    Hi ladies:

        I'm trying to accessorize my wedding dress which is proving to be really difficult.  My wedding colors are lime and turquoise.... and I'm not into the "traditional bride" look.  I'm not wearing a headpiece or veil.  Instead I wanted to jazz up my look with a really "whoa" pair of earings... or a special necklace (but not both- I feel uncomfortable in a lot of jewellery).  Can anyone make any suggestions?  

     

       This is my dress:

    I was thinking about these earrings... but I'm so worried I'll look at my pictures and think, "What was I thinking?"

    Also...

     

     

      What do you ladies think about mixing metals?  My wedding and engagement ring are white gold... but some of the jewlery I'm looking at is yellow.  Is this a fashion faux pas or am I anal retentive (Well... I am a anal..)

     

       Thank you all.

    I like the earrings!  They are different, but they are really cute I think it will be a fun way to incorporate your wedding colors.   

    I also think that it is ok if your rings do not match your other jewelry.  noone will even notice that (at least I wouldn't!).  Just try to find a necklace that comliments the earrings (if you are wearing one).

    love love love the earrings, and you would totally be able to wear them again after the wedding, which is key in my opinion!  i agree with FutureMrs that people probably won't notice if your jewelry isn't all the same metal.  good luck!

    Those are pretty, pretty earrings! They could be your something blue! I was thinking the same thing about my platinum ring and the gold and crystal jewelry that I tried on with my ivory dress. It went really well with my dress but I was worried that it would clash with the ring. I decided not to worry about whether the metals were compatible and just concentrate on whether I liked the jewelry with my dress. No one is going to notice!
