Grandma's Pearls/pearl Earrings and Dress/veil

PrettyinPink, on January 24, 2018 at 6:43 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 28

I found my veil and wanted to see what you all thought about how it matches my dress and everything. I was really locked in on wearing my grandma's pearls with her pearl earrings but someone had said the dress and veil would look better without any type of necklace and more dangly/flashy earrings. She said I could convert the necklace temporarily into a bracelet or even shorten the necklace a little. It is an antique Mikimoto pearl necklace with a weird clasp, and I don't want to damage it since she has passed away and it means a lot to me. It also doesn't completely match the veil's pearls which are more of a true white - and, the earrings have gold in them. Now I'm second-guessing everything again. What do you all think? Too much? Honest opinions appreciated. I guess if I don't end up wearing her jewelry I'll have to revisit the "something borrowed". Thanks - excuse my nasty fingernails, I'm a nail-biter Smiley tongue.

    I think the pearls look beautiful. Your dress is simple and elegant lace and the pearls really brings that out. Plus the jewelry is special to you. I say wear it for sure!

    I think the tone of pearls compliments under tone on dress! Very elegant....I'm pro pearls. :+) If ultimately you decided against wearing them around your neck, maybe you could incorporate then into/around your bouquet?

    Everything looks beautiful together. I love how the pearl necklace and earrings look with your dress and veil, and I agree that they match the undertone of your dress. Plus, they have such a special meaning. Definitely wear them!

    I love the pearls. I think it's fine that the pearls don't match, I doubt anyone will notice either.

    Honestly- both the earrings and necklace look amazing with your dress. Very, very classy look! Don’t worry about it not being the same color of pearls on the veil, it all goes quite well! Def wear it Smiley smile

    I'm team pearls! Timeless and classic look. Though, incorporating them into your bouquet is a good idea!

    I think it looks classy and beautiful. The sentimental value is worth more than anything. I'm wearing a sparkly dangly silver necklace and earrings, but I'll be wearing one of her bracelets that is gold with blue topaz stones as my something blue. I don't care if anyone thinks my jewelry is odd together, i want my grandmother right there with me. I miss her too much not too

    Absolutely PERFECT, and even if they weren't? Having your beloved grandma "with you" through her necklace and earrings trumps anything else in my book! They look absolutely beautiful -- as do you. Have a wonderful day!

    Love the pearls. I'm wearing my moms pearls that my dad, who passed away a year ago, gave to her.
