Necklace or no necklace!

Hey everyone!! I found and ordered my dress a few weeks ago and now I'm trying to decide on accessories. I've always been awful at pairing jewelry and so I hardly ever wear it. I can't decide if a necklace would be a good choice with this dress or if I should just stick with earrings and a bracelet? Any opinions would be really appreciated!! :)

    Pretty dress! I would totally not do a necklace with it unless it's really really simple (like a single drop pearl). But I wouldn't even do simple. The dress's neckline and back is gorgeous - it doesn't need or want anything.

    This. Definitely no necklace. Gorgeous dress!

    Thanks you guys!! My sister said the same thing, so as opinionated as I am about most aspects of the wedding I'm thinking the no-necklace is probably the way to go. I'm definitely not very "accessory smart" lol ;)

    My dress is very similar to yours as far as the lace straps/sleeves and all lace in the back and I'm not doing a necklace. The lace speaks for itself in both the front and back, it's really the main feature of the neckline/shoulders..no need to clutter that area up!

    Actually this is the first time that I'm going to say that a simple necklace with a pendent would look good. When you go for a fitting, if the bridal shop has accessories, see if they can "Jack you up" and try a few different accessory looks. You don't have to buy from them, but it's a great place to try on different looks with your dress. And remember, even if you decide to wear a necklace, it's ok to change your mind at the last minute and skip it.

    It's a gorgeous dress!  I am a necklace person, so I say a simple one could be pretty. 

    Something like this could be pretty.

    @ShannonLeigh1979 Yes!!!! This would be perfect with that dress. Per. Fect. I'm not much of a necklace person but when I first looked at the neckline of the dress and the sparkle at the waist, I was thinking it just needed something little, like this!

    I agree with the simple chain and pendant. It will softly accent your face I think.

    No necklace.  There are very very few wedding dresses that need or, I think, look good with a necklace.

    I am a less-is-more person, and with the details and beauty of that dress I would definitely say no necklace!

    No necklace. Too much clutter with the sleeves, etc., and especially with hair down.
