We’ve been majorly inspired by all things minimalist lately, from tablescapes to floral design. If you love all things simple, this post is for you! We’ve rounded up our favorite pieces of minimalist jewelry to wear on your wedding day. From small hoop earrings to a dainty initial necklace to petite wedding bands, these designs may be simple, but they still make a big statement.

Who Minimalist Wedding Jewelry Is Good For

If you don’t typically wear jewelry, but still want to transform your wedding attire, minimalist wedding jewelry may be the right choice for you. It still gives you the appearance of being dressed up without being too flashy. And the best part? Because the pieces are so small, you can wear them regularly without standing out!

Oh, and did we mention that the style fits quite literally every wedding style? From sleek, modern “I do’s” to romantic vows in the Italian countryside, the simplicity of the jewelry matches every single wedding aesthetic.

Minimalist Wedding Earrings

From huggies to hoops to ear climbers to studs, these minimalist wedding earrings are an easy way to dress up–which is especially important if you’re wearing your hair in an updo–without weighing you down. We know statement earrings can be uncomfortable for some, but that doesn’t mean you have to ditch the jewelry piece altogether.

Minimalist Wedding Necklaces

We love minimalist wedding necklaces because they add a little pizazz when wearing a strapless wedding dress. Junebug tip: get you and your bridesmaids matching necklaces as a wedding party gift! Our personal favorites are the dainty initial chains.

Minimalist Wedding Bracelets

Whether you’re wearing a ballgown, a form-fitting fit-and-flare dress, or a pantsuit, you can never go wrong with a small bracelet. And just like the minimalist necklaces, these too can be worn year-round. To personalize your wedding look, consider getting a bar bracelet that you can have engraved with you and your significant others’ initials or your wedding date.

Minimalist Watches for Wedding

Avoid wearing a smart watch for your wedding day and instead opt for something beautifully modern and minimalist. We love these two watches that will match any wedding style.

Minimalist Wedding Rings

Last–but certainly not least–are minimalist wedding rings. Whether you’re looking for something small to accompany your engagement ring, or you want to stick with just one ring that you don’t have to worry about misplacing or breaking, these minimalist wedding rings are absolutely timeless.

Pale Blue and Grey PNW-Inspired Latvia Countryside Wedding

March 27, 2020 | Junebug Weddings

Helena and Jānis always knew they wanted a Latvia countryside wedding, so they made their dreams come true with a tradition-filled day and a party that lasted all night long! We’re obsessed with all the perfect little details, like the beautiful invitations Alise Kinasta designed for their special day. And if you love all things pale blue and grey, the reception decor planned by Feja will totally make you swoon. Get ready for a shamanic ceremony, midnight dance party, and so many more incredible moments Elina Upmane captured of this couple’s countryside wedding day!

The Couple:

Helena & Jānis

The Wedding:

Private Residence, Latvia

I wanted my look to be unique and timeless, but yet still sexy. I loved the deep back of my wedding dress, the long train, and the see through lace on the top part of my dress. I kept my accessories to a minimal, except I had a very special and talented company in Latvia create a hair accessory to add as an accent to my up-do.

Our ceremony location actually holds a very dear place in both my heart and my husband’s families heart. Our ceremony location is at my husband’s families countryside house. The countryside house was actually gifted to my sister in law (husbands sister), by her godmother. The godmother grew up in that house in the 1930’s, but when the Russians invaded Latvia, and deported the Latvians to Siberia, the godmother lost her family and family home. After returning from Siberia to Latvia, the godmother went back to her family’s house to find other people living there.. she fought for very very many years to get her families house back, and won. Because of my sister in law’s godmother, we were able to have our ceremony in the beautiful countryside, by the house the godmother had grown up in, and say “I do” in front of a huge, old and beautiful Oak tree.

We had a shaman as our commissioner, she walked around our ceremony location prior to the ceremony starting to clear the energy with sage. We also had asked that she remind everyone we wanted to one to use their phones during our ceremony, as my husband and I wanted everyone to be present during our special moment.

Planning a wedding in a whole different country and different time zone was HARD. The most significant piece of advice I was given, that hit me hard was “ Don’t get caught up in planning the wedding you want, but focus on the marriage you want” I can imagine for so many couples, all these tiny detailed decisions can sometimes lead to feeling overwhelmed and butting heads.. but at the end of the day it’s the two people that are getting married, and there should never be a huge fight simply over wedding planning.

Janis and I both knew we wanted a Latvian, but yet Canadian wedding so we brought the PNW (Pacific North West) vibes with us. We knew we wanted to hire the best decorator within the Baltic states, also known as Baiba Prindule from Feja. Baiba created and envisioned an earthy, yet delicate feel, which is kind of what Canada means to me.. Together, we created a bilingual wedding, including our table numbers… which consisted of mine and Janis’s favorite places within Vancouver and Latvia, instead of the old generic “Table 1, 2, 3 and so on”

Besides seeing my husband at the altar, my most memorable part of the day is a Pagan Latvian midnight ritual. Which is when the clock strikes 12, a group of folk people arrive (out of nowhere) at our reception, playing Latvian folk music, and all of the guests including the newlyweds go to a bonfire outside, and different rituals are acted out so that the newlyweds are actually married by this pagan ritual in Latvia.

Take a peek at the looks below to see how our online stylists have styled brides, bridesmaids, and MOB’s for their special day.

BHLDN Hyde Gown Styled Two Ways

For the first look, I began with a very simple airy veil. I pulled in notes of emerald for a pop of color consistent throughout. The look ties together with gold block heels that will let you feel comfortable as you dance the night away.

Shop the Hyde Gown, Montellier Cathedral Veil, Giona Block Heels, Petrie Hair Pin Set, and Verdell Drop Earrings

For the next look, I chose a simple veil with a subtle sparkle – a stunning “something extra” that won’t compete with the rest of the look. I included modern pearl details with a twist and left the accessories delicate here. Last but not least, a modern strappy show with a textured heel for added interest.

Shop the Hyde Gown, Bowen Reverse Halo, Thalia Earrings, Nyx Veil and Dorinda Heels

Jewel-Tone Mismatched Bridesmaid Dresses

Planning a winter wedding? Jewel tones are always in style and what better way to complement your color palette than with a rich selection of bridesmaid dresses!

Shop the Montreal Dress, Brixen Dress, Logan Velvet Dress, Espen Dress, Delice Dress, Jones Dress, Alexia Dress, and Cortine Dress

Boho-Inspired Mix and Match Bridesmaids

Boho-inspired weddings are taking cues from desert views this year, and so are we! Whether you’re getting married out west or not, your bridesmaids will look desert wedding ready in these mix and match bridesmaid dresses. (Pro-tip: The Dahlia Dress is perfect for your Maid of Honor!)

Shop the Charlotte Dress, Alexia Dress, Jones Dress, Dahlia Dress, Plymouth Dress, Espen Dress, Rosabel Dress, and Blaise Dress

Mother of the Bride in Blue Two Ways

No Mother of the Bride wants to clash with the bridal party, which is why I leaned into elegant sophistication with dusty blue. The gorgeous Santiago Dress is a standout in its own right giving mom the attention she deserves without competing with the bridesmaids.

Shop the Santiago Dress, Rue Pashmina in Ivory, Paxton Clutch, Thalia Earrings, and Luriane Heels

For a little bit more of a formal vibe that still feels youthful and laid-back, opt for the Liliana Dress.

Shop the Liliana Dress, Rue Pashmina in Morning Mist, Phyllis Hair Pin Set, Herald Earrings, and Connere Heels
