Amazing Necklaces to Wear on Your Wedding Day

Once you've found your perfect wedding dress, it's time to think about accessories. While your big-day shoes and a veil (if you choose to wear one) are important aspects of your overall look, we'd say that it's your jewelry that really ties everything together. And though earrings, bracelets, and rings are all nice finishing touches, there's something about completing your bridal look with a necklace that almost always works. That's not to say that you can't wear multiple types of jewelry on your wedding day, though—you can easily pair a necklace with a bracelet or wear a delicate choker and a set of stud earrings for a cohesive look. You could even layer a few different necklaces together for a modern, personalized accessory moment.

Whether you choose to wear a necklace you already own, borrow one from a beloved relative as a sentimental "something old," or splurge on a pretty piece you'll wear on your wedding day (and well beyond!) as your "something new" is entirely up to you. As long as you choose something that works with the rest of your big-day look, you can't go wrong. To help you start your accessory search, we're sharing a selection of necklaces that are special enough to be worn on your wedding day, but universal enough to get plenty of use out of in the months and years to come. After all, if you're going to invest in a new piece of jewelry, you want it to be in an item that you'll love and wear long after the wedding is over.

From lockets and chokers to pendants and simple chains, there are plenty of beautiful, unique options here to appeal to every bride.
