How to accessorize my dress?

Kayvsoon2bl · December 2012

Hello lovelys

Im SO excited about my dress. It arrived last week, and I tried it on again, just to make sure its what I want, and I cant explain how beautiful it looks and feels on me!! I was so afraid it was gonna make me look fat, (im 5 4, and weigh 146 lbs :$) but its the pretties thing I think I will ever wear! AH! lol anyways, I dont know what kind of jewelry to wear with it! I want to wear a necklace , and a flower wreath on my head .

The dress:http://www.alfredangelo.com/collections/productdisplay.aspx?productID=9ca6c572-333e-4e03-8dc1-4f4c93abc674&categoryID=1975d565-34d2-4d81-90c9-437deabe902d&pg=1&colorId1=

Headwreath

Would the wreath be too much? I really think it goes, since Im having a garden themed wedding... Any suggestions as in jewelry?

Thanks!

I think the wreath is beautiful. Just understate your other jewelery. Maybe diamond or pearl studs instead of big earrings?

Sorry but I'm not a fan of the wreath. It looks juvenile IMO.

I don't care for the wreath either. Looks like something worn in the 1970s.

I don't think the wreath goes with that dress. I'm sorry. : maybe a flower fascinator?

Depending on what color you do the wreath. If you do it in the same color as the dress it might go. My only concern is that the flowers look big and so it might take away from the elegance of the dress. But then again it's being shown on a little girl so it might not seem so big on an adult head If you go with the floral headband then I say go with simple earrings & maybe no necklace because the headpiece will be your focal point of your look and if you start doing earrings & necklace with it, I think it will be too much.

Personal if it were me, I would skip the wreath and maybe try to find a nice hair clip with a flower on it or find a nice single silk flower that you can pin into your hair. I think it might go nicer with the simplicity and elegance of your dress and allow you more options with jewelry.

That dress is gorgeous. I think a flower wreath would be pretty with it, but I think the one you listed was the wrong choice, personally. I would go for something that has smaller flowers and maybe some beading or crystals on it, if you want a head wreath. I would also choose understated jewelry with the crown. Just some simple diamonds or pearls.

I would go for a flower crown like one of these with that dress:

The head wreath is too big for the dress. I think a fascinator with a blusher would be lovely for that dress and a garden wedding.

i agree with comments about understated pearls..i'm wearing matching pearl earrings and necklace that my mother wore when she got married.

Lovely dress. Not so lovely wreath. They do not go together... agree that it looks juvenile. If you want a floral headpiece then have a simple wreath made by your florist. Baby's Breath maybe?

Or, check out this site. They have a large assortment of gorgeous floral facinators and clips that are all synthetic with or without bling, etc.
