Accessorizing a Beaded Dress (Maggie Sottero Charlie)

Hey All!

I am searching for accessories for my dress and am just interested in what advice you might have for what to look for. 

For starters, here are a few links to the dress I have:
https://www.bestbridalprices.com/maggie-sottero-wedding-dresses-style-charlie-4md877-p121847

https://www.preownedweddingdresses.com/dresses/view/108228/Maggie-Sottero-Charlie-4MD877-Size-14.html

That second link has better close-ups of the dress. The beading includes some pearls so I plan to incorporate that in my headpiece (I'm not doing a veil). I wanted to wear a simple pearl necklace of some kind, but I don't know if that is just too much to add to an already busy dress? Should I just sticky to a pair of earrings? 

If you've worn this dress for your wedding, how did you accessorize? 

I'm open to all suggestions and opinions. Thanks!

    IMO you can go both ways.  If you're leaning toward pearls, I'd go ahead and visit your local jeweler and choose a strand you'll wear again and again along with pearl studs.  You really can go the pendant, "hang-down", or simple pearls with that gown so it all comes down to personal preference for that dress.

    I think you could either do big dangly earrings and no necklace, or understated earings and an understated necklace. Just depends on the look you're going for.

    I had a heavily beaded Maggie gown, although it wasn't strapless. I did big dangly earrings and a head piece, and bracelets, but no necklace. I was going for a pretty glam look though. I didn't feel "overdone". Such a WOW dress required more WOW in the whole look, in my opinion.

    You can go pearls or "diamonds" with that dress, both options are in the beading.

    I agree that I would either do bold drop earrings and no necklace (you could also bold bracelet and head piece) or a simple necklace with slightly more simple earrings (you could still do something with a bit of drama, drop earrings, but keep them delicate vs. bold). I just wouldn't do a bold necklace as I think it would compete with the dress.
