Pearls are to Charleston brides what oysters are to the Lowcountry—a natural pairing. And with style icons like Grace Kelly, Coco Chanel, and Jackie Kennedy as notable fans of the “jewel of the sea,” who are we to argue with its timeless place in fashion? Whether your gown is ivory, white, pink, or patterned, pearls are always a great fit—for you and your bridal party, too. Here are some of our favorite ways to wear them of late.
