"We're seeing a lot of playful statement earrings in the bridal scene, moving away from the normality of white diamonds and incorporating bolder and more colorful stones in the mix. Polly Wales Estelle Earrings from the latest Stardust collection are a great example of how you can wear a fun statement piece during your special weekend. Go ahead and stand out!" — Brielle Forman

"There's something a little anti-bridal about hoops, which is probably why I'm loving the idea. I think Danielle Frankel showed a few looks with hoops for S/S 20, and it feels right. The good news is that there are endless iterations, so if you lean a little more classic and white gold/white diamonds are your thing, that works. I can't help but go for something a little more unexpected, like heavy yellow gold from the '70s like these from VCA." — Jill Heller, vintage jewelry expert

"The demand for a new, updated hoop has been a nonstop request. A classic discreet huggie just won't do the trick these days, with something more substantial and attention-grabbing is now the key look." — Francesca Simons

"Oversize earrings have serious staying power where bridal fashion is concerned for two reasons: they complement a variety of necklines (like sweetheart, off the shoulder and v-neck) and they cast light on the face, accentuating your features in an uber-flattering way." — Shelley Brown
