Which jewellery with this wedding dress?

Getting married later this year, and I'll be wearing this dress (this is not me, obvs). I'll be wearing a fingertip veil as well, and possibly a pearl or possibly sparkly belt. What sort of jewellery would you go for? I can't decide between statement earrings or a statement(ish!) necklace.

Great taste op!

MrsAldoKane · 18/06/2021 19:42

Also, I am going to need a bra with more solid engineering than the empire state building! I'm approx a 36/38 DD/E - where can I get a strapless bra that will make my boobs look like that?!

The second earrings and no belt, wonderful dress

waltzingparrot · 18/06/2021 19:52

I'd wear a pair of teardrop pearl earrings only.

Wonderbra strapless - it has plastic bits inside almost like hands. Can’t really explain but it’s amazing!!

Does the dress have a corset or boning built in?

MrsRockAndRoll · 18/06/2021 20:21

If not Bravissimo & make sure you have the bra before your fittings

The dress is beautiful

BasiliskStare · 18/06/2021 20:24

Having looked at the dress again - I think if you are having a lovely veil - too much jewellery is going to make it look less elegant - so I think either of your pearl ear ring options would lovely or indeed sapphire if that goes - forget the belt / necklace - aim for elegance rather than Christmas tree.

Gorgeous dress. Agree no belt. A pp said a drop pendant sapphire might look good, perhaps vintage style? But I don't think you need anything at all. Can't HRH lend you a sparkley tiara? Wink

thefirstmrsrochester · 18/06/2021 20:35

Stunning dress, it’s simplicity is what gives it impact. No necklace at it will interfere with the ‘off shoulder’ design, no belt as it will interfere with the elegant simplicity. Maybe a beautiful fresh flower hair slide if you are wearing your hair up, maybe drop earrings, but not both. You are going to be a beautiful bride OP

Nobeautysleep · 18/06/2021 20:35

No belt, second pair of earrings are stunning. Could get some small, delicate pearl clips for your hair.

Your dress is absolutely beautiful.

StCharlotte · 18/06/2021 20:44

Agree - second pair of earrings.

Can we see your engagement ring?

DGFB · 18/06/2021 20:54

Gorgeous drop earrings and nothing else

excelledyourself · 18/06/2021 20:56

Sapphire and diamond drops

With that neckline I'd avoid a necklace, I think it would be far too much. Earrings, maybe a bracelet? I agree with others - simple and sophisticated.

inappropriateraspberry · 18/06/2021 21:12

Go to Bravissimo if you can. They will fit you really well.

paradyning · 18/06/2021 21:20

Beauty dress. Definitely no necklace, it will ruin it. Elegant drop earrings would be lovely with your updo.
Live those sapphire ones linked

paradyning · 18/06/2021 21:21

*beautiful!
And those wonderbra bras did wonders for my 34Es

MrsAldoKane · 18/06/2021 21:32

@StCharlotte this is my engagement ring. Ignore the wedding ring, I loved it but it's vintage and by the time I'd made up my mind someone else had bought it Sad.

So - the majority opinion is something like the second earrings I linked to, no belt, and if I REALLY want something else I might consider a plain silver bracelet/bangle.

I might try there too. Can't hurt to take a few bras to my fitting and see which one works best... @MrsRockAndRoll no boning or similar, I was considering spanx though...

I would absolutely not wear a necklace with that dress. It's so beautiful and simple.
