Opinions, betches!
So... number55's Coach gifts are awesome and I haven't thought of what to get my girls yet, but I'd like a few opinions on some jewelry I'm thinking about getting.
Their dresses are these pewter ones from David's Bridal:
Okay - number one:

Number two:
http://www.my-wedding-jewelry.com/sexy-drop-necklace.html
Number three:
http://www.my-wedding-jewelry.com/floral-arrangement.html
Or... none of these. I'm wearing pearls - should I get the girls some grey or pink pearls instead? (my colors are grey, wine and light pink)

I think #2 looks cheap (sorry) and #3 looks overdone.
Hokay carry on.
And for that price I think I might buy it myself...save page...

I vote pearls or number 3.
Edit: Katie has a point though, for wearing again in the future I'd go with pearls. I do like number 3 though.

I would probably do pearls and do something a little different for each girl. Like this necklace for one:

This for another:

Or maybe even one gets a necklace, one gets a bracelet, one gets earrings...
ETA: Of the 3 original choices, I like the first one. If you are doing light pink flowers I think pink pearls would be thebomb.com though.
[QUOTE]I vote pink pearls...I have an etsy link for you... CLICKY I like pretty much most of what is on her shop and you can pick the colours...you could do grey and pink...are your flowers going to be pink?
Posted by number55[/QUOTE]
...I love those.
Seriously. And I just sold some baseball tickets so I have some extra money, this is totally doable.
You're rocking my face right now.
Our flowers are going to be wine (burgundy) and light pink. My bouquet will have wine, light pink and ivory.
[QUOTE]Honestly, I don't like any of them. :( I think they look too cheap matchy matchy bridesmaid-y, which I'm sure doesn't help you at all.

Thanks for your honest input...
I really like these too.
Oh gosh.

I also just really like pink pearls. They have a hint of color without it being overpowering.
I also agree that pearls always look classy but I'm not a fan of colored pearls, but I think it's because I have all of these colored pearls from the 10th grade... =/
I love the first one--it looks antique-y and cool.
The second one is okay, but I think it looks cheap and is too long.
I hate flowers in jewelry. IDK why.
I like the idea of pearls, though, to coordinate without being matchy-matchy. So #1 or pearls.
I made a bio?!?

[QUOTE]AATB...I bought my girls pearls (necklaces and earrings) from her...you can see them in my bio...what I chose was way simpler than the link I showed you...they aren't 'heavy' expensive pearls by any means but they look nice I think. My thing with WR jewelry is that I am buying it for them for my wedding (I didn't do matchy matchy in colours but I did in style) but it might not be their taste so I didn't want to spend too much money on things they might not wear again. So when I was looking for jewelry, clutches and pashminas I set a budget based on what I would spend on something I might never wear again and went with that (x4!)...

All good points.
I like that seller you showed me though - she has lots of different options.
This has been a helpful thread :)
[QUOTE]I love #1 because it's beautiful and classy. #2 looked cheap and I've seen #3 a million times before. Hope that helps! I also agree that pearls always look classy but I'm not a fan of colored pearls, but I think it's because I have all of these colored pearls from the 10th grade... =/

I like colored pearls some days, and on other days, NO.
I worry that if I get them colored pearls, I will hate it on my wedding day - but there is NO white anywhere in our wedding. The guys are wearing all black, and then wine ties and grey vests. My dress is ivory... and my pearls are ivory.
And even though I *know* it doesn't really matter in the big scheme of things if the girls wear white pearls... it would bug the shiit out of me that they were white and not ivory, and I'm not sure if the ivory goes with the grey.
I'm probably thinking way too much about this.
[QUOTE]Yea not a huge fan of the choices. my BM's are wearing: <a href="http://www.liasophia.com/sites/corporate/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=103045401" rel="nofollow">http://www.liasophia.com/sites/corporate/productcatalog?page=productdetail&sku=103045401</a> the picture doesnt do it justice they are on clear strands and the pearls really pop and they dont look very heavy. Good luck i hate decisions!!

Lia Sophia... very nice! Classy :)
And yeah - I hate decisions too, and suck at them... thus... this fustercluck of a poll.

[QUOTE]I didn't look, but jewelry given to wear to the wedding isn't a gift, really. If they're expected to wear it, it's for you.
Posted by brookelynpaisley[/QUOTE]
Oh, I know! I haven't decided what to get them as actual <em>gifts </em>yet. I'm sure I'll have another annoying poll about that in a week or two...
