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

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?

    You're going to look amazing. Like others have mentioned- its your day. Be as blinged out as you want! I have had my eye on that head piece for awhile. it's gorgeous!

    I love it all (except I don't know about the bouquet since I haven't seen it). I think "too much" would be adding a necklace, but I think headband, earrings, applique, and bracelet are gorgeous.

    Well it's hard to tell since it's not a full on pic of you with all the stuff on. But judging on the collage, I would say not too much at all! Looks really pretty!

    It sounds like everything is spread out, not all clumped together plus what other day can you be this blingy?? You're good! Smiley smile

    I think it all looks great...but if you're looking to scale it back - maybe just wear the veil for the ceremony and put the headband on for the reception?

    That's probably what I would do.

    I agree with the comment right above,. the pieces are beautiful, my preference is either big earrings or headband... not both

    I think the headband and earrings might be a bit much, but thats a preference thing!

    My rule is- there is never too much bling!

    My dress had beading from the neckline to the floor, I also had beading on my veil, and I wore an antique watch which had diamonds on it, 3 bangle bracelets, earrings and a necklace. And my shoes had crystals all over them!!!! Never too much bling Smiley winking
