I've bought my dress! Shocked and stunned. And some advise please ladies

Do you have a flash of it

THe top of the dress is about similar to this (bar the flower on the hip) . Obviously this isnt a mermaid cut, but gives an idea of the top of the dress.

Sounds lovely! and if you absolutely love it then it is worth it. Are you thinking of wearing a veil? if so what length as that does have an impact on accessories.

FWIW impulse buying for weddings is never worth it. Give it a few days and you may start to regret blowing the whole budget. How are you going to get the other dresses now? Are you going to put your BMs in high street dresses and hope for bargains in the sale? Or cut the number of BMs?

BUT if you're determined to go with it you'll need understated accessoried for a mega blingy dress or you'll end up looking like an overdone Xmas tree.

I hadn't planned on a veil.

I will still have my bm dresses made, and although I have stretched the budget, DP and I have looked at figures this afternoon, and we can cover the additional cost, without having to go without too many things.

Little bump for advice from monday morning ladies

thanks in advanxe x

Love it!!

I would keep the accessories to a minimum although you could have drop earrings or a bracelet. I would go with something like my Twice the shine 2 row headband https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/index_files/headbands_diamante_pearl.htm and the crystal and diamante wrap around bracelet https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/index_files/wedding_bracelets_silver_diamante_pearl.htm

or a small tiara https://www.3djewellery.co.uk/index_files/simple_wedding_prom_tiaras.htm

Sorry, I'm terrible at offering advice on accessories but wanted to say congratulations on finding the one!

I completely blew my budget for my dress too, but it'll be worth it even if it's only for one day

My dress is similar, that there is alot of 'bling' on the neckline. I dont want it to look to much so I have decided not to wear a necklace.

Also the lady in the shop advised because of the delicate material of my dress not to wear a bracelet that will nick the material. So I am having a simple pearl bracelet with pearl earrings that dangle down.

Oh and I also went over budget on the dress but worked the extra cost into the budget too.

Yey!

My dress had a lot of sparkle on the neckline, so I wore pearls instead of diamonds / crystals. I had pearls in my side tiara as well as crystals to bring it all together.

Sounds absolutely gorgeous!

I would keep your jewellery simple too. Perhaps go without a necklace but if you really want one maybe just a simple small pendant. Some drop earrings and simple hair accessory would look nice. You could probably get away with a small bracelet if you wanted one but don't really need one in my opinion.

Take a little look at my website below for more ideas!

Glad you've found "The One".

Thank you! I have bookmarked your site so I can have a proper look. I do like the 2 row headband

Thank you, I've bookmarked your site too, so I can have a browse.
