Girls, it’s time for Grad Gab!
June is the month of all things Graduation! From Middle School to University, students everywhere are brushing away the stress of years of hard work and celebrating with the people who were part of their journey.
Arguably one of the most memorable graduations as a young woman is High School Grad - not only celebrating the end of school but the transition into adulthood, girls all around the world will forever remember this day, and of course, what they wore!
By now you know that at Austen Jewellers we carry a unique array of jewellery! We want to share with you our favourite gift ideas for those girl grads, and how to pick jewellery pieces to match this year’s top dress trends!
2022 Top Grad Dress Trends
The dress code for grads is always a hot topic of discussion, here's what we found is sure to be on the “prom runway” this year.
Single Shoulder
One-shoulder dresses are sure to be popular this year. The asymmetry of this style attracts attention for all the right reasons - that extra uncovered skin is the perfect reason for a flashy necklace! Our 3-tier diamond pendant is the perfect statement piece to pair with a single-shoulder gown.
Fitted Styles
Along with fitted gowns go fitted hairstyles, hair pulled away from the face and ears - the perfect opportunity to rock a unique earring! The 14Karat dangle earring is sure to catch and eye.
Bright Colors - think neon
Sterling silver is typically known to match with jewel tones, we think neon will compliment just as well! Check out the Elle Brand Sterling Silver Necklace for inspiration.
Leg Slits
Legs for days, but what about those arms? How about pairing a leg slit gown with a classic diamond bangle to bring attention to your top as well.
Grad Picture Spots in the Foothills
At the end of June we see nothing but graduation pictures scattered over all social media platforms - in front of a limo, walking down the stairs, in front of the school - why not stand out this year and take some snaps at these local Foothills beauty landscapes?!
Located just west of Okotoks this phenomenon makes for a pretty awesome backdrop, standing taller than a two-storey house!
Backing onto the Highwood River the park offers plenty of photo ops. Heavily treed areas are in full bloom in June and there is even a stage for the girls to strut their stuff in a runway fashion shoot!
Located downtown High River the diner showcases decor right out of the 50s!! You're sure to capture a statement photograph.
This Okotoks Cafe is designed to look like you’re inside of a 2D colouring book from the door frames to the floorboards! An Instagrammers dream come true.
