Possible mis-matching disaster?

The dress I have chosen is white with a hint of champagne from the underlying layers of fabric. I was thinking I'd get gold sparkly shoes. Our table centerpieces also include some gold accents. However, I am not a fan of gold jewelry. My ring is white gold and I was planning on wearing silver earrings and a silver bracelet as well. Would this look bad? Would it look weird to mix gold shoes &centerpieces with silver jewelry?

Re: Possible mis-matching disaster?

  • Nobody is going to compare your dress to the centerpieces. Likewise, nobody is going to compare your shoes to your jewelry. It all sounds lovely. You're overthinking things.
  • I don't think your centerpieces need to match your dress or accessories, so I wouldn't worry about that. As for the shoes/accessories, it depends on how type A you are. I am pretty type A and specifically got silver shoes to match my silver-toned bridal jewelry and platinum engagement ring/wedding band.  However, some people wear mismatching jewelry etc all the time and don't think anything of it.  So it really depends on you.  
  • personally, i think that metals look nice together. maybe i just like shiny things!? but i don;t see a problem in mixing metals, and i agree that you don't need to worry about the centerpieces.
  • Out of all the weddings I have attended, not once did I even consider the centerpieces not matching the bride's attire. 
  • I think you will be ok.  I've been to a lot of weddings in the past year and thinking back on it, the brides wore silver jewelry while having one of the accent colors at the reception be gold! 

    I don't think people notice these things so I say you should do what you want, it's your day!

  • Wear what you want and what makes you happy.

    I generally wear silver-toned jewelry (including my engagement ring, and my maternal grandmother's engagement ring, which I wear on my right hand), but will be wearing both silver and gold toned jewelry on my wedding day.  When she passed away my paternal grandmother left me a gold and diamond necklace that my grandfather had given her.  I plan on wearing the jewelry that both of my grandmothers left me when I get married, and if anyone doesn't like that it all doesn't match, that's their problem.

    Silver and Gold are neutrals, and go with everything, including eachother. :)

  •       I'm wearing the opal jewelry I inherited from my grandmother and it's in a gold setting. My engagement/wedding ring is silver and my headband or tiara will most likely be silver. 

          I've been to three weddings in the last year and I honestly can't tell you if all of the brides metals matched or if her gown matched the table linens. 
  • WAY overthinking.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14
