Help Please: How much bling is too much bling? *Pics*

Kylene, on October 14, 2014 at 3:12 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 46

I just had my final fitting this past weekend and tried it with all the extras - jewelry, veil, etc - and while it's gorgeous, I'm worried it's too much. Attached is a link of my collage-o-stuff.

On the far right in the pic is the applique on the left hip of my dress.

Then I have a headband for my hair, a simple bracelet to wear on the opposite wrist as the applique, and my earrings. It looks gorgeous but I'm wondering if it's way too much glam?

I also have a suuuuuper simple tulle veil for during the ceremony that clips in on the back of my head (doesn't cover face).

I think my concern is that I'm also carrying a brooch bouquet. On my own I think it looks great but I'm worried that with bouquet in hand I'm going to look like a disco ball.

I'm thinking if I remove the headband it would all come together well ... but I really like the headband!

Thoughts?

    I can't picture it being too much. I think it's the perfect amount.

    I know this is like a one in a million this, but is your dress a Sophia Tolli?

    @DFG, I was considering simple earrings but everyone (seamstress, mom, MOH, and hairstylist) all said that with the way I'm wearing my hair larger earrings would be better (small ones would get lost). So I'd probably get rid of the headband before the earrings. But I do have a pair of simple drop pearls I can try day of if it seems like too much once it's all put together.

    @Andrea, nope! Mori Lee Smiley smile

    Okay, because that looked EXACTLY like the side of mine. The applique on the left hip, the way the fabric comes together - everything! I was going back and forth between your picture and mine trying to compare! I was like, no way we have the same dress. I'm also doing the pearls with mine, so all together I was OMG TWINS! lol

    I think it all looks perfect though! You'll be b-e-a-u-tiful! Smiley smile Do you have a picture of your bouquet? I'm obsessed with them and almost did one myself but 1) I'm too lazy and 2) all the pre-assemebled ones were way more than I was looking to spend

    Keep in mind, you won't be holding the bouquet the whole evening (which is good - they're heavy). So, you'll be losing a big chunk of bling when you set down the bouquet.

    I think it's a good amount. I'm starting to worry I'll be to blinged out too.
