Your wedding-day look should be one of balance. If your dress is super glam, then you'll want to choose accessories that are a bit more subdued. If you love a good, strong earring, you may want to find other simple pieces that allow your more statement-making jewelry the opportunity to pop. That's where a simple, delicate necklace comes into play. Your wedding accessories don't have to be over-the-top to be beautiful, and this is especially true of necklaces. In fact, a dainty chain and barely-there pendant often make just as much of an impact as a chunky, more embellished piece does. To help you top off your big-day look, we've pulled some of our favorite delicate wedding necklaces that can serves as the perfect finishing touch to your bridal look.

Just because a necklace is delicate doesn't mean it doesn't have details that draw the eye. Whether you're into something super simple or prefer a dainty piece with an antique vibe, there are many ways to wear a delicate necklace on your wedding day. You could go for a super classic gold or silver solitaire necklace, with either a tiny round-cut, baguette, or trillion diamond as a pendant. Vintage brides might love some pavé, teardrop, or cluster details. Modern Mrs. might gravitate towards a sexy lariat or gem-studded geometric charm. Diamonds aren't the only precious stones worth wearing either: There are plenty of opal, pearl, and sapphire options to mix up your big-day gems, too. Another fun option? Layer a few of these delicate picks for a mix-and-match look that's entirely your own.

Whichever necklace you choose, these extra-special pieces can be worn on your wedding day and well beyond. Delicate necklaces are timeless and versatile, and you can wear them just as easily with jeans and a tee as you would with a once-in-a-lifetime gown, so you'll surely get plenty of use out of any piece you select.
