    Hi everyone! :)

    This is my first post here, I hope you guys can help me, I bought the dress below, the neckline is not as high as the picture shows, just a little bit lower, I'm confused as to what kind of necklace to wear (if any), I'm leaning towards pearl.

    I'm also not going to wear my hair in an updo because they don't suit my face, I have long wavy hair and I have no idea what kind of hair acccessory to get, will a veil be too much considering the long train? I can't seem to know where to start :(

    I did a Google search on a few different necklaces. Since your neckline is high but not as high as the pic, maybe a chocker. However, I don't feel this dress needs a necklace. Especially with your hair being down.

    with that neckline and your hair down, I think I'd skip a necklace - some dangly earrings and a pretty hair clip/comb will be just the right amount of accessories.  I don't know if a veil will work since the dress has a lace train already.

    I agree, skip the necklace! How about some teardrop pearl earrings?

    Thanks everyone, those earrings look really nice, I'm going to go with dangly earrings and no necklace then. Still not sure about the viel, it's sort of a tradition in my country (along with the updo) and I don't feel like I should be breaking two traditions at the same time so I still have to figure that out, I'm not very fond of Pronovias's suggestion on their website:

    Because of the dramatic neckline, I think simpler is better with the accessories.  I think a necklace would only distract from your look.  For the same reason, i hope you keep your long hair behind your shoulders, maybe only partially swept up with a pretty clip with the veil cascading down from it. After the ceremony you have the option to remove the veil and just kep the clip in place

    A veil would look beautiful with this dress! Since your train is long, I think you could get away with anything from an elbow length to cathedral length.

    I agree with the other comments as well. Some long earrings would look nice with your dress whether you decide to wear your hair up or down.

    @hunnybee123:  I love cathedral length veils, I just don't know if they will suit the dress, people have been telling me that I should get an elbow length one. I'm also afraid that wearing my hair down will take away from the beauty of the neckline but I'm going to take that risk because I know I will regret wearing my hair up if I do, I never wear it up and feel a lot more confident with it down.

    Thanks a lot :) I love reading everyone's opinion.

    I love your gown! The bodice is also lovely and a necklace will just detract from its beauty. I

    agree with the others that you could just get blinged out earrings and a bracelet.

    I would go without a necklace and do dramatic earrings.
