To anyone with some time on their hands or who likes matching jewelry to outfits (I need help)...

peaches85

I'm planning on wearing earrings and a bracelet on my wedding day, but I'm horrible at picking out jewelry (the only pieces of jewelry I ever wear are my e-ring, small silver hoops, and occasionally a watch - I literally wear those with EVERY outfit).  And I have to be careful with earrings because I need them to be nickel-free, so when I look for things in stores my choices are pretty limited.

I really like the jewelry in this Etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Lulusplendor?ref=top_trail) and the owner told me that she can make most of the earrings nickel-free if I want, but I don't know what will look good with my dress... I'm honestly clueless.

So, if anyone LOVES finding jewelry to match outfits or if you just feel like helping me out, I'd really love your help with finding earrings and a bracelet to go with my wedding dress.

I'm posting a few pictures of my dress below, but since TK still hates me and my PIPs no longer enlarge when clicked on, you can see the dress on a model here: http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?style=A3198

The detailing on on side of the dress (those are big round crystals, not pearls):

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!  :-)

Carla (aka lulusplendor) made my jewelry and I absolutely loved it

Oh good!!  Yeah, she seemed really nice when I contacted her a few weeks ago.  Now I just have to figure out what to buy...

You look awesome!

peaches85

Thanks so much, Danes!!  :-)

Does nobody want to help me, though?  I promise I'll be someone's internet b*tch if they help me find jewelry!  Haha!  Pretty please??

I'm not really great at picking that kind of stuff either, but I bought my jewelry from an etsy seller who was really great at it.  I shower her a picture of my dress and gave her a general idea of the look I was going for, and she came up with stuff for me.  It made it much easier on me, just a suggestion.

I think a crystal-ish cuff bracelet would look nice, similar to what I wore....

Will you be wearing your hair up, or down? And are you planning to wear anything in your hair besides a veil?

Hair up (unless your headpiece is really flashy), I like these:

http://www.etsy.com/listing/56778055/rhodium-bridal-earrings-swarovski

http://www.etsy.com/listing/58468060/rhodium-bridal-earrings-swarovski


Hair down, and/or if you are wearing any kind of flashy headpiece, I'd do either of these earrings:

Shand - That's a good idea, maybe I'll just email the owner back with a picture of my dress and see what she says!  Thanks!

Cknud - That bracelet's really pretty and something like that would definitely go with my dress (I think? haha).  Are those pictures of you?  If so, you look aboslutely gorgeous and I love your dress!

peaches85

MaryBeth - AHHHH!!!  I'll totally be your b*tch forever!!  HAHA Thank you so much!

Edit: One of the bracelets you posted has pearls on it with the crystal broach thing in the middle.  Do you think I can wear something that has some pearls even though there are none on my dress?

Yes, and thank you.  I think that style would go well with your dress.  I didn't look at the etsy link you posted, but I'm sure she can make you something similar.
ETA: I posted a different pic, you can see the bracelet better in it.

IMO pearls are neutral.

I think you can wear pearls b/c it mirrors the sheen of your dress.  I actually like the way the pearls breaks up all the bling.  So IMO pearls could wok if you like them.

peaches85

Gotcha about the pearls (ughh, see I told you all I suck at this, haha).

Just keep looking at her stuff, I'm sure you'll find something you'll fall in love with.  I originally had 5 pairs of earrings that I liked and just narrowed them down little by little.
