The Unadorned Bride

BloodhoundLover, on July 10, 2015 at 11:07 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 14

Is anyone else here just wearing a dress and no veil/headpieces or jewelry? I'm having a small wedding in a gazebo and this is my dress (150 bucks from etsy woot), without the necklace of course. I don't mean to toot my own horn but my body looks incredible in it and it is so much prettier in person. Do I need any jewelry or any embellishments?

    Your dress is gorgeous! I would wear a simple necklace with that dress. It looks like a wide neckline and there aren't any embellishments on the bodice, so I think a necklace would enhance your overall look. You can do whatever you want with veil, headpiece, or nothing. That depends on how you want to wear your hair. If it were me I would have some sort of embellishment in my hair, but maybe not a veil.

    I think it is absolutely gorgeous! I would prob rock some sort of earrings but I think the necklace compliments it perfectly!

    I think a nice necklace would add to it, it's a very pretty dress. No need for a veil.

    Personally I'd wear hair jewelry as well (like a fancy hair band, hair comb etc) if you don't want a veil. I'd also wear earrings and a bracelet.

    You could keep it plain but it just looks more casual, unless that's what you're going for.

    Why not wear the pearls from the mannequin pic and some pearl studs?

    I didn't wear a veil or jewelry, besides earrings and rings. I did wear a small headband in my hair. People will know you are the bride if that is what you are worried about. Smiley smile I had moments in planning where I was worried I would regret not wearing a veil. But looking back, I am so glad I didn't. That dress is BEAUTIFUL. And I don't think you need to add anything to it.

    Maybe a pearl necklace if you want some jewelry or a nice hair comb/hair accessory. No need for a veil or too much jewelry. Gorgeous dress Smiley smile

    I would do simple earrings and that's it. It's very pretty. I didn't do a veil or anything and much preferred it.

    I would just do a string of pearls, or a really simple pendant. Gorgeous dress btw!

    No necklace.

    Wear a stud or simple dangle earring and maybe....and I mean maybe a simple bracelet, if you find the right one that doesn't take from the dress.

    I will be wearing just my dress, and no headpieces or jewelry (other than my wedding rings). I did entertain the thought of a birdcage veil, but honestly, I don't want to be overly fussing and stressing over my hair, which I will already be doing myself.

    Your dress is gorgeous and can definitely stand out by itself, though a simple strand of pearls or thin chain would be a nice accent, too.
