Necklace or No?

Sara, on June 5, 2019 at 11:08 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 11

Ok, so I don't wear very much jewelry - at all! My daily go to is my engagement ring, a necklace from my mother, and earrings. I am debating if I should have a necklace for my wedding. My dress is super embellished in the bust and I don't want to distract from that. My mother suggested a simple pendant but I am not sure. Any thoughts?

    Do you have a photo of your dress? It really depends on the neckline.

    I'm team "less is more" I skipped the necklace because the bodice of my dress was busy enough. I wanted to look more simplistic and elegant over too much bling and distraction. Totally a personal prefernece but I am not a big necklace fan with wedding dresses!

    (side note: sometimes necklaces can irritate your skin especially when it is hot or really cold, the rubbing can cause redness on your neck and chest and you don't want that in photos or in person. I also skipped necklaces for this reason.)

    I’m Team “No Necklace” for most wedding dresses. The necklines are usually so pretty on their own. I’d go for earrings and a hair accessory (veil, fancy comb or headband, et).

    I'm not wearing a necklace at all because I already have a dress that's got a detailed neck. I am also on the team of less is more. Dresses are the statement piece. But if you want something extra then maybe consider some nice clips on your hair or earrings?

    Another vote for team no! Especially after seeing a picture of your dress. There's enough embellishment there that you definitely do not need the added statement.
    I think a nice pair of drop earrings would look great instead.

    I have a special hair clip that I bought - we are including Dr Who elements so it has a tiny Tardis on it with blue and clear stones. And I am thinking of borrowing my mom's sapphire earrings (incorporates my something blue) and getting a sapphire necklace.

    I would skip the necklace. Your dress doesn't need one!
