Now I need to accessorize!

guacamolly · September 2009

So I finally settled on a dress and I love LOVE love it!!!It's Watters, "Cabo". Now I need to add accessories. [IMG]http://i35.tinypic.com/17send.jpg[/IMG]First off, I hate wearing earrings - my ears almost ALWAYS get infected (even with solid gold, and I have yet to receive or be able to purchase platinum to see if that works!) I may sacrifice some studs for the big day, but not sure yet.Any suggestions on specific pieces? Or websites to check out? I'm also looking for VERY skinny headbands to possibly wear in my hair (like multiple, I saw a picture in a magazine but can't find it online.)TIA!

Try www.bagborroworsteal.com. The only problem is, you can't try on the jewelry until the week or month of the wedding. I haven't decided if I'm going to use them yet. My dress is beaded so I don't want to overdue the bling.Good luck!

Are you hoping to go with something kind of vintage, modern, classic or what? It looks like your dress could kind of go with any of those options as it doesn't have a lot of detailing. I got my jewelry on Etsy from DivineRose http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=102361 She has some really fun stuff, and when it's nice quality. Might want to check her site out, but there are a lot of etsy jewelers at varying prices, I've been happy w/ everyone I've bought from on there. Plus it's all one of a kind, which I love! Good Luck!

That's a lovely dress. I had luck with www.carolee.com/ and http://www.ross-simons.com/ . If you are going to real pearl route try bluenile.com they are very reasonable. I got my bracelet from there. You should try cleaning your earrings in peroxide or alcohol before and after each use. Also wipe your ear piercing.

And I forgot to mention, your dress is gorgeous!!

Definitely more vintage. We're going with a fun/vintage/carnival-esque (like with candy and such) sort of theme.

Woo hoo! Beautiful dress!

Have you tried nickel-free jewelry? I can't wear earrings either, they make my earlobes itch like fire... but the nickel-free kind are just fine. I got them at Kohl's, they have a sticker on the little tab thing.I still never wear earrings, because I have long curly hair that covers up my ears, LOL.

Congrats on finding your dress, it's gorgeous!

Have you considered clip on earrings? I think that is the route I am going as I have super small earlobes and heavy earrings kill the little guys. Good luck!

J Crew has skinny headbands, silver with rhinestones, gold with rhinestones and coppery color with rhinestones- $18.00 each maybe?

I love your dress, it is beautiful! I would say skip the earings if you might get infected and do a great necklace. I think the sweetheart neckline lends itself to a nice vintage-y drop pendant. I would maybe do a necklace and sparkly bracelet.

Also have you heard of Bag Borrow or Steal? I haven't used the website, but I'm thinking about it. You can rent jewelry for events. Here is a picture of a necklace that might work: http://www.bagborroworsteal.com/jewelry/charriol-princess-necklace/6863/17/646
