    ...I show up with my snazzy new earrings I just bought for my wedding day?

    I'm going in for my final fitting tomorrow (hopefully I get to bring my dress home!) and I really want to wear my new earrings to see how they look with my dress. Should I just wait and try the whole deal on at home? They're really dangly chandelier earrings. Would you think I was a weirdo if you were working on my dress with me and I popped in my earrings?
    This might be a silly question, but I'm seriously wondering!!

    i think for your final fitting you should wear them so you get an idea of the whole look. i dont know how big your mirrors are but they always have the 360 mirrors which helps a lot. I say bring a camera also so that a friend/family member can take a picture so you know how you look like in pictures. Hope this helps! how exciting!

    HAHA! Thanks :) I'll most likely be going to the appt. in some gym clothes (something easy to change in and out of) that would be hilarious if I walked into her shop in a track suit and these:Will my seamstress think I'm a weirdo if... :  wedding Prettyearrings

    Thanks girl :) I'm going to my fitting alone (everyone's busy) so I might have to make it even more awkward for the poor lady and ask her to take a picture of me! haha!

    A little bit!
    The bust was a little loose when I tried it on last, she's taking it in as much as she can, but there's only so much she can do... so I told her I would get a push up bra to fill the area out a little better so I'm hoping what I got works!

    Oh, I went to all my fittings alone and had my seamstress take several pictures of me with my accessories-- headband on or off with the veil, etc.  She didn't mind at all, and I'm sure she didn't think I was weird.  And if she did, who cares?  Try not to worry too much what other people think of you-- most of the time, other people are way more concerned with themselves to worry about what kind of earrings you have on, you know?  :)  Those earrings are gorgeous-- love them!

    I live in Chicago, my wedding was in Ohio, my final fitting was over a weekend me and my then FI went home.  I brought my jewelry and my veil with me to my final fitting to try everything together.  We even took pictures!  My seamstress didn't mind a bit, but I also couldn't go try the dress on once I brought it home.  I brought it home and it immediately went upstairs in a closet so my husband couldn't see it.  I think your seamstress will be fine with it, I'm sure it's not the first time she's had a bride do something similar!

    Love them! I say wear them. When else will you get to do something so fun? Actually, I think my consultant at DB mentioned that when I come for my fittings I should bring all my accessories and shoes with me...

    well if that's the case then I'm sure my seamstress thought I was an uber-weirdo.  I often scheduled my hair and makeup trials on the same day as the dress fitting so i could see how everything looked together.  I would try on jewelry and my veil during the dress fitting too!

    I thought it was fine!

    Thanks girls!

    I wore my necklace and earrings and all she said was that she thought they were very pretty! I worry about silly things sometimes :)

    @amariem! That's such a good idea! My hair trial is next tuesday, but my dress wont be ready until next friday. That would've been fun to be able to see them together!

    @gocubbies No problem!! Enjoy! :)
