[img]http://tinyurl.com/nch7os[/img][url]http://tinyurl.com/l7fy9q[/url]That IS a fabulous dress! I like it with no necklace. I don't even really think a bracelet is necessary, but if you wear a bracelet or necklace, keep it really simple and delicate (a think chain, for example).Since the dress is so organic looking, I feel like it needs something cool and unique for your hair, like this[url]http://tinyurl.com/mhl6ve[/url]Or this[url]http://tinyurl.com/msfl7z[/url]Or a pretty flower fascinator (there are dozens on etsy), with earrings to coordinate.

I think all you need are great earings - definitely could go vintage/antique.  I would say drop or chandelier.   You could do a bracelet as well.  I wouldn't wear a necklace.  I would love a jeweled clip or flower for your hair, and going with the old-hollywood waves would be very nice.Here are a couple hair looks that might be nice:up-do: http://www.misquincemag.com/cm/misquincemag/images/Zoe-Saldana-front-de.jpgdown: http://www.talkingmakeup.com/pics/news/amer50.jpgI think a long sheer cathedral length veil might be nice actually.  Do you plan to wear it for the whole night or just the ceremony?

What a beautiful dress! I would do some drop earrings, a floral hair accessory to go with the dress, and a long veil. The dress is so pretty, so I wouldn't want anything too over the top to take away from it.

That dress is STUNNING! LOVE it! I agree about the no necklace. I'd do FAB earrings and a great headpiece. I'd go vintage-y with everything. I think a bracelet would be nice, but I also think it's fab without it too. For veil, I TOTALLY see birdcage.

Wow, that really is pretty! I agree with PP's, that having either a minimal necklace or none at all would look nice. I think it would look stunning with a birdcage veil with flowers (orchids or stephanotis) or a vintage bejeweled pin in your hair. I think chandelier or tear drop earrings with rhinestone/diamonds or pearls would round it out nicely.

I agree, stunning dress! A question girls about the fab birdcage veils -- do you leave this over the face during the ceremony, for the kiss??

He could lift during the kiss...they are easy to lift up and kind of cover over the head.

Your dress is beautiful. I would definitely go with vintage style, but with a softer edge, maybe like the 1st one on the 2nd row here-http://www.vintageheaddresses.com/vintage_tiaras.htmlor maybe a large side detail comb like this sort of thing-http://www.vintageheaddresses.com/hair_accessories.htmlor even a soft organza flower -lots available at etsy.com

roxy, Would you consider selling your dress after your wedding? I fell crazy in love with Jim Hjelm's 8962, but it is a bit out of my price range. No pressure Thanks, Lauren

P.S. Ring_Pop, The pic you posted isn't 8962 (but it is still beautiful). Here is the proper link http://www.jlmcouture.com/Jim-Hjelm/Bridal/Fall/2009/Style-8962

Hey Lauren - yes considering the hefty price tag I am definitely willing to sell my dress after the wedding which is June 5, 2010.  What is your wedding? What size are you? WHere are you located? Thanks.

Roxy, I'm 5'8 and wear a street size 4 or so. My wedding isn't until May of 2011, but I LOVE this dress so I figured I should act fast. If you would like, you can email me at frostl@mailbox.sc.edu and we can talk details.
