    Hi Bees,

    I'm searching for jewelry to wear with my dress:

    What type of earrings would look good?  I'm a sucker for chandelier earrings.  But would they be too much?  Also would a necklace be too much?  What type of necklace would you suggest?  Any ideas would be awesome.  Thanks!

    I don't think chandelier earrings would be too much. I would go with no necklace, personally. The dress already has so much wonderful detail and I would hate to take away from it.

    On the other hand, A simple pearl bracelet may look nice.

    Beatiful dress, by the way!

    Thanks for the advice! :)  I agree that the necklace would take away from the dress.  Good point. I was going to ask FI for a bracelet for Christmas to wear on our wedding day, so I think I'm going to go for pearls.  Thanks again! Now I get to do some shopping!

    I'm a fan of picking one or the other -- flashy necklace or flashy earrings.  I think chandelier earrings and no necklace would look perfect with that dress.

    I agree you should go with either earrings or a necklace, not both.  The dress has a lot going on so that might be a bit much to wear both.  I tend to like most dresses without a necklace, so my vote would be for some statement earrings!

    I love the chandelier earring idea--especially because you said you're a sucker for them! You definitely still want some of your personality to shine through on your wedding day! Beautiful dress too!

    <div id="fullimage_link1"> Thanks, bees, for the advice.  I agree necklace or earrings and I think I'll go with earrings. I kind of like the first ones from etsy.  They have more of a hand made look.  (I would leave out the blue and replace it probably with clear crystal so they're extra sparkley. 

    The second ones are pretty too.  But maybe not enough "goody" (sparkle, bling) for me.

     

    Thoughts?

    These are pretty too, but not chandelier style... I really would want them to pop below my ears and not get hidden in my hair.

    I actually think you don't need a necklace for that dress! It's a beautiful dress, but it has ALOT going on! Earrings would be your best bet!
