Just a month to go and super stuck on jewelery!

Gryphons

I had my final fitting today and I brought all of my bits, and I'm not sure that I like them anymore.  I'm starting to feel like I don't even know what *kind* of thing I might want. 

This is what the dress looked like today with me in it and all my bits on.  The hem and lacing area in the back aren't done and the skirt is being regathered - so it's still not totally complete.  Also she's putting cups in to sit my boobs up on, ha.




Any help?

Love that you are rockin the red!!! You look beautiful! Did you ever think about wearing a "chunkier" necklace and braclet?

I agree-- something more noticable might be good. The pearls seem like they are getting lost in the photo and with the fun feel of the dress you can get away with louder accessories.

I agree with the bolder jewelry. Well, I ALWAYS want bolder jewelry, so I'm not help

I just found out that my favorite antiques fair is next weekend - so I've been browsing ebay and etsy for a vintage or vintage look multi-strand pearl necklace with a chunky clasp that I might want to wear to the side...I think that's my necklace answer - but I'm holding out for something at Brimfield that I can try on...we'll see.  Thanks for the input!

The pieces work. The hair style doesn't.  The slicked back hair does not match the fun feeling of the dress    Is that the planned hair style?  I think a softer hair style would work better with the dress.   The shoes, crinoline and ribbon rock.

That's just my hair in a bun so it's out of the way for the fitting - and no make-up and very little sleep.

Gah, that third one is glorious.  I also secretly enjoy the Betty Rubble huge set...but worry that it's too chokery.  I found a choker to leave too much space between my head and the top of the dress.  I'm going to see if I can find something that's actual antique in the spirit of that third one.  I also like this one: http://www.etsy.com/listing/91411532/rhinestone-and-pearl-bridal-necklace - and might see if she can do it in gold.  I also like the red on this one - but think they look cheap : http://www.etsy.com/listing/96281949/vintage-marvella-pearl-and-red-high

DIY:  I picture this with a red or ivory bow, or a red brooch!

Pretty dress! Love the style and the pop of red in your crinoline! If you want something really unique and vintage, try Zillas Queen on Etsy. I personally like her stuff better as it's less traditional. She does customs too. I got mine from her and I can't wait to wear it for my wedding! This link is to her Etsy shop.

Get a RED necklace to pick up on the red in your dress and shoes. The white pearls disappear into your skin and don't stand out at all. That dress NEEDS standout jewelry.
