Reassurance/advice on accessories

Brianna, on March 19, 2018 at 9:52 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15
I bought my dress back in November because I couldn't get it out of my mind. After seeing some of the gorgeous dresses on here with lace, beading, or other fancy details I've started to worry that my dress is too plain. But I tried on dresses with more detail and just wasn't happy in any of them. So I am 99% sure I have the right dress, I just have to deal with the (apparently normal?) phase of second guessing myself.

Anyways, what I'm looking for most at the moment is advice on accessories. I'm planning on wearing my hair very similar to the picture shown. Because of the beautiful open back on my dress I was planning on doing a backdrop necklace like the picture shown, but in silver. However, just as I was about to order the necklace, I realized it might look odd with the v-neck on the front of my dress and no necklace pendant hanging down the front. Am I crazy for thinking that? I just keep looking at the necklace the day I tried on the dress and how nicely the length goes with the neckline. Opinions would be greatly appreciated!

    I think your dress looks nice on you. Wear a necklace with that. Since your dress is simple and elegant, you may want a nice necklace.

    My goodness, that swoop back and v-neck combo looks lovely on you! Way to accentuate all your features!

    Have you tried on the dress with a necklace that looks similar in the front to the one you're planning to get? You could try on different necklaces with it to get an idea for whether you prefer dangle or not. There are a lot of styles in backdrop necklaces to choose from; just takes some looking around 😉

    First off: BEAUTIFUL
    Second: I went through the second guessing my dress too. And it’s a terrible feeling.
    Third: I love the idea of having the necklace fall on your back. I love the Pinterest picture for the $85 dollar one.
    Youll look great no matter what!

    Wow this dress is gorgeous! Personally I like the necklace one of the PP added. If I saw one you added on a bride I’d have the initial reaction of “is the necklace turned around?”. Ultimately it’s your day and it’s most important that you feel great in it. Will some people find your necklace different - possibly. Will it look bad - absolutely not! Go with it girl!

    I like the necklace you chose and your dress is elegant and beautiful. I bought my dress and refused to even glance at others so I wouldn't second-guess myself. Your dress chose you for a reason, don't second guess your choice.

    I am going through the same exact thing with my dress. Posted a very similar thought yesterday. I feel as if it’s too plain now and I should have got something fancy. I’m waiting to get it altered to fit right and I bought a blingy belt to wear with it.
    Anyways, the back of your dress is perfect! It will look so beautiful with a backdrop necklace. I like your original one and I like the one the first commenter posted as well.

    I think bare backs are gorgeous. I agree, a necklace hanging in the front will accent the neckline perfectly, and the dress is so gorgeous, I think just your back will match the elegance and simplicity!
