No necklace with strapless dress?

I looked online at strapless wedding dress photos and it seems like I rarely see them wearing a necklace. I'm thinking about not wearing any necklace at all, just long earrings. Do you think it's fine to not wear a necklace?

    I would make that decision based on what your dress looks like. If it is really detailed or sparkly a necklace may be over doing it. If it's more subtle then go for it. I would try the necklace on to see if you like it with the dress. You can always change your mind.

    I had the same problem but I know I needed a necklace bc I'm not wearing a bracelet. I found one on RTR that was subtle but perfect $45 rental

    Here's the necklace if you want to do the same thing. Also, there are brides for the reviews that have worn this with pictures included. Gave me a better idea

    I'm not wearing a necklace because I am not a big necklace person and as strange as this sounds I'm really self conscious of my neck and don't want to draw attention to it.. lol

    I wore my mother's necklace from her wedding, it was very small and delicate. Would not have gone without it since she passed when I was a kid. I wore her rings on my right hand also

    I noticed this too when looking at pictures of strapless dresses! Mine is a strapless sweetheart but I'm wearing a fancy necklace and earrings just because I want to feel super glamorous for my wedding day! On mobile had too crop that pic :/

    I'm not wearing one. I have a really short neck and chest line. So it really shortens my neck.

    I'm wearing a sweetheart neckline dress and I'm doing chandelier earrings, more specifically because my bodice has a lot of beading. I didn't want to take away from that part of the design with a necklace

    It's up to you. My dress is strapless and I am wearing a necklace and earrings. It's all on what you want though.

    My dress is sweetheart strapless and I was on the fence about a necklace but I decided to do one. If I were wearing my hair up I would do drop earrings but since I wearing it mostly down, I decided I needed a necklace for something a little extra. I would say don't rule it out, maybe look at some, but if you're really not finding one that feels right, don't worry about it! Do what feels right to you Smiley smile

    I think online, a lot of pictures won't have jewelry because they are ads. The vendor wants you to focus on the dress, regardless of the neckline.

    That said I am skipping the necklace and going with chandeliers as well. That's just my style.

    But do a necklace if that's what you want! Not tacky at all.

    It's absolutely fine to wear or not wear a necklace with a strapless. If you are on the fence I'd recommend you buying a necklace that you would wear again and will go with the dress, then decide what feels and looks right that morning

    After I bought my dress I googled the style number for some ideas and I found this picture and fell in love with the chunky necklaces look!
