- Statement Necklaces: Anchor your bridal ensemble with a signature piece, whether it's floral-inspired, Art Deco, or rich in vintage glamour.
- Something Blue: Incorporate serenity and symbolism with aquamarine, blue zircon, or sapphire tones, elegant tributes to loyalty and love.
- Brooches & Pins: Add one to the bouquet ribbon, veil comb, or train. It's a discreet way to honor a loved one or carry something borrowed.
**Color Theory & Styling Inspiration:**
- Gold: Tradition, warmth, timeless elegance
- Pearl: Purity, legacy, and grace
- Blue: Emotional calm, loyalty, and faithfulness
I design for the bride who wants to feel like royalty and look like herself, only more radiant.
- Heidi Daus
Pair these looks with ivory, blush, or soft champagne tones for an ethereal finish. Your jewelry should move with you and become a piece of your story.
Mother of the Bride: Graceful, Glamorous & Poised
While the bride holds a bouquet, the mother of the bride wears hers in the form of breathtaking floral jewelry. These pieces honor femininity, legacy, and the nurturing spirit of a woman who's helped bring this special day to life.
**Floral Jewelry as Tribute**
- Floral Statement Necklaces & Earrings: Choose rose, orchid, or garden-inspired motifs to mirror the bridal bouquet.
- Cuff Bracelets & Pins: Use dramatic florals on the wrist or shoulder to add sculptural beauty without overwhelming the ensemble.
- Soft Shimmer & Movement: Select pieces that reflect light in subtle ways, such as pearlescent finishes, pastel crystals, and delicate vines.
**Color Palette & Symbolism:**
- Pinks & Petals: Compassion, maternal love, joy
- Gold Accents: Wisdom, pride, and richness
- Pearl Details: Grace and timeless elegance
When the bride is holding flowers, I love the idea of her mother *wearing* them.
- Heidi Daus
These pieces don’t just complete the look—they become a symbol of the bond between mother and daughter. Choose styles that echo the emotion of the day and photograph beautifully.
I always say a mother of the groom should walk into the room and *own it*. This is her day too.
- Heidi Daus
Mother of the Groom: Elegant, Empowered & Effortless
As the mother of the groom, you play a central role in one of life’s most treasured days. Your look should embody grace, wisdom, and regal confidence, without needing to say a word.
Heidi Daus designs for women who lead with elegance. We recommend embracing cool, collected tones and refined silhouettes that honor your presence.
**Regal Elegance in Every Detail**
- Chinoiserie-Inspired Necklaces: Sophisticated yet artistic, these nod to culture and timeless design.
- Blue-Gem Accents: Blue zircon, sapphire, or aquamarine echo serenity, strength, and wisdom.
- Structured Earrings & Bold Bracelets: Combine curves and polish for a clean, modern statement.
**Color Theory for Calm Authority:**
- Blue: Communication, loyalty, composure
- Silver & Hematite: Modern elegance and mystery
- Pearl & Navy: Tradition, dignity, and strength
Dress in a way that commands admiration without seeking it. Jewelry should feel powerful yet poetic, just like you.
Wedding Guest: Stylish, Joyful & Occasion-Ready
You’ve received the invite, now it’s time to dazzle. Whether you’re celebrating seaside, garden-side, or under chandeliers, your jewelry should reflect the energy of the day and your individual flair.
**Style Guidelines by Setting:**
- Garden or Outdoor Wedding: Think floral pins, pastel necklaces, or nature-inspired bangles.
- Formal Evening Affair: Opt for Art Deco, chandelier earrings, or dramatic jet crystal pieces.

Even if you're not walking down the aisle, you still deserve to sparkle.
