So I keep hearing from my sisters, friends, and even my mom that your wedding day is the one day everyone expects you to be over the top and “extra” (in appearance, not a bridezilla!) My mom and sisters wanted to make a day of shoe and jewelry shopping, and were really disappointed when I said I didn’t want to get either. I ended up having a pair of heels in my closet that I’ve only worn once that I think will look perfect with my dress, so I don’t see a point in buying new shoes when I already own perfect ones. Also, I don’t think my dress really needs accessories. I like the idea of it being the main focus. The same with my engagement and wedding rings- I like the idea of them being the only jewelry I wear, since they are so important and symbolic of the vows we are taking that day. But my mom and sisters feel that I need earrings, a cocktail ring, and a bracelet. The more I hear them say this, the more I have began to doubt myself. I don’t want to look “plain” or underwhelming on my wedding day! I would really appreciate some unbiased feedback from you ladies! I am attaching photos of my dress and shoes. I also plan to wear a very simple veil like the one pictured (I am being told I should get a heavily embellished veil instead). Do you think just the shoes and veil will be enough? Or will I look too plain?
