    Hello Ladies,

    I posted a topic here a few days ago about my necklace and bracelet [Picture2]. So I was talking to my mom and sister tonight. They thinks it might be too much bling (because my dress has a lot of details too) [Picture 1] , but they suggested that I can wear another necklace [Picture 3]. My mom bought it for me this year for my birthday. The little pendant is a moneky, and its name is called Monchhichi. I love this monkey and I have a lot of items (e.g. stationery, over 60 stuffed toys) with it.

    My concern is... will it look too childish? My FI doesn't like it because he thinks it is childish. I think it will be very unique and special. (FIY, I am mid-twenties)

    Its your day so whatever you love, I think you should do! In my opinion, I think it looks too childish for a wedding and doesnt really match the dress.

    Also since that dress is so detailed... I wouldnt wear a necklace and just wear a small bracelet and pretty long earrings :) That just my opinion though!

    i wore the same necklace/bracelet as your #2 photo!  it was gorgeous in photos

    but i do agree that since your wedding dress is somewhat elaborate, it may be too much, you're better off with just simple pearls, or all rhinestones, but not pearls+rhinestones. 

    if i were you, i woulnd't wear the necklace with cutesy pandant.  it's not timeless, one day you will look back and say "what the heck did i wear".  that necklace may be appropriate for rehearsal dinner outfit, or a second wedding-day outfit.

    I really like the monkey necklace, but I don't think it will go with the dress.

    I think it looks childish, and I also think any necklace will be too much for this dress, I would just wear some drop earings and a cuff.

    No to the monkey necklace.

    You would regret that in wedding photos.

    I think the other necklace is a bit too much with your gown also- perhaps just some blingy earrings??

    the monkey necklace is a bit childish,  and wouldnt really look great with your dress,   but the other one is really lovely and I would love to find something like that for myself,   where did you get it?

    I would keep it simple with your jewelry since your dress has a lot of detail.  I personally don't think the monkey necklace is something you should wear on your wedding day.

    Hmmm thats a toughie... follow your heart or do what look 'right' in photos??

    I do like the second pic a lot but if the monkey is what you want then go with it. I would think it would be cute if the moneky necklace's wasn't so white. Is it stark white like the photo or cream?

    Your gown is WAY too beautiful to be worn with a playful monkey.  Wear it to a different event insead!

    I agree that the bodice has so much beautiful detailing that no necklace is needed.  I absolutely agree that the monkey necklace is not appropriate for a bride, regardless of the age.

    I personally would not wear the monkey necklace. I feel like it's very juvenile and will seriously take away from the beauty of your dress. If you're attached to that necklace then why not wear it for your rehearsal or another event like @melisslp said?

    I'm sorry but I agree with everyone else. The top bracelet and necklace is far more elegant and fitting with your dress. The monkey just looks childish, cheap and so unrefined. If you are really set on it though, can you wear it for another event? Your rehearsal dinner or on you honeymoon for example?

    Its really cute and you obviously love it...what about wearing it for the reception (for having fun) and wearing something more classic for the ceremony?

    Thanks ladies! I totally understand what you gals suggest! I guess I will save the monkey necklace for some other use instead!

    I think the "blingy" necklace you got would look beautiful with your dress. Because it's strapless and the necklace looks shorter, I think it would complement the details of the dress rather than take away from them.

    I agree that the monkey necklace is a little childish for a wedding and definitely doesn't match your dress (maybe with a simpler dress and a funky wedding....). Plus your FI already said he didn't like it, so I wouldn't wear something for the wedding that i already know would bother him!

    I don't think it will look stupid... I do think the first necklace would go better with your dress though.

    I guess i'm the odd one that loves the necklace. I wouldn't wear it as a necklace with that gown though, since there's so much going on with the beading. But you obviously have a playful side you want to convey. Maybe you could use it to wrap around your bouquet or something?

    I was also going to suggest using your monkey necklace (or a similar charm) as part of your bouquet wrap. That would be cute. :)

    Monkey necklace does not go with the dress at all and it shouldnt be worn with a wedding dress or for a wedding, however you might be able to add it to your bouquet somehow? the monkey charm at least if you really have to have it in your wedding.

    The kawaii necklace is adorable, but not for your wedding day necklace. I agree with incorporating it in your bouquet, that you're still expressing yourself... just in a different way :)
