Wedding Accessory questions!

[cammy85]

I know there are always questions about what accessories to have with a specific dress. And I''m in the population that has no idea what to do at all.

This is my dress:

So first of all, this dress is so much more girly than I''m used to, but I absolutely fell in love with it - organza pickups and crystal and tulle detailing. Over the weekend I tried on the dress with 6-7 different styles of necklaces (silly me didn''t think to try it on with different earrings, oh well) and I for sure want my jewelry to be of the crystal kind - pearls just looked too heavy with the other delicate details of the dress.

I can''t decide if I want elegant ''bling'' chandelier earrings and no necklace or smaller earrings and a necklace. Also I was wondering if blue crystals in the jewelry would be too overbearing (the BMs are in blue).

I''m not sure if it''s a factor, but I also can''t decide either if I''m going to go with a flowy chignon (as opposed to slicked back) or a loose half-up/half-down (attached pic).

Any suggestions for jewelry and/or hairstyles would be greatly appreciated!

Here is my $0.02....

With that dress I would go for more ornate earrings (chandelier) and a simple simple necklace (like a solitaire pendant or something) or no necklace at all. Your dress has a lot of detailing on the top and that gorgeous voluminous skirt that I don''t think you need a whole heck of a lot of accessories. If you want to incorporate "something blue" into your accessories why not use a hair clip with some blue accents in it? Or a bracelet.

I like the way the model''s hair is styled in that picture so my guess would be for the half up-half down look you showed in the attached photo. Then again, some brides are more comfortable with their hair all up. I personally am a huge fidget and endlessly play with my hair so I will probably do something up, but not slicked back. If you are a fidget like me you might want to consider putting it all up in a chignon.

Love the dress by the way! The organza is really beautiful.

hi- your dress is beautiful!!! I also have a sweetheart neckline and have heard that a drop necklace is best...I actualyl found a really pretty set at Macys a week back - I am doing CZs and pearls....

I would say to check out the internet as well - there is a designer (thinik it is called cheline) on Amazon that has really beautiful fun pieces....all in its easier to find the CZ /Crystal styles.

go with whatever catches your eye and you love...dont worry about what other people are going to think!!!

Thank you so much already for your insight (and your compliments!) I am leaning towards earrings (with minimal or no necklace) and hadn''t even thought of a bracelet - that''s a fantastic idea! I will definitely have to check out Macys, and there is a swarovski retailer around me that I was going to scope out as well. I rarely spend a lot on jewelry, and I do want to treat myself to something nice, I am so worried I''m going to be indecisive and second guess myself..I guess it''s better than second-guessing my dress of my FH!

If anyone has any veil suggestions I''d be greated appreciative as well! (I figured it wasn''t worth starting a whole new topic!) I don''t know if I want one tier or two (ie the second tier would be the blusher and then flip back), what would be a good length, or what embellishments (if any) it should have!
