Bloom Styling: The Pearl Edit

“Pearls are always appropriate.”

You simply can’t go wrong with pearls. Etherial yet classic, we’ve all seen them as an icon of fashion and class cemented by the likes of Coco Chanel and Jackie Kennedy. The sea’s most precious jewel has been celebrated in haute couture, royalty and bridal designers since the beginning. For the bride who wants to make a statement without over-the-top bling, pearl accessories are anything but predictable when worn in less traditional ways. 

The natural softness and colour of pearls pair with whites, ivories and creams, making them a bride's best friend for easy styling with almost anything. Pearl drop earrings and baroque pearls are a crowd favourite for a reason; they’re effortlessly glamorous and complement your dress regardless of style. We are seeing pearls make an appearance in more unexpected ways too, from strap detailing on the dress, to pearl headbands and necklaces. Even our favourite veil designer Harriette Gordon is a pearl connoisseur, weaving these beauties into her veils for delicate and unexpected details.

From the veil to the shoes, it’s a subtle yet sophisticated addition to any outfit. Paired with gold jewellery or simply stunning on their own, choosing a pearl piece for your special day is never a bad idea. Browse our pearl edit to see some of the newest pieces from our favourite designers.
