Founder of Lulu & Boo gives advice on picking and styling big-day jewellery

Corinne Whillock, founder of sustainable and ethical brand Lulu & Boo offers expert advice on choosing and styling wedding jewellery this summer. She tells us, "Jewellery should complement the dress, not compete with it. It's about enhancing the silhouette and drawing attention to the bride, not overpowering the look." Corinne adds, "The key is balance. If your dress has a detailed neckline, opt for more refined earrings or skip the necklace altogether. Simpler gowns allow you to be more expressive with statement jewellery like drop pearls." Corinne also offers this advice, "Unlike the dress, bridal jewellery is often worn long after the wedding day. It becomes a keepsake. So choose something you would see yourself wearing again."
