African American Weddings

****Updated at 10:20am***Need Help from the EXPERTS!

Hello Sissys! I really need some help. I am looking for a necklace for my bridesmaids.  my wedding colors are navy and coral.  My girls are wearing navy dresses with coral shoes. I wanted to give them coral necklaces, but i really cant find ANY at all.  Please help.  I found just one that I like, but they only have two and I need 11 of them. EEK!  Initially I wanted to just go for the coral pearl necklaces and earrings but I am finding it impossible to find them.  So here is the necklace I found that I REALLY LOVE and it would be perfect for my girls.  I have included a picture of my shoes also. If any one can help me find more of these or help me find an alternative I would greatly appreciate it.  I am looking for earrings and a necklace.  Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. I have been looking for two months but I have not found anything.  PLEASE HELP KNOTTIES

  • Have you gone to Charming Charlie?  They have every color you can think of it that store.  It is accessory heaven.  LOL!   They have a website but you can't order from there and it doesn't show all of their available products unfortunately.  The closest store  to you would be in Annapolis Mall since I see you are in Baltimore.  The other two locations in Maryland are in Bowie Town Center and Oxon Hill. 

    I will look around on the internet today and come back to post if I see something.

    It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.

    I did go to Charming Charlie. I LOVE THAT PLACE!  But actually since it is a summer color they dont have it in stock right now here in Maryland.  That's the bad news. The good news is I am going to Florida on Wednesday for Thanksgiving and they have a charming charlie's down there. The sales lady said that because it doesnt really get cold down there they may have soem coral jewelry.  So I am going to go there next week, but in the mean time please keep an eye out for me on the internet.  I have been looking and it has been quite vexing for me.  ARGH!

    Charming charles is a good idea.. I was in a wedding last year and she got our jewelry from Forever 21. You could also do gold accesories and incoporate the coral in the shoe. i like that shoe.  I am going to look around as well.. And i def think you will something in Florida.

    Also, Morgan posted something a few months back about Sassy South.. Have you looked there?

  • I remember you saying something about this before. I remember MrsSmith asked something about if you were having a Matron and Maid of honor. If so Like she said I would let them wear that and then find something else for the other girls. 

    I went and searched high and low and cant find anything similar. 

    So could that be an option for you ?
  • I was in my cousin's wedding a few years ago and she bought us turquoise jewelry but I thought it was cool that she bought us all something similar but not the same. So I guess what I am saying is that they don't have to wear all the same jewelry unless that's really what is in your vision. I am guessing they are all wearing the same dress?

    I have 11 brides maids. Because of the variety of sizes ranging from a size 2 to a size 30 I opted to choose a color and let them pick the dress.  The color is the marine from David's Bridal.  Since they are wearing different dresses I was really trying to get them in the same jewelry and the same shoes.  I was successful on the shoes, but having a hard time with the jewelry.  I may try to figure out had to make some pearl necklaces in coral if I have to.  But I figure there has to be something somewhere. I may have to wait until the seasons change unforunately.  So it seems that check wont be happening for a while. Unfortunately!

  • Ok guys I found this necklace when I got some advice from another blog.  Do you think this necklace is dressy enough for the wedding. It is an after 6 wedding.  This is one of the dresses, but for the most part they all pretty much look like this give or take afew things.

  • Is the store where you tried to get the necklaces from Ruby Plaza?  If so, they have the exact necklace on there for sale.
