Jewellery Inspiration for the Winter Bride

By Amanda Evans 3 Minute Read

A winter wedding has its very own unique ambience and as a winter bride, your choice of bridal jewellery to accent your wedding attire may differ to that of a summer bride to complement your seasonal look.

When longer sleeves, velvets and faux furs may come into play, the depth of these materials may suggest a more delicate set of bridal jewellery to offset this, or perhaps even a statement piece to mirror a bold look.

Whatever your preference, adding these final finishing touches to your special day marks a time for you to focus upon yourself. Consider how you wish to elevate your chosen wedding outfit and exude elegance, sophistication, and confidence as you prepare for the day itself. Explore our inspirational bridal edit chosen by our expert buyers to add the perfect complement to your outfit.

Elegant and timeless, pearls are a classic wedding day look that will transcend the years and become your ‘forever’ jewellery wardrobe staple. Daniella Jayes; Jewellery Buyer, Mappin & Webb

Diamonds and Pearls

Diamonds are the embodiment of everlasting love and marriage, and their rarity and beauty has always rendered them a popular choice of bridal jewellery. Catching the light and reflecting it through each facet, it creates a unique scintillating sparkle and brilliance which is hard to replicate by any other gemstone. The diamond can be a perfect accent when matched with a pearl, with the purity of each presenting an elegant pairing for the sophisticated bride.

With a muted white and soft exterior, natural pearls are rare and hard to find with a lustrous and unique beauty native to the ocean, unlike gemstones which are much harder and derived from the earth. Their elegant aesthetic has historically made pearls a popular choice amongst powerful women such as Jacqueline Kennedy and Michelle Obama who often wore them during official duties. Pearls have also been recognised to be symbolic of purity, wisdom, and serenity – wonderful characteristics to channel on your wedding day and throughout life, whilst simultaneously radiating sophistication.

Create the Look

Our model combines Mappin & Webb diamond and pearl jewellery here for an effortlessly chic look. The freshwater pearl and diamond chain necklace elegantly represents a delicate and modern way to wear pearls. Paired with these freshwater pearl and diamond drop earrings they present the perfect matching ensemble. A contemporary Mappin & Webb yellow gold and diamond bangle is stacked with a Gossamer gold bangle featuring a glimmer of brilliant-cut diamonds either end of the opening for that extra sparkle. To perfect this touch of glamour, a diamond dress ring completes the look.

Dress it Your Way

Mappin & Webb have a great range of stunning pearls and diamonds, perfect for your special day. If you’re seeking a stud earring then why not consider these demure 7mm freshwater pearl earrings with an accent of diamonds, or for a slightly larger stud earring these freshwater pearl earrings are encircled with 0.36ct diamonds for added sparkle and are easily paired with this pearl and diamond necklace.
