Discover how to style and clean jewelry for everyone in your bridal party. This wedding season, make sure everyone in the bridal party dazzles with gorgeous jewelry, from the mother of the bride, to the flower girls. Here’s a Connoisseurs’ take on what pieces to wear, how to style them, and how to make sure they sparkle on the big day.
Wedding party jewelry in 2026 isn’t about uniformity. Instead, think about jewelry as creating a sense of visual harmony in your bridal party. So, rather than coordinating pieces, move past the generic matching sets, and rather, curate a timeless, sophisticated look for everyone standing at the altar.
Connoisseurs Pro Styling Tip: If a piece of jewelry looks like it can only be worn while standing in a wedding lineup, skip it. The most beautiful wedding photographs are the ones where everyone looks comfortable, radiant, and entirely like themselves.
Jewelry for Bridesmaids
When it comes to matchy-matchy, keep that for fun styling elements like matching getting-ready-robes and satin PJ sets for the night before. Elevate the bridal party jewelry look with different pieces, suited to each member of your party. Pick a single unifying element, like a specific metal tone, a recurring gemstone, or a design motif, and let your bridal party play within those boundaries.
If your bridesmaids are wearing mismatched necklines (ideal for picking dresses to complement different body types), identical necklaces will look awkward. A halter neck needs bare skin or an open back detail; a strapless gown begs for a striking collar or a delicate lariat; a high neck requires you to skip the necklace entirely and focus on the ears.
Connoisseurs Pro Tip: Gemstone Accents like sapphires or emeralds are ideal for coordinating subtly with bridesmaid dresses or your gown's accent colors.

Try anchoring the look with a consistent material, like organic, baroque pearls or warm yellow gold. Style one bridesmaid with structural huggie hoops, another with an asymmetrical pearl drop earring, and a third a clean, modern bracelet. This creates a curated look.
Jewelry for Mother of the Bride
For the mother of the bride, the jewelry should feel like an organic extension of her personal style, elevated for the occasion. Pearls are traditional jewelry for mothers of the bride, but that doesn’t have to mean a strand around her neck. A spectacular vintage drop earring that complements her gown's neckline without competing with it is a great choice.

Meaningful pieces are also excellent style choices, and work as gifts for the mother of the bride. Choosing a necklace with sentiment brings an element of thoughtfulness to her look. Gold is an enduring metal that looks beautiful and timeless on any skin tone.
Dramatic statement pieces are also on the table. We love a gemstone that plays off the colors of the wedding theme without matching it exactly.

To complete her piece, consider giving the mother of the bride a more splurge-worthy La Sonic Safewave that she will use to keep the piece she wore to your wedding sparkling for years to come. It may turn out to be a piece that’s passed down through generations, so she’ll want to take care of it.
Jewelry for Flower Girls
For the flower girl, the key is safety, comfort, and sweet proportions. Skip the heavy, dangling pieces and choose delicate, low-profile items like a tiny pair of studs, a sweet chain bracelet with a single meaningful charm, or a gemstone necklace. As it’s customary to offer the flower girl a gift for her participation in your ceremony, give meaningful pieces she can wear and treasure for years to come. We love gifting her our non-toxic Jewelry Cleansing Foam to help her keep her jewelry sparkling long after she skips down the aisle.
