Grandma's Pearls/pearl Earrings and Dress/veil

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....

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 its looks perfect together. The pearl lace and the necklace goes well together. you don't want it to match, just compliment each other.

    I generally prefer the look of no necklace with a wedding dress, but if wearing the pearls is important to you, then I think you should wear them! Could you swap the veil for something more simple, like with a raw or pencil edge, and no beading? That would help balance things out more.

    Originally went with a plain edge veil but something looked off. I even posted something about it and had pictures of the plain edge one. Maybe they were just horribly made but they looked off with my dress and all together. But I was going that direction at first because it made sense...I also already purchased this veil :/. Thanks for your feedback!
