excited. Fun stuff!
