Do you want to look as elegant as your favorite celebrity on your wedding day? Whether you adore Gwenyth, Beyonce, Halle, Angelina, Sandra Oh, Cameron Diaz, Kate Hudson or any other megawatt actress, you can easily emulate her superstar style without much effort. It’s easy, because contrary to what you might think, looking like a star does not require you to hire expensive stylists, amass a titanic budget or have ‘friends’ who lend like Harry Winston and Fred Leighton. All you need to know is what jewelry style works with your dress, how your personal style fits in, and where to find the ultimate bridal jewelry. Then, simply work your confident attitude like your favorite celebrity to carry off her superstar look. You’ll be a stunning bride on your big day for sure!

To get started: Think about your favorite celebrity and her signature look. What about it appeals to you? Her effortless elegance? Her flair for drama? Her always-fresh take on an old classic? Steal the best of her looks and make them fit your own. Then, consider whether her style works with your bridal gown, your personal style, and how you envision your big day. For example, if you love Drew Barrymore for her earthy bohemian chic and you’re having an outdoor beach wedding, you’re good to go. Look through recent photos of her and see what jewelry she wears with her boho outfits, and how that might translate to wedding day jewelry. (To get Drew’s signature style, don’t forget to tuck a flower behind your ear.) On the other hand, if you love Jennifer Lopez’s sophisticated style but you’re having a laid-back afternoon affair, save the sophisticated look for another time, say, your bridal shower or rehearsal dinner.

Now that you’re thinking about which popular wedding jewelry style fits with your ceremony, select the category below that most closely matches the look you’re after. Read on for specific tips on choosing the perfect bridal jewelry that will have you looking and feeling as if Nicole Ritchie loaned you her stylist for the day.

• Classic: Simple, clean crisp lines, loads of delicate lace, white pumps or strappy sandals, and a traditional veil or pillbox hat define the wedding style we all call classic. Think Grace Kelly in her real-life wedding to Prince Rainier or Mena Suvari in the movie “Rumor Has It” and you’ll get the picture. Accessorize the classic look with simple, elegant accessories. A classic diamond or pearl pendant, possibly in a heart shape, paired with delicate pearl and diamond earrings or simple pearl studs are all you need. On a budget? Adorn Brides (find them online) is a great place to lease gorgeous classic wedding jewelry. (You can lease a $10,000 necklace for $330). Looking for pearl bridal jewelry styles? Conduct an Internet search on ‘pearl jewelry’ or ‘freshwater pearl jewelry’ to find affordable pearl styles you can wear long after the wedding. Not sure what bridal jewelry combination will work best? A delicate pendant paired with classic pearl studs and bare wrists is a look that never goes out of style.
