    Hello Hive!

    I'm a "non-bling" kind of bride and generally like things kept simple.  The best way to describe our wedding style is rustic-vintage and low-key.  My dress is actually a bridesmaid dress.  On the left side of the dress, right below the bustline where there is a small ribbon, I will be adding a vintage rhinestone brooch that belonged to my grandmother.  Right there, between the headpiece, brooch and shoes, to me, seems like a lot.  I plan on wearing my hair in a loose chingon with a headpiece I bought today on Etsy.  (LOVE that site btw). 

    I am completely clueless about what to do for jewlery.  I hadn't planned on wearing a necklace.  Is that okay to do with a strapless dress?  I would like some pretty earrings and maybe a bracelet.  I don't want to be the too much or too little bride.  Also, if the brooch on my dress is on the left, which side to place my headpiece?

    I am uploading pics of my ensemble thus far.  Thanks for your help!!

    My dress was strapless, and I didn't wear a necklace either.  I think your dress would look great with the accessories you have, and some delicate earrings and a bracelet would be perfect too!

    My dress is strapless, too. I am wearing a necklace, but it's a simple diamond solitaire pendant. Maybe if you do decide to do a necklace, you can go with something like that.Maybe something pearl instead of diamond since you're not crazy about "bling".

    I don't think your look is over-accessorized so far. It seems like you're at just the right spot! I love the idea of using your grandmother's brooch by the way. :)

    I think if you wanted a necklace some pearls would look really nice.  It would look nice as a bracelet and earings as well.

    Maybe a neckless, or a nice headpiece

    Everything looks good so far.  If you wear a necklace, keep the earrings simple.  If you want to wear bigger earrings, I say veto the necklace.  I hate it when people wear too much sparkly stuff.  I'm a less is more kinda girl.
