You’ve heard the phrase: Go Big or Go Home!  Well I certainly subscribe to that doctrine.  That’s not to say that nuances of subtlety and simplicity aren’t just as striking.

I just believe that when it comes to making a style mark, whether it’s design, fashion, music or even your wedding…often times, it takes celebrating bolder choices to really appreciate the minimalist approach.  When a dam breaks, the water gushes before it trickles, right?  Okay, enough with the metaphors.

Here are some more equally sexy choices that are able to make a bold statement, without competing with the main prize: your face.  Like everything else when it comes to style, it’s about the overall package.  Take a look:

You can’t talk weddings without paying homage to the classic look of pearls and diamonds.  The necklaces below the take simple elegance of traditional bridal  jewelry and turn it up a shimmery notch.

…And then of course: color, color, COLOR!  Nothing like a vibrant piece to add a little color to the traditional white look.  Not to mention a point source for your dream palette or color cues.

And there you have it.  I trust this wasn’t too bold for you?  You can handle it!
