My Dress w/pictures!!!! Jewelry Question

[fireprincess2009]

So here I am in my dress after alterations. Thankfully, 2 of the 6 pairs of shoes I had work!

I was going to put white flowers in my hair since I'm not wearing a veil but I found an orange one just yesterday so I brought it in to see how it would look. I love the orange flower. I haven't figured out just how to wear my hair though.

So here are some pictures. Sorry I didn't have much of a smile on. The seamstress kept talking to me while my FMIL was trying to take the pictures. So what sort of jewelry would look good with this?

Can't wait to hear what everyone thinks!

It's fantastic! I LOVE the orange. You're going to be a stunning bride. Congrats.

[MrsDM]

You look so pretty!!! I agree, that orange color is awesome!

[SkippyNXC]

very pretty! as for jewelery b/c ur dress isn't too "blingy" i would go w/something sparkly that falls just below the collar bone.. i think pearls would get lost... nothing too busy but not as simple as just a solitaire pendant.. i know that doesn't really help... or maybe it does but if i see anything that illustrates what i'm saying i'll post it LOL

kinda like this: http://www.weddingfactorydirect.com/hp7816neb7816.html

or if u want pearls: http://www.weddingfactorydirect.com/elvistpebrje.html

or if ur of simpler taste: http://www.weddingfactorydirect.com/dajesetne.html

lol that's the website i've been looking @ for examples for what i want... i have no experience buying thru them tho, they just have A LOT of tiaras n bridal jewelery

Your dress is GORGEOUS! Love the orange and the flower in your hair. You're going to be such a beautiful bride! :)

[WBandMe]

It's beautiful, and you look perfect in it! I love the orange flower.

[gwenshack]

Wow - it's perfect for you. Such a great dress on your figure and the splash of color really gives it some life. Congrats to you on a great dress! :)

[Danielle9608]

Wow I really love your dress. Its really unique. You totally rock that dress too!

[Qtpie]

what a beautiful dress. You are going to look amazing on your BIG DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[mitch]

Gorgeous Dress. Love the splash of colour. :)

I noticed there's something shiny on the Sash itself. Could You maybe find something like that to wear. Or maybe something with Orange in.

I love the last necklace that Skippy linked to. You don't need anything too dingle-dangly. That would only take away from the Orange and the Pick-ups on the Skirt.

I wore a Black Choker with a Red Enamel Ankh to My Wedding. It filled the gap between head and top of Dress. And wasn't too Dressy to take away from anything else.
Mind You, i wore a Red Dress. So it was hard to take anything away from the colour lol.

Either way You look stunning. :)

Thanks so much everyone. I'm really excited - I was a little worried about the orange. (So was the seamstress, I guess)

I like the last necklace Skippy linked to also. I want to keep it simple I think. The shiny thing is a broach and actually I can move that and the "tails" to any point. She had it right on the side (for all the pictures w/the dress on me) but I moved it more toward the front and I like it that way.

So what you're saying Mitch is that I don't look like I'm wrapped in a duvet :rofl: Not sure if you remember, but I thought that comment (several months ago) was so funny!

[f77g4]

Great dress! It looks awesome and the orange flower in the hair is perfect!

Since your dress has a bit of bling from the broach I agree something simple would probably be best.

[FizaDesignsJewelry]

You have a lovely dress. I make jewelry and sell it online and on craft shows. I have a piece that would look lovely with this dress. It is a FreshWater pearl necklace (pearls on one side) with an orange carnelian hanging in the middle. I am new to this forum so I can not post pictures but you can contact me via email or by sending me a msg on this forum. Thank you!

[WebLady]

Wow I really love your dress. Its really unique. You totally rock that dress too!
I am agree; it is nice and looks great on you :)

I would probably do something with crystals to bring out the little jewel thing on the sash.

If it is a Duvet. Then it's one of those posh feather ones only available in Harrods. :rofl:

It obviously looks better on You than the model in the orignal photo. And the Orange Sash totally rocks it. :)

[wannabeNurse2]

I love the fact that you changed the sash! I don't know why Maggie Sottero doesn't offer the sash in more colors!

[Leilani]

totally adorable. congrats on your dress :)

[Heywie]

WOW! You look absolutely amazing! That dress is gorgeous on you! FH is going to melt!

[pinkbride]

wow you look stunning! i love the burnt orange! xx

[BnB]

LOVE LOVE LOVE It

and the orange

so close, good luck in case I am too busy before the big day

[ChristineLS]

I love orange as a general rule, and I think it looks gorgeous on your dress :D Perfect combination of dressy and happy!

You could wear whatever you want, in my opinion, because the dress is simple. I really like it :)

[RosieAngel]

Pretty! The little ribbon sash is very eye-catching!
