Is a Bridal Choker Necklace Right for Your Wedding Look?

When deciding on your wedding day jewelry, it's important to consider the dress neckline and fit of your outfit. A necklace should be able to stand out and feel in tune with your overall look. While a bridal choker will likely look too busy with a high or halter neckline, it pairs well with a sweetheart, square, portrait or off-the-shoulder neckline. A bridal choker necklace that has more volume or waterfall-like details can also work beautifully with a deep-V or plunge neckline.

You also should consider what other jewelry you'll be wearing with your ensemble. Long or large statement earrings might clash with a bridal choker, as well as any hair pieces you may choose to wear. The key is finding the right balance between all the elements.
