Pearlcore and the Rise of Pearl Wedding Dresses
From pearl wedding dresses to bridal accessories with pearls, pearlcore is here to stay and we’re not mad about it!
Known as “the Queen of Gems”, pearls have long been a symbol of elegance, sophistication, and purity making them a perfect choice for weddings. In ancient Greece, they were believed to be the key to a happy and long marriage. For Romans, pearls symbolized social standing, and only the elite were allowed to wear them. During the Victorian era, pearls became a popular wedding gift, often added to wedding gowns or given as jewelry to the bride.
Today, pearls remain a major part of bridal fashion, offering a sense of timelessness that few other embellishments can match. For those of you who seek to blend tradition with contemporary style, a pearl wedding dress might be the perfect fit!
