Jewelry quandary (PIP)

celticmyss

There are two different sets I really like for wedding jewelry. We're doing a bit of a vintage/art nouveau feel. 

The first set is a tiara I absolutely love but is more than I wanted to spend. However, the full set is about the same price as the other one I am looking at. The downside is that I would be spending more on something I wouldn't ever wear again. 

MoH thinks this set is too "matchy" but I could theoretically buy just the tiara and get plain pearl jewelry to go with it. I had initially wanted to stay away from pearls because they're so typical bridal.  

This set is by an artist I like and whose jewelry I already own a lot of, including that bracelet. The upside is that is is all stuff I would wear again. I am not set on those flowers for my hair but it would be somethign fairly simple.

FYI - my dress and prososed hairstyle is below

OK, it's fixed now. Sorry about that!

oh wow no wonder you love that set - it's gorgeous! Yes, it matches but it's not "too matchy" seeing as it's very basic in colour. The tiara is to die for!!
I'm prob not helping your $$ issue eh? lol

I am NOT a tiara girl, but I LOVE that set, so unique, and while you may not wear it again, I think its somethign you could display near your wedding pictures or soemthing, and it screams heirloom piece to me I say go for it!

I will start with saying I am not a tiara girl and I'm not a fan of necklaces worn with halter style dresses.  I feel like the halter part is enough and a necklace might crowd or take away from the look you're trying to create.  I do love the necklaces though and you could probably wear them another time.

The tiara and earrings are pretty.  However, If the entire set was purchased, I could see myself wearing the earrings and necklace again.  Just not the tiara, unless it was my birthday

I also love the look of the 2nd option without the necklace for wedding purposes.  I would wear it another time.

Yeah, that is one of my concerns. The tiara is the most expensive part of that set and the only piece I wouldn't wear a again. I actually have a sparkly tiara that FH won (long story!) and I am totally wearing that for the after party.

If you are concerned about the price of the tiara, and don't think you're going to wear it again, put that money towards something else that means more to you That's what I would do lol

I really like the first set together. Could you just buy the earrings & necklace and then find something else for your hair? Or is the whole reason you're looking at that set because of the tiara?
