Everything You Need to Know About Wedding Earrings
We caught up with Instagram sensation and TV makeup artist, Hannah Martin, to ask her all of our burning wedding earring questions and find out more about her collaboration with Scream Pretty.
Can You Wear Hoop Earrings to a Wedding?
"Everything about a wedding look is so personal and should be a true celebration of individuality so if you want to wear hoop earrings, wear hoop earrings! I personally love how versatile hoop earrings are, particularly how a charm hoop can elevate any look. As a make-up artist, I love how the lustre of pearls complement all skin tones and so almost all of the hoops I’ve designed with Scream Pretty feature pearls in some form, from statement charm baroque pearls, classic drop pearls and our brand new pearl huggies that are layered with touches of sparkle"
Can You Wear Both Earrings and a Necklace to a Wedding? Do Your Wedding Earrings and Necklace Need to Match?
"Of course, if there’s ever a time to go all out, it’s a wedding! I like to mix-and-match my jewellery but one of the most important considerations for any wedding accessory is that it complements the dress. Diamonds and pearls are like salt and pepper, they are a timeless, classic duo that work effortlessly together – why not wear a classic pearl necklace and opt for something more opulent across the ear? Or, if you’re wearing your hair up, curate an ‘ear party’ for maximum impact."
How Do You Pick Your Wedding Earrings?
"This is something Scream Pretty and I worked really carefully on when designing our new collection, as there are so many factors which can affect the style of earrings you’d choose. From the ‘drop length’ of an earring and how that can alter an overall look, both style and make-up to how you’re wearing your hair – are you wearing it up?"
Do You Need to Match Your Jewellery with Hair Accessories?
"If anyone is unsure I’d recommend sticking to something delicate and classic, but if you’re someone who likes to make a statement with your jewellery in your everyday, then why not bring that to your wedding day? Play with different options from chandelier drop earrings, pearls, charm hoops, huggies and studs to find the perfect fit. Jewellery can be very sentimental and I think ultimately it’s about wearing what suits you and your style!"
