Perfect for the big day, pearls are everywhere right now and we have found the perfect website for you to get inspired...

Symbolising love and purity, it is a long tradition for the bride to wear pearls but that doesn't mean to say you are stuck with a traditional look. Freshwater pearls give a really modern twist to your dress while faux pearls mixed with diamante look totally fab and glamorous. For everything pearly, we are loving new website, Girls Love Pearls. You'll find a huge selection of styles to choose from and a great online styling tool: click on your dress style, whether it's strapless or sweetheart, then choose which necklace works best.

Here are some top styling tips from Girls Love Pearls...

Off-the-shoulder gowns: the Choker - worn close around the neck is traditionally from one to three strands, although many modern designs have up to 60 strands of finely ‘floating’ pearls creating a wonderfully luxurious effect.

Plunging neckline or strapless: the Collar is a traditional Victorian style - usually of three or more strands this fits snugly around the middle neck.

Strapless gowns: the Princess falls below the hollow of the neck in front, usually adorning a pendant - and suits almost any style bride.

Low neckline: the Matinee is longer than the princess, usually falling to the top of the bust line, just above the top of the dress, and looks fabulous with a bateau, jewel or a lower neckline with lace/sheer fabric covering the de colletage area.
