what about winding the necklace in your hair (if you planned on having it up)?

That would have been awesome!  Buuuut I'll have my hair down...

It's decided!  I will wear the bracelet and earrings with the qipao and wear the necklace for the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner

I agree with PP.  Skip the necklace with the qipao and wear it at the RD instead

Damn Girl!!! You're gorgeous The gold totally compliments your red hair! Also, congrats on having an awesome FMIL. There are so many posters on here who don't have the best IL's so hearing that someone actually gets along with theirs is great.

@antoto  Could you possibly weave the pearls into your hair style some way?  Just another alternative...

Weesh

That's a beautiful dress!  I'm glad you came to a decision you feel comfortable with.

Beautiful qipao!!  Yes, a necklace would not look right with that dress.  I think that should be saved for the RD...but DEFINITELY check with your FI first to see if that is ok with your FMIL

Yeah, I agree with this.  JUST to be safe I'm going to have him mention it to her.  If she gets reallllly upset I'll just wear it and not worry.
