THE BROOCH
The rise of statement jewellery has been happening for many years, the focus predominately on earrings and necklaces whose reincarnation seem to get bigger and bolder each time. Brooches tend to be an afterthought - perhaps unfairly still considered an out of date accoutrement favoured by older generations.
However brooches in all shape, size and iteration have been cropping up on some of the biggest runways - Chanel, Erdem, Lanvin, Gucci and Marc Jacobs - for the past couple of seasons and it turns out they can be a very fashionable and memorable accessory.
Brides should consider their value and flexibility - adding some eye-catching embellishment to an otherwise plain dress or jacket, replacing a necklace at the centre neckline, clipped to shoulder straps or providing some sparkle on the cuffs of a coat.
Brooches offer a style savvy alternative to the classic earring / necklace choice for a more modern, individual statement. As they come in all manner of colours and jewels it’s easy to find one which will add the perfect finishing touch to your wedding look, and outfits for years to come.
