Necklace/other jewelry with my dress

Gail, on May 17, 2021 at 11:07 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 9

Hi everyone,

I am getting married in just over a month (June 21) and am feeling overwhelmed trying to pick out accessories. I don't wear any on a daily basis, just my engagement ring and sometimes a very simple necklace. Current thinking is to have an updo, wear contacts, and have very simple/natural makeup. My ears aren't pierced so I'm not planning on wearing earrings. I'm leaning towards a hairpiece instead of a veil. I've read that often sleeveless dresses don't need necklaces, but if I'm not wearing earrings, a veil, hair down, a belt/sash etc. I'm worried that it will all look TOO simple and plain.

So... what would you recommend? Necklace or no? Any other accessories that I should (re)consider? Bonus points and tons of gratitude if you can share links as well, since the shopping process is stressing me out and I'm struggling with how even to search.

Thank you so much!

This is my dress:

    Hello Gall

    You don't have to wear jewelry at all.

    Jewelry won't make your upcoming marriage valid or unvalid

    Wear what makes you comfortable and confident.

    I've been to weddings where the bride didn't wear a veil and didn't replace it with anything, not even a hairpiece and didn't wear jewelry either.

    "I've read that often sleeveless dresses don't need necklaces": You can wear a necklace with a sleeveless dress and it looks great, here is the proof:

    Look at Amazon to see if you like anything. But if you don’t usually wear anything, you don’t have to wear anything for your wedding day either! You won’t look simple or plain! You’ll look absolutely beautiful regardless. But you could wear a simple pearl necklace or a simple silver or gold necklace if you like either of those. Maybe ask one of the women in your or your fiancé’s family if they have any family jewelry you could wear?

    Just want to say first your dress looks beautiful on you! I actually have a similar style dress and was originally worried about looking too plain. While I am deciding to wear earrings, if jewelry isn’t really your everyday style, I wouldn’t worry about it. The dress is beautiful, you are beautiful, and you won’t look plain!

    Hi there,


    I think a nice thin jeweled belt would look awesome on your dress! Amazon has a TON of options!

    Thank you so much for this advice, I ended up asking my mom, and she has a pearl necklace that I think I'm going to wear! I can't believe I hadn't thought of that before.

    Much appreciated!
