    Hi ladies! I'm buying my girls real pearl necklaces as part of their bridesmaid gifts. I want them all to wear pearls, and they all don't have the same color. So which looks best with the dress? They are all the same, so I'm just looking for opinion on which looks best and/or which is better to have afterwards. Thanks!  Sorry pics are so big

    Probably white is the best for afterward b/c it's the most versatile, but most people probably get white pearls at some point.  The golden pink is a great color, would look great with that dress, and I'm sure would be worn afterward as well.

    Cute dress, BTW.  Is that a BM dress or off-the-rack?

    White pearls are always classic. However, the goldish pink ones are also beautiful! They could definitely wear those again, as they also look like they'd be pretty versatile. (And they match the dress pretty well.)

    I actually like the ones that the girl has on in the picture. I like the dark against the light fabric. If not grey, black or brown, I'd go white.

    I like the first and the last they are both versatile enough to use for the rest of their lives.  Love the dresses!

    Man, this is STILL a tough decision. I'm leaning towards the last ones though....my mom likes them a lot. *sigh* difficult!

    I would go with white just beacuse it is more traditional and they'll probably wear them more often.

     

    good luck!

    I like the last one.  I voted.  :-)  While I agree that white pearls are the "standard" I would think that they'd be a gift from like a husband/boyfriend, or for a graduation, etc.  Not really for your friend's wedding, you know?  I think the goldish pink ones would look awesome with that dress.  Or, like another poster said, a dark grey.  I was actually going to do this originally, but changed directions several times and I'm now making the necklaces using Swarovski pearl beads (they're glass, not "real" pearls) from firemountaingems.  All my BMs are married and such, and already have their pearls.  The Swarovski beads come in a ton of colors, too.

    I do see what you're saying about the white ones...the pearls I've gotten have been a birthday present from my parents. I guess if a guy doesn't know what to get his lady, that's a good closet staple, eh? 

    Here are the bracelets I made the girls if that helps.

    I said #2, but Ithink htere is a point about the white ones being worn more often.  Tough one.  But on the bright side, I don't think you can go wrong.

    I voted for white just because it is the most classic.

    I think the golden pink necklace is beautiful. I don't think that will limit their future use at all! Any choice is nice and I'm sure would be appreciated, but I really do like the golden pink.

    I voted for the golden pink pearls. The color is gorgeous and the warm tone goes well with the bridesmaid dresses (your mom is awesome for making them btw ). And now that you've shown us the pretty bracelets you've made for your bridesmaids (seems like handy creativity runs in the family!), I think they're a perfect fit.

    But on the other hand, a strand of white pearls is always classic...You really can't go wrong with your choices. What a great gift!

    Thanks to everyone who voted and gave me some feedback! I'm going to go with the golden pink ones. Their boyfriends/husbands/fiances can buy them higher quality white ones.

    These are only like $7 apiece after i order 6 of them. My mom commented that the white ones may look *more cheap* than the colored ones, and she really does have a point. These aren't $40 strands of pearls! 

    Thanks!!!
