Necklaces are Complicated

YOU GUYS.
I cannot decide on a necklace.  You're gonna have to help a sister out!

BEAU:  You probably want to go away now.



First off, I plan on wearing this in my hair:

And I will wear these three bracelets on my right hand:


 The bird and arrow have brass chain, which I originally hated but now love.

And wearing studs of some kind as earrings...I want the necklace to be a STATEMENT necklace, but not to overdo it with the hairpiece.  With that in mind, here are my Etsy favs:

1 & 2.

The lovely Kristina said she would stop right here and buy this one, but I'm concerned my ear would be crowded with all those blooms.

I feel like maybe this is toooooo champagne-y....

3 & 4.

I like these but think they are kinda...sparse, maybe?

Love the leaves!

6-12.  I shouldn't put all these pictures up, but I'm going to.  You should just save yourself the trouble and go to Etsy shop BrassBoheme.  






 
They are all different enough that they ended up as favorites.  I generally don't like bib necklaces, but these are so pretty...and sparkly...I die.

13.  Or I could so simple...ginko trees are important to the Japanese...

  1. I say go with one of the 6-12 (they are amazing!!!!) or the gingko...because you know how I love me some gingko. Honestly though, your lit-up, happy face should be the highlight of the day and I think too much of a necklace, especially with the hairpiece might be a little distracting from your natural beauty. I am all about doing it up the day of your wedding, but at the same time, it's the glow and the natural sparkle that will really shine. I almost think you could go with no necklace (gasp!) especially with the beautiful neckline of your dress.

  2. I agree with Kendall. My personal favorite is #9. I think it will be a statement without taking anything from the hair piece (which is GORGEOUS, by the way). Plus it will make a cleaner line on your throat and add more elegance.

  4. 6 or 8, I agree that you should want to balance the hairpiece and I absolutely love your combo for bracelets... But remember, if you do something like 1, which is lovely but big, you want to make sure it doesn't hide too much of your neck, just as you don't want a 'bib' to cover down to your neckline... not that I think those 6-12 will. Honestly, with that hairpiece, big pearl stud earrings and a short strand or two of pearls would be perfect, but with a white dress and hair piece, you might want to pick something like 3-4 In silver and white (or at least closer to cream) or 2 with half the bulk. Just my thoughts! But you'll be lovely with any of these!!
