  I'm having an outdoor ceremony in a botanical garden. I'll wear a floral crown with lavender and rosemary and my dress is a simple strapless a-line asymmetrical wrap stylel. I have no idea how fancy my jewelry can or should be. Can I wear drop style earrings or no?

  Sounds pretty! Can you share a pic of your dress? How will you be wearing your hair?

  hmm. for some reason I cannot view the pics - perhaps I can google - what designer/style is it?

  I think you could probably go as ornate as you want with your jewelry since your dress and crown are very simplistic, and it wouldn't compete I don't think. I suppose it would depend on what you want to stand out the most? But if I were you, I'd look for a drop earring in some kind of floral inspired design. You could even do earrings that have pale purple jewels in them? 
  I do like the jewelry that's in the stock photo. You're going to look amazing!

  I think a nice drop earring would be lovely with your dress/hair.  I wouldn't go with a necklace though (unless it is simple/dainty).  You could also consider doing a nice bracelet if you like wearing those.

  I always think less is more.  Simple drop earrings would be lovely.  Traditional bridal jewelry is a single strand of pearls.  IMHO these huge chandelier earrings and enormous necklaces are a fad that will soon fade.

  Anything with amethyst would look lovely.

  Yes! Amethyst is what I was thinking (Check JC Penney if you want real ones, they're usually on sale dirt cheap this time of year.) 
  Also, if you want fancy stuff, OP, I recommend Charming Charlie's or Francesca's if you have one around. Also, Icing (aka grown up Claire's) has some more ornate/flower inspired stuff if you're thinking that route.

  I can see them now - what a gorgeous dress and flower crown!
  
  I think with that style of dress you really could go with drop earrings or studs. The model pictured is wearing drop earrings and looks quite elegant. PPs suggestions of amethyst earrings would look really lovely and would tie the whole look together with your crown.

  Nice! I love the fifth and the last one listed. I never think to look at eBay. I started perusing and found this statement necklace that would be gorgeous if it came in lavender. I think it would really jazz up the plain bodice of dress.

  Arrrg! I don't know, that may be too busy. I wish I could try a bunch on without having to buy it, wait for shipping and then return.  I did find a similar necklace on Amazon in white that comes with free amethyst stud earrings.!

  OP, I'm a big fan of statement necklaces, but I think in this case simpler is better (similar to the necklace the model is wearing). Your gown is very simple and its beauty and elegance are derived from this simplicity. I fear a more dramatic necklace would be too overpowering.

  The first necklace is a bit much, but the second is OK.

  I definitely think the big statement necklace is too much with your dress. I agree with CMG that those big necklaces and huge earrings are a fad. I'd go more simple on the necklace.

  Remember, you want people to focus on YOU, not on your jewelry.  Local news anchors here have been told to cool it on those huge necklaces.  They are distracting.
  Most of these are sterling silver, which means that they can be an heirloom in your family for years to come.  Most of those huge necklaces are strictly costume jewelry.

  Particularly since you are also doing a flower crown, I would keep the necklace more simple. Otherwise I think a statement necklace and the crown would compete for attention.
  
  I like the necklaces CMG has posted.
