Heartbroken over accessories

The story behind these three images...

First is the picture of my dress. Pretty much ever since I had gotten the dress, I envisioned the earrings to go with it which is picture number 2 of the diamond shape.

I wanted to try on the earrings before purchasing, however they were not available at a store near me where I live in Texas. My fiance and I made a trip over the summer to New York and knowing there was a Saks there, we walked in together for me to purchase my wedding earrings. Unfortunately, they were not there. I showed the picture of the earrings to the sales lady who proceeded to tell me they didnt have them nor did she think they were appropriate earrings for my wedding. She then pulled out the third pair and exclaimed that these earrings were way more bridal appropriate. My fiance agreed with her. I figured since my fiance liked the earrings, that I should just get them.

However...I've been pretty upset about it ever since. Im not even sure anymore if the lady was just selling me on another pair of earrings. Whats wrong with the first pair? I absolutely LOVE them. 

On top of this, we ended up going to a wedding over the summer and I saw a girl wearing the second pair of earrings as a guest. Gosh...if a guest can get away with wearing it to a wedding, then clearly they arent my definition as bridal earrings... I dont know. I'm just torn about the whole thing and felt like my fellow knot brides might understand and have some suggestion as to what I should do.

Wear the earrings you want to wear.  If you really love the diamond shaped ones, then I say buy them.  From what I can tell on the Saks website, they describe the length of them but not the weight.  But if you aren't worried about that then I think you should just order them.

Personally, I would prefer the second. If you love the first pair, regardless of what anyone says, I would order them online. You could always return the pair you don't use.

I think it's a little rude of the sales lady to tell you the earrings you want "aren't appropriate." I would assume she was just trying to sell you on another pair but there are certainly more graceful ways she could have gone about it. I'm also not sure what would dictate "bridal appropriate" earrings.

If you love the first, I'd say get them, if you can find them.

I also want to say, don't get too bogged down on the details. At the end of the day, it's about marrying the man you love, and the earrings you are wearing won't really matter.

Both pairs are certainly bridal. If you love the second pair, get them. See if you can return the third pair.

You can't get wrapped up in the smallest details like this. You'll lose your mind.  Wear whatever you want...but I prefer the other pair.

Seriously, they're earrings. I can't get past the fact that you used the word heartbroken.

  Honestly, this isn't one of the details that will make or break your wedding. Just get the pair that YOU love and don't dwell any more on it.

This. At the end of the day, no one is going to remember the earring. The ones you got are very pretty.

I personally think the second ones coordinate better with the dress, but if you really love the first ones then get what you're comfortable with
