I love connector necklaces, and I love color. I’m planning on making my necklace, because it will cost about half as much as paying someone else to do it. These are my photoshop mockups. My colors are red and teal, and my wedding board is at the bottom. You can ignore the earrings. I’m making those next, but I haven’t put much thought into them yet. I will wear earrings and a necklace, and I’m not worried about it being too much because I have a simple dress. All of the stones are quartz (probably lab created).
1: Red ovals, Teal Ovals, Emerald Rounds, Sea Green Rounds
2: Red Ovals, Teal Ovals, Emerald Rounds
3: Red ovals, Teal Ovals, Sea Green Rounds
4: Red ovals, Teal Ovals, Teal Rounds (not positive whether rounds and ovals are same shade or just similar)
My dress:
My wedding theme ect. so far:

I really like the option 3 with red/teal/light green, but I think option 2 compliments your colour scheme better! What great colours, so luxe romantic together!

It’s hard to decide between the first two, because they are both so pretty! On a side note, the cake I picked out is like the exacttt same as your pic!

@kakers: I’m glad you like my colors! Do you think the 2nd one goes better because the emerald green looks more teal?
Also, my dress isn’t really as champagne as it photographs. Its really closer to blush/ivory. And all of the necklaces would have 12 stones. (My photos have 14 stones because I was pasting the stones I would use onto my inspiration necklace which has 14 stones. I think the ones I’m purchasing are slightly larger than the ones in my inspiration necklace.)

I know at least 10 people have voted in the poll. Anyone else want to weigh in on why they like some of the necklaces more than the others? I’m leaning towards 1, but the poll is still pretty close.

I love #1. I like the combos of shapes/shades best in the first one although they are all gorgeous!

Any other thoughts? Its still a 3 way tie right now and I was hoping for a landslide.

@asscherlover: that’s exactly it! The emerald def looks teal-y to me which really keeps everything in the same colour family. I think 1 and 3 look almost like you’re adding another colour into your scheme while option 4 is maybe a bit dark?

I voted number one but I am a little uncertain about the different shapes. Did you look at it with all round or all oval or a pattern. I feel like it needs either all one shape or a distinct center stone.

@kakers: Yea 4 is too dark (and boring) for me, but I had already made the mock up so I threw it in just in case. 1 makes me really annoyed FI vetoed having ombre bridesmaids (3 girls in same dress but different shades). It would have looked perfect with that. My sister liked the second one best too until I told her what my ranking was and then she switched hers to match mine.
If the 3 way tie doesn’t fix itself here then I’ll have to send pictures to my mom and FMIL. The only problem there is I’m 90% sure FMIL won’t like any of them (she thinks I should wear clear crystals/diamonds) and my mom doesn’t like loud jewelry (she wears diamond studs and a plain gold chain everyday). I know that my FMIL will be polite and let me wear what I want (she’s awesome about having opinions but not forcing them on me and only offering them when asked). Maybe my other bridesmaids will give me their opinions soon too.
I’m also debating making new options which are symmetrical (12312321321) instead of a 123 or 1234 pattern. The other thing I could do is add a dark pink (which is technically in my colors and will be in the flowers).
