    I am wearing a boat neck wedding dress and I am kind of stumped on what accessories to wear with it.  Do you have any suggestions?

    This is the dress.

    I love that dress! You look awesome in it. I think I would nix the necklace and wear some sparkly, dangly earrings.

    A big pearl cuff could be great with that dress, too.  I agree--no necklace needed, but earrings would be great.

    I think some dangly earrings and a bracelet would be great.  I agree - ditch the necklace.  It's just complicating the neckline.

    SO CUTE!  I agree with everyone else too, no necklace, just some cute earrings and maybe a bracelet if you want.  Pearls would be gorgeous with the dress!

    oh my goodness, I looove your dress :)  You hit my two soft spots, boat-neck and lace! heh  I would nix the necklace, and go for jumbo pearl stud earrings, and a multi-strand pearl bracelet.  Something that stands out but doesn't compete with your dress..and totally vintage looking. But I suggest pearls all the way :D

    Ya I was on the fence on the necklace too.  It is actually an original wedding dress from the 1950's!  I found it at a vintage couture store in Toronto.  It is super fragile and beautiful I don't want to do too much to take away from the dress itself.
