    I am getting married in a beautiful garden of a victorian mansion surrounded by vineyards.  I really wanted to find a necklace with an art deco/vintage style in sapphire and champagne color crystals.  This is the best so far-is it too much?

    I think they're beautiful...but I wouldn't wear both the earring and the necklace. I'd just choose one.

    I'd wear the earrings.  The necklace is going to compete with the top of the dress.

    You look great in that dress!

    I love it! But I agree with PP, one or the other, but not both. I like the necklace personally. Will you hair be up or down? That makes a difference too.

    Gorgeous dress.  I think I'd consider looking a bit longer for something closer to what you have in mind.  Assuming your date is correct you've still got some time to search and I think that there might be other pieces better suited to your dress.

    My hair will definitely be down with hair flowers and a cathedral lenth simple veil (not what is pictured).  Thanks for the compliments and advice-will keep this peice in mind but will also be looking more.  Thanks!

    I like the necklace with it! I was hoping for a statement necklace too.

    Yay!!! Another wine country bride.  I live and am getting married in Santa Rosa on June 23rd.  I love the necklace.  I don't think just anyone could pull it off, but you've got such a naturally classic look.  Hourglass figure + hot red lips + that necklace = will be fabulous. I bought some vintage blue rhinestone costume jewelry from ebay but I will be transforming them into hair clips (something old and blue). Congrats.

    Oooooo, you look WONDERFUL in that dress! Yay, another vintage lover! I myself am a vintage fanatic. In my opinion, I'd really just stick with the earrings. They'll add a great touch of sparkle & color, without it being too much. Putting the necklace on along with the earrings would take attention away from how great the dress looks on you. So, I'd either put on the necklace or earrings, individually. YOU LOOK GORGEOUS, CONGRATS!!! XOXOX

    You look beautiful in your dress and your skin is so lovely. I would go for the necklace but not both.

    I have to say that I really love them both! But I think it can be too much. Maybe you can try and post pictures wearing each one and both together? That might give you an idea aswell of how it would look. You could switch, like for the wedding ceremony you can wear the earrings, and the necklace for the reception. Just a thought! And you look amazing in your dress and veil :D

    Love the dress and jewelry! And like the others have said, I'd chose 1, not both! Both might be too much :) So pretty
