Jewellery...how much is too much?

How blingy is the tiara, and does your veil have sparkles? Any bling on the dress? I think all these are things to consider.

I wore a short plainish dress and lace headscarf so I went for a big diamante necklace, and stud earrings to match. I also had a matching bracelet, which I took off as soon as the ceremony was over as it kept catching on the lace on my dress!

I am also going for elegant and classy. My dress has a sweetheart neckline as well (with bling right at the neckline and a little on the side, other than that it's just lovely satin) and I am wearing a necklace and earrings, but nothing too blingy.

This is my headband, and my earrings, necklace and bracelet.

I am right there with you! I have bought jewellery, sparkly belt, two tiaras/headpieces and a long veil. All that after choosing my dress because of its simplicity and classic elegance. Now, of course, I am seeing that it all goes against the look into was after so I am now wondering just how little I actually need. That means that most of the stuff I have bought will not be used, but I don't want to wonder where my classic elegance disappeared to!!

sometimes less is definitely more!

I originally wanted cluster drop earrings but it's been a nightmare. Then last weekend I saw Four Weddings USA and one of the brides on there had long cluster pearl drop earrings and the other brides picked up on it and said how they felt they were more party than bridal and I looked again and had to agree. They completed with her dress and hair, so it's decided, for me anyway, that I want something less obvious and something a little more discreet. I might still have drops but they will only be small unless I can get a nice pair of studs that I like.

I would say with a half up do, with curls around your face, that studs would be better

For the necklace, mine is sweetheart too and a very blingy dress. I have a triple string of pearls that fit close to the neck and they really finish it off. With nothing or a very fine necklace, I felt very bare. The pearls fill the gap nicely.

I got all of mine from Debenhams - Alan Hannah Devoted. I spent £55 for headband, necklace, earrings and bracelet. All in the sale at a fraction on the cost.

Sorry - I also forgot to mention. That my dress is lace with next to no bling and also with a sweetheart neckline. I think a necklace with a point at the bottom (IYSWIM) looks lovely with a sweet heart neckline!!

But obviously - It is all personal preference!

Hi

I was having the same thoughts a little while ago, I couldn't decide how much sparkle was too much
Problem is I'm used to always wearing earrings, a necklace, my charm bracelet & a watch, I can feel a bit naked if I ever forget any of my 'normal' jewellery ...

I second that Debenhams have some lovely stuff at the moment, I got these earrings and necklace a few weeks ago

I also got the matching hair comb as I will be wearing my hair up, and I have a hip length veil which has scattered diamantés over it

My dress does have some sparkly detail, but I found that the jewellery and veil actually compliment it really well

One person's idea of too much is another person's idea of not enough, best thing is to get what you like and then when you get everything on take things away if you think it's too much

What a lovely dress! I think you could get away with more if you wanted. I'd say try it on and if you're happy with it, go with it.

It is personal preference and very dependant on your hair and dress.

I always wear ear rings, bracelet, and a necklace, so I will wear all that just more in keeping with the day, my dress and hair (I will have very small drop earrings). I will also wear a headband and a veil that's on a sparkly comb that matches everything else.

My veil is very plain though, no sparkle as I was conscious I had lots of bling going on!

Its hard to comment without seeing.

Thanks everyone, I think like a lot of people ive been looking at individual things for a while and now trying to see it all coming to ether is a little more tricky!

My dress has a belt of crystals below the bust and a removable diamante brooch at the gather to the train (on my thigh visible from the front) The veil has Swarovski drops on the edge of it and the tiara is Swarovski crystals and pearls. They are all small so its very pretty rather than in your face 'bling'

Before I bought the other bits I was thinking of this set:

But now i'm thinking it will be too much with everything else, so im thinking possibly earrings but no necklace?. Just had a look on the jonrichard website and found these:
