    So, this is my very first post and first off, I just want to say hello to all you lovely bees!Smile  This place is awesome!

    Now, onto my question.  I am having trouble trying to figure out what kind of jewelry to wear with my dress and veil combo.  What do you think would look good?  My dress has beading and little pearl like beads...all in bright white.  I am completely at a loss as to what type of jewelry to get.  My hair will be long, medium blond and half way up, similar to Jessica Simpson's wedding hair in the last 2 pics (thank you, extensions!).  I love the cuff-like bracelets, but should I choose something in silver?  Stick with pearls?  Any advice will be enthusiasticly appreciated.  Thanks a bunch!Laughing

     

    **Disregard some of the jewelry I have on in some of these pics.  I was just trying them on.**

    I would say a double strand pearl chocker (avoid something that draws more attention to your bust!) and filigree chandelier earrings, maybe vintage style like these

    Just be careful because pearls tend to be a little more yellow than your dress is, so you might opt for blush pink pearls or at any rate something that isn't white (that will take away the matching color problems hopefully). Also it looks to me like the color of your skin would do better with an antique silver finish.

    Welcome to the site!!

    I actually like the necklace you had on in the third picture.  :)  Do I see white pearls in your dress?  You could use that theme in your jewelry too.

    PS.  Here's a pretty neat site I found once that might help you get other ideas:

     I would like to start by saying I love the bunny faced lady helping you with your gown LOL!!!! Beautiful dress!  I love the pick up skirt, so gorgeous!!!  I would mix pearls with crystals and go for a textured look to pick up on the embellishments from the gown and give you a nice accent wihout looking overdone or costumy.  I think it's important to keep the jewelry light and airy because the lace on the gown is so delicate and soft you don't want to over power the look with heavy rhinestones or anything.  I design and custum make bridal jewelry so I will attach my top pics but please feel free to visit my shop and talk with me more as it really boils down you what YOU like and your personal style.  Thanks!!!

    I love your dress!I like the neckless you have on your pictures but think it will look even better with some crystal accessories like a Swarovski neckless, or crystal and pearls. The hair pins the picture, are so beautiful, I am sure something like that on your hair, it will look beautiful too.good luck

    I love the hair. I'm no good at accessories, so I'll leave that to the pros :)
