Oh, crap ... silver AND gold? Is that okay?

Kylene, on September 19, 2014 at 3:27 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 19

I just had a realization.

My seamstress vetoed my necklace choice 1) because it's way too big for my neck and doesn't look good with my dress, and 2) it's gold/copper and the applique on my dress is silver. Makes total sense.

I decided to buy a new set of jewelry from her (at cost, whoop!) in silver ... planned to pick it out at my next appt.

... but I just realized today that my shoes are gold ... and so is my bouquet (gold matches our decor and theme much better).

Is that okay? To have silver jewelry with gold shoes and gold bouquet? Do I find a gold set of jewelry instead (that isn't as big and gawdy as the first set)? Hmmm, not sure what would be best!

    It's not 1990 any more. Silver and Gold can totally be nixed. I notice you're stressing out. Gonna need you to calm down jussssst a little bit! Smiley smile

    This is when a picture of your dress would be lovely if only WW would allow us to post pictures at the moment.

    Silver and gold mixed bothered me to no end until I looked through pics of my friend's wedding and she mixed A LOT of silver and gold. It looked really good!

    I think you will be okay. Mixed metals is something that is fairly common anymore.

    YES! That is exactly what I did. Me and my BM had silver accessories but the venue and everyone else and our flowers all had gold.

    It looked great!

    I think you'll be fine. I doubt anyone will actually notice. =)

    I think you will be fine. Little pieces of each one will not be an issue. I'm sure everything will look lovely together! Smiley smile

    @GameCox, just a little stressed ... just a little. You'll be happy to know that I self-vetoed my afternoon coffee for that very reason. Time for some yoga after work I think. Not quite sure where this stress came from today but it's out in full force. Good think bachelorette is tomorrow which includes lots and lots of wine Smiley smile

    And thanks for the help ladies. I realized I probably should have posted some pics but went straight into a meeting after posting that.

    Here are pics of my dress, shoes, and bouquet ... no jewelry set is picked out yet. And I'm realizing there is silver in my bouquet as well sooooooo, not sure what I'm stressing about.

    I will be mixing them. Our wedding colors are maroon and gold and I will be wearing silver jewelry with gold accents in my dress, bouquet and all the other wedding décor. Plus with the pictures that you posed I think it would look great!

    I think that the silver and gold go together splendidly! I'm sure there are some fashion police that may still frown upon it, but for the most part people just do what looks good without all of the "rules" We can still wear white after labor day, right? Smiley tongue

    Maybe it's the lighting but your shoes look pretty silver to me! Silver and gold are lovely together, I almost kept my wedding band platinum (it was my mom's original band) but because the styles were different, my Ering is more vintage and her band is modern, making them both rose gold was a better fit, but I so wish I could have had a mixed metal wedding set!

    @Happily Ever Harris, they do don't they? I think it's just the lighting, but hey, if the lighting does that on wedding day then we don't have a problem Smiley smile

    @Karen, your room sounds really fun! I think I'll join you.

    I am in LOVE with your bouquet!! I would definitely go with a gold necklace to tie it all together. If you love the set (chunky one) that you got, it could probably be pulled off as well.
