Are you wearing/did you wear a necklace?

Aimee, on January 29, 2013 at 11:44 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 40

My mother is trying to convince me that most brides don't wear necklaces anymore. Earrings and bracelets are more "in style" for brides. Anybody decided one way or the other? Opinions? Pictures would be appreciated!

My dress already has a lot going on. I will be wearing my hair up with two hair combs in the back and some fancy drop earrings. Still on the search for a bracelet to match.

    I'm wearing a pearl necklace (it's my something borrowed from my mom) but my dress is incrdibly plain... I think with your dress you don't need it but its really up to you. I love those earings!!!!

    Huh...I never really paid attention to if brides were wearing necklaces or not anymore. I say do whatever you feel prettiest in! But I know I will not be wearing one..just earrings and a bracelet. I've never really been a huge fan of necklaces to begin with and with the sparkly earrings, sparkly veil, and sparkly dress I don't want to overdo it!

    I wore a pearl necklace, which I bought for the wedding but have worn numerous times since. But you have to decide for yourself whether a necklace would look good with your dress or not. I don't think they are out of style, but they go better with some dresses than with others.

    Yeah, I'm thinking the necklace might overdo it with my dress. If I do wear one it might be a simple charm necklace.

    Oh my goodness I love your dress!!! I never got to try it on because none of the DB's I went to had it.

    I think necklaces are beautiful and prefer one with a pair of earrings than a bracelet. Bracelets bump everything! Look around and see if there are any necklaces you would fancy with your dress, I think simpler would be better because your gown is gorgeous and very dressy up top.

    Beautiful dress!

    I'm wearing a pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings. If you want a necklace, maybe stick to a simple pendant. Just don't do all three pieces of jewelry.

    Necklaces are my favorite type of jewelry by far, so I'm definitely wearing one. I don't wear earrings and I always fidget with bracelets, but I'm going to make sure my dress is one that will look good with some sort of necklace. I think a necklace would look good with your dress, actually. Although it might be best to go with a simple necklace instead of something really fancy so that it doesn't look too busy.

    I plan on wearing one, but that's mainly because I will have a scar there by then that I'll need to try to cover. Have to get my thyroid removed - leaves an ugly scar on my neck and I won't have much healing time to make it fade.

    I'm not, I'm wearing earrings in both piercings (my ears are double pierced), small dangly ones and diamond studs FH gave me last night for our dating anniversary. I'm wearing two bracelets and my grandma's wedding ring on my right hand. The only beading/detail is at the top of my dress so a necklace would be too much. I'm on my phone right now but I'll try to put a pic up later.

    Don't know what earrings I am wearing yet but I'll be wearing a bangle bracelet my dad gave me for my 21st birthday & I'll be wearing a ring on a chain (my grandfather's ring he got for his birthday at the age of 17). The ring is my something old, borrowed, and blue!

    My cousin wore a silver chain with her father's wedding ring on it, as well as a sparkly necklace. I noticed the ring as she came down the aisle, and knew that's why she was crying, even more than getting married. Her father passed about 12 years ago.

    I'm hoping to wear my mother's Squash Blossom (pic below is an example, not Momma's, but similar) that she got before I was born. She says she's not sure if she's ready to give it up yet, but it's always been a conversation we've had, that she'd let me wear it for my wedding if I wanted. The original dress design wouldn't have worked, but this new dress design I am working on will better work with the piece. Otherwise, I have other jewelry to look at.

    Between the fanciness of your dress and the beautiful earrings, I think you have enough. Anything else would begin to take away from the elegance.

    I didn't wear a necklace, but I felt my neckline was enough. BTW: LOVE the color of your dress!

    My lobes aren't pierced so I won't be wearing any earrings there (just my other.. "non traditional earrings"- my tragus, rook, and anti-helix haha).

    So since I'm not wearing earrings I am definitely wearing a necklace. I made it too so even better.
