Dress fitting #2 (even MORE pics)

[alli_esq]

Hi, everyone!

Well, I''m no closer to figuring out what necklace to wear...I really don''t want to buy something new (wedding budget''s already stretched to the MAX), but I''m not feeling any of the neckline options with the earrings...maybe some of you can help?

The dress was taken in SOME, but she had to take it in another 1/4-1/2 inch on both sides. I don''t know if you can really see how much more needed to be taken in (oh, yeah, in the boob area too. awesome.), but there''s that.

Okay, so onto the pics.

Okay, so that is my strand of pearls--and here''s a closer-up image of them too...

I''ll let you all form your own opinions about the necklaces, and I''ll tell you my feelings later...

Here''s a photo with my friend''s veil (I''ll be borrowing it from her as my "something borrowed"

)--my hair will hopefully look A LOT better the day of the wedding, haha!

Here''s a photo with my mom''s pave heart necklace...

Here''s my mom''s pearl pendant with a yellow gold DBTY...but the earrings and brooch are both silvery in color...

This is the necklace I showed you all last time--pear-shaped diamond with baguettes..

And here''s with no necklace...

My friends bought me this "replacement" for my bachelorette (yes, it DOES light up!)

Okay, enough picture bombarding! Any suggestions for the necklace situation would be much appreciated!!!!

I think you need something with a bit of sparkle to add to the brooch (which you should totally use!). How about something like this?

I like the pearl pendant, I think it looks really regal and romantic in a Rococo kind of way.

I love the pearls with it. They have a classic vintage feel, to go with your classic dress and vintage earrings and brooch.

Agreed. Pearls - 100%!

Gorgeous dress, btw!

 

[Snicklefritz]

Looks fantastic!

 

[princesss]

Add me to the pearl lovers. I think they are gorgeous with your dress!

 

[oddoneout]

I like the pear shaped diamond or the pearls. Both seem very simple and classic. I love your dress.

 

[joelly]

I also like the pear and the pearls. Both are complimentary to your dress.

BTW, you look good!!!! I wish to look as good as you in my strapless dress. I didn''t think I would wear a strapless dress but it seems to look good on me at my first try. My dress will be ready in Dec. I''m so nervous. Cross my finger now so I can look as good as you.

I will say that I''m not a huge fan of the pave heart pendant with your dress, only because it''s a heart, and your neckline is sweetheart. Too many hearts going on, the shape throws me off. Like the little one is trying to mimic the big one...if that makes any sense. Sorry it''s early still!

 

[Clairitek]

From what I can see, you are a gorgeous classic beauty. I think the pearls are perfection with your classy gown and elegant, delicate collarbone area.

Love the fakey ring! Now I''m going over to Rocky Talky to see if you''ve told us about your replacement diamond.

I like the pearl pendant! You have a lot of skin showing up there so it seems like you need something that hangs
down a little bit. I also like how your dress dips in the middle (sweetheart part) and the pendant hangs down
lower there.

 

[sonnyjane]

I love your dress! I like the strand of pearls best, just a personal preference though. Oh, and I had the same "engagement ring" for my bachelorette party lol!

Pearls or diamond pear pendant.

 

[MagsyMay]

Add me to the pearls or diamond pendant camp. I think with the bow and broach on the dress, and the sweetheart neckline, you don''t need a ton of extra accessorizing! The pearls are classic, which I love, but the diamond pendant is also beautiful and understated.

You''re going to look fabulous no matter what you choose!

 

[Luckyeshe]

I personally like the pearl pendant with the DBTY. But the pearl strand looks lovely as well. Either of the pearl necklaces would look great with your dress!

 

[kstar512]

I generally love a strapless dress without a necklace. I like clavicles, lol, is that weird? I have to say though, there is something so classic about a strand of pearls on a bride. I love them.

My votes:

1. Pearl pendant -- I think this is the best look, classic and feminine and delicate. Goes well with the neckline.
2. Strand of pearls
3. Diamond pear pendant.

The pave heart doesn''t really work, IMO. Any of the other three would be lovely but I think the pearl pendant is the best.

 

[that_someone_special]

Def pearl pendant... then the strand of pearls.

PEARL PENDANT!!!
