Can't find the right jewelry!

I swear I have looked all over and can't find anything that I'm happy with at a reasonable price. I want to be under $100 for earrings and a necklace.

I found some earrings on Macys.com that I like, but I didn't see a necklace that goes w/it. I searched a few dept. stores and didn't see anything. I've browsed a little on Etsy and looked today in the shop at my venue but I haven't loved anything.

Some parts of the embroidery look like leaves or flowers, so I wasn't sure if I should try and find similar looking jewelry. The model only has earrings on, but when I had the dress on I felt like I needed a necklace.

And I like this necklace but it's $150 http://tinyurl.com/3wz5qwu

This is stressing me out.

I think with that dress I would do either earrings or a necklace but both maybe too much. That is just my view though. I say look really hard on etsy I am sure you will find something. I found my earrings on there but takes a long time to look through all the pages and sellers.

Do you think smaller earrings would still be too much w/the necklace?

I don't think you can have "too much" on your wedding day.  It's basically the one day you get to be blinged out from head to toe and nobody will judge you for it.  So personally, I wouldn't worry about if earring + necklace will be "too much."

Have you tried searching Etsy?  I think a lot of the jewelry there is much more affordable.  Ebay has some pretty good stuff, too.

Edit - how do you feel about pearls?  I think a pearl illusion necklace would go pretty well with the dress without overpowering the detail.

I'm undecided when it comes to pearls lol. I've mostly just been looking at crystal/CZ necklaces.

I know how you feel.  Sometimes I just get too overwhelmed with the choices.  FWIW, here are the earrings and necklace I went with.  From Etsy seller Design By Kara (clicky)

Lovely dress BTW.  My first thought was pearls when I saw your dress, but I really like what you picked out, too!  The jewelry is really just your personal stamp, so to speak!   My daughter asked me to help her find something on Etsy and it is really time consuming.  The prices look good but there is soooo much to look at, I found it stressful, too.

My dress is ivory, so pearls could work, I guess I just never seriously thought about wearing them.
