Hi Bees

So i've got the dress, waiting for my veil, but i am totally stuck on Jewellery. To start I thought I wanted everything really plain and simple but now I am not so sure. My (kinda) theme is a modern take on a 1940/50s hollywood glam look. My dress is fishtail/mermaid as to me that shape dress epitomises that hollywood glamour look and it has a slight sweetheart neckline - again another feature that I think shouts out 1940/50s I may be wrong but thats just what I think. My dress is a modern take and isnt vintagey, nor do I want my whole look to be too vintage - I dont want to look like im doing fancy dress and when I tried on the more vintage dresses thats how I felt - i love them but they just didnt feel right on me! I am not sure on the jewellery front whether to go with vintage inspired chandelier earrings and maybe no necklace, or whether to go more subtle and wear a simple stud and pendant set, whether to wear bracelet or not etc etc. My veil is a birdcage and I am wearing a vintage inspired hair piece which is silver with diamantes and pearls on, i'll try and get some pics...any help, ideas, suggestions much appreciated...

my dress but mine is light ivory

Similar to my hair comb minei s bigger and (I think) much prettier

@MidnightSun: I am normally very minimal with my jewellery too, on a day to day basis I wear my engagement ring and a few simple silver bangles I inherited off my mum, I was thinking with it being my wedding I should 'go all out' but I think I agree with you, simple is best I dont want to over do it, plus I may not feel comfortable too blinged up when normally I am not. I might even buy a cheap pair of chandelier earrings and a cheap pair of studs and just try them on with the full ensemble after I have my hair trials then go from there. And yes it is the ariel :) xx

I got mine from Ebay, there are 1000's on there, some amazing some not so amazing lol, I literally sat one whole afternoon and went through every single one that came up until I found 'the one', I knew what I had in mind but I just couldnt seem to get it spot on, the one I chose comes pretty close to what I wanted. I also found a website through this one, called Glitzy Secrets they have some really nice ones on, and they are reasonabely priced too. P.S how do you tag some one in a post I dont think I am doing it properly :) I am a newb

Thanks imageeksowhat these are the ones I have seen and really like, I think they are so pretty, but they are quite 'blingy' Ive also seen a much more vintage looking pair (cant find a pic) and i think (but maybe its just me) that they follow the flow of my dress, they seem to match the beading etc

p.s i was reading your post about flower crowns earlier and just couldnt decide which one was the best - they are all so beautiful 

these are the vintage looking ones
