You guys are going to be sick of my polls – sorry! I’m still not sold on the idea of a necklace but I did find some that I liked. I love the art deco/vintage look. Please let me know your thoughts!
Here is my dress and all my other accessories:
NECKLACE A:
NECKLACE B:
NECKLACE C:
NECKLACE D (WOULD THERE BE ANY WAY TO PULL THIS OFF B/C I LOVE THIS ONE BY ITSELF BUT IT’S PROBABLY TOO BIG FOR THE REST OF MY OUTFIT):

Hrm none of these are my PERSONAL taste, but I am torn between necklace B and C. Are you wanting a statement necklace? Or something simple? When I chose my necklace I wanted a combination of bling, but with some pearls for fun.

@Hippos: I think the first problem is I can’t decide if I should wear a necklace or not. I think with my current accessories, I need something on the simpler side if I do wear a necklace – that being said, I don’t really like any of the “simple” necklace options….I don’t want a plain strand of pearls, I don’t just want a pendant on a chain. Not sure what to do at this point!!

You definitely do not need a necklace with your dramatic and beautiful dress. However, I absolutely love and voted for necklace A, because it’s gorgeous and STUNNING!!! And, most important, unlike every other choice you posted, with necklace A, you will not need to worry about keeping it centered and straight all night during all of your activities so that it will look perfect in all of your pics! 🙂

@AshleyR83: Well I think you’d look great without a necklace! I’m a necklace person so no matter how many accessories I had…I was going to have a necklace! lol. But you do look elegant in your dress w/o a necklace at all!

I’m not liking pearls with your dress. I think you need some bling!
D, however, is a bit too blingy for me 🙂
But A is perfection!!!

@AshleyR83: You’re welcome! The reason you CAN wear that necklace if you want to is that your gown does not have any other bling (i.e. no large, blingy sash, for example) to compete with it. You would look gorgeous with just long, dramatic earrings OR with a more subtle earring and that killer-gorgeous necklace!! I’m already married, but I would buy that necklace myself, that’s how much I love it! Who makes it?! 😀

@maybride2bee Co-Sign!
And it seems to go with the bracelet you already have on to complete the look. I think they will be a total compliment to your already beautiful gown.

I think Necklace A, or something like it. You have a trendy, edgy dress, and B and C to me are both way too traditional. Not that I think they would look BAD, just that they wouldn’t look as appropriate as something that matched the style of the dress. If that makes sense.
I see a smaller (and hopefully less expensive! Sheesh!) version of this looking really great, too:

@Hippos: thank you very much, I keep going bck and forth! I also just called one of my BM’s and sent her pics and she is torn too, ugh. I will just have to find some necklaces to try on with my dress at my next fitting which is not until September!
@limegreenbride: thank you! i’m obsessed with my dress 🙂
@September29: Hmm actually I think you are right about the pearls….thank you for pointing that out!
@Brielle: i found it on etsy! etsy has amazing stuff, only problem is I can’t return the necklace if it doesn’t work with the dress. 🙁 I love it b/c it’s so art deco. So do you think that my current earrings in the picture are subtle enough with necklace A? The earrings are dangly but they are thin, as you can see in the pictures….

depends on the earrings, what earrings will you wear?
