Best Jewellery Looks for Destination Weddings

Destination weddings focus on crafting special memories in special settings - whether that be a tropical beach, fairy tale castle, or lovely mountain setting. Traditionally, brides (and guests) wear extravagant gold jewellery set with precious diamonds and gemstones as a sign of affluence and luxury. However, the associated cost and often the weight, have encouraged many modern couples to look for beautiful alternative valuable metals.

Today, silver jewellery has begun to rise in popularity as a unique option - all the appeal of gold metal jewellery without the high price and weight! Unlike gold and platinum, silver is much easier to work with; artisans are better able to design detailed and intricate pieces of silver jewellery that combines traditional with modern, and generally is a much more valuable price point. Silver is the perfect metal option for destination weddings when the jewellery needs to be visually appealing but must also provide a sense of practicality for transport, climate, comfortability, and the travel experience, all while being just as beautiful and meaningful.

The Importance of Jewellery in a Destination Wedding

When choosing jewellery for a wedding away from home, you will need to balance style, practicality, and your budget. Gold and platinum combinations with diamonds are always timeless, but they can be heavy or delicate for the destination, rather heavy on the budget, and will often require extra attention while you travel. Silver jewellery offers robust, lightweight pieces with amazing detail and artistry that add charm and splendour to the lively settings of destination celebrations.

As couples and wedding guests are selecting their wedding attire, silver has become popular due to its reasonable price, but there is a little more to it than that. Not only is silver more easily accessible at a great price point but it is a metal that is known for its auspiciousness as well- a form of luck and blessing. The malleability of silver allows couples and wedding guests to demonstrate their unique personal style and creativity with custom, bespoke design and manufacturing. Silver jewellery has now become a trendy yet practical option reflecting the moment while being elegant and comfortable.

The Styling Philosophy

Beach Wedding: 

Look for items that are true to the elements - delicately beautiful pearl chokers, shell accents, and soft ocean blues in gemstones will bring sun-kissed effortless beauty to your bridal glow. Look at necklace and earring set options that make travel light and don’t hold moisture/ humidity. Don't have it be too heavy, so it is comfortable for wearing through hours of tropical heat.

Palace or Heritage venue:

Classic heirloom jewellery belongs here. Luxe layered polki necklaces, oversized chandbali earrings, and intricate accessories that embrace a royal touch, with added luxury for your bridal silhouette. Emeralds, rubies, and gold plated/or 925 silver accent will add that subtle twinkle on your bridal sentiments.

Tropical or Mountain Escape:

In a whimsical fairytale setting, embrace fun shapes - a brightly colored statement earring, bold chunky cocktail rings, and enamel decorative accents. Designing with amber, turquoise, and coral lends itself to the story and creative spirit of adventure and celebration! Mix your medal finishes, layer pieces together, and make new creations that give a whimsical, care-free feel that can keep up with all your dancing and outdoor fun.

2025 Trends:

Modern destination wedding jewellery for 2025 will feature:

Bold and Big Gemstones: Emeralds, sapphires, and rubies, often in mixed combinations for an artistic expression. Statement pieces are the new Normal. 

Minimalist sparkle: straightforward lined, geometric, or single stone- solitaire jewellery that relies on a sense of understated, opulent luxury.

Vintage-revival: Filigree work; oxidised jewellery or heirloom-style chains that simultaneously express nostalgia and modern-chic

Sustainably conscious options: Brides are investing in ethical moissanites or ethical silver, focusing on vintage and sustainable options that fit within your eco-conscious values.

How to Plan for Destination Wedding Jewellery

Pack smartly: Spruce up your jewellery game, packing only incredible and well matched pieces to mix and match that can flow fabulously with all of your outfits and activities. 

Coordinate: Jewellery coordinates with your attire and venue or location of the wedding. You want your jewellery to be suitable for and complement the sketch of your wedding, but also the dress code of your guests. 

Comfort: For outdoor weddings and celebrations that last all day, consider light weight designs and smooth finishes that will suit the climate (meaning avoiding overly precious, fiddly designs that will experience something with moisture).
