Should i wear a necklace or not?

sarahv75, 29 March, 2010 at 20:02 Posted on Planning 0 12

I've been debating this for a few weeks now and the wedding is getting nearer and nearer and i still haven't made a decision!

This is my dress and earrings. Do i need a necklace, and if so, what sort?

    I would say you dont need a necklace as the dress is so detailed up top.... but if you did want one, id just go for a pretty simple one.

    lovely dress and earrings by the way!

    Hmmm, think this'll depend on a few things. Firstly are you having your hair up or down? If it's up you might need something there but if down you probably wouldn't. Also what is your style for the day? Glitz and glamour or very simple because I think that'll make a difference? What about asking some of the HIBs for some pics and suggestions.

    Firstly I don't want to offend, I think your dress is lovely, but does is it quite cleavagy on? I noticed on the picture the model looks quite cleavagy (I know that's not a word!) and if it was me, I would want a necklace so I didn't have a big area of bare skin there. I don't know if I would go for a statement piece like the model has on, it might detract from the dress, but I would probably want something.

    I love where it fastens on the hips and swoops down, its a lovely dress x

    Hi,

    Your dress is one of my favourites as I like the shape and sparkles. I think you could wear a really simple necklace and it would look fine. These designs are made with Swarovski AB Crystals and can have as many strands as you want . The crystals appear to float in mid air as I use clear material so it would give a really delicate touch of sparkle without being heavy.

    You could also easily wear a Sterling Silver pendant like this

    Are you planning on wearing any hair accessories?

    Happy to help suggest ideas.

    I do think its down to personal taste. Do you usually wear necklaces and would feel bare without one? Myself, I would always wear a necklace except with some halternecks.

    One of my brides (hitcher, MonkeyMavis) had a very detailed corset so opted for a simple pendant

    I have this evening made a pendant and earring set which incorporates a drop crystal with a diamante rondels and another crystal on top which would work with your earrings well. I am yet to photograph them, but if you would like me to email over a photo tomorrow please let me know.

    Plenty more ideas on www.louloubelle.co.uk if you fancy a browse. Please let me know if I can help at all.

    Just remembered that Penguin (not seen her around for a while) had a sparkly dress and wore an illusion necklace called Simplicity http://lynseysdesigns.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/fgallery/fim_photos.php?album=necklaces-bridal&image=simplicity.jpg

    I'm having a hair trial on friday and am pretty sure i'm having it up, although will see what the hairdresser suggests! The style for the day is quite simple and i wouldn't want a necklace as glam as the one in the photo.

    I think i like the idea of a pendant necklace - i do usually wear necklaces so yes i think i would feel a bit naked without one. My mum said I can borrow her pearls but although they look lovely with the dress, they're just not me!

    Sadly my cleavage has more or less vanished since i decided to lose weight for the wedding, so i won't look like the model... *sob*!

    Thanks for the links - off to have a look on those websites now ? x

    I wish my cleavage would disappear...us girls are never happy. ?

    For pendants there are so many different ways of designing them so if you want to see any mocks ups I'm happy to do that without any obligation.

    Just uploaded a quick (and awful!) piccie of one of the new designs I mentioned earlier. The diamante rondells are AB rather than clear crystal which it seems will co-ordinate with the diamante in your earrings.

    Really gorgeous dress, I love it!!

    I think a simple pendant necklace would look lovely.

    I have lots of pretty pendant necklaces on my website below, most of which are in the sale at the moment!

    Anyway, here are just a few ideas below. The crystal colour can be altered or pearls can be changed to match the colour of your dress. What colour are you having your dress in?

    Marcella Pearl





    Marcella Crystal
    - I think the silver detailing on the marcella necklaces would go really well with the detail on your bodice and with your earrings





    Simone Necklace
    - silver filigree detailing to match detail on your dress. This can be made with pearl or crystal.





    Antonia Necklace
    - Lovely simple classic crystal drop with tiny pearl detail





    Camille
    Necklace - one of our popular designs, very pretty





    Hope that helps a little. Let me know if you have any queries!
