Dress me!

I just bought a BM dress for a wedding I'm in this summer and it needs some serious accessories. The dress is in a foresty green colour (called jewelled green on the website here)

Problems: I'm allergic to most metals (so nothing with nickel or aluminum in it) and don't have pierced ears.

It's going to be a wedding outdoor, on a rock overlooking the Pacific ocean... I don't know... would pearls work? Necklace length? Do I forget the necklace all together?

Re: Dress me!

  • I think cream, gold or bronze pearls (something with a yellowish tint anyway) would look gorgeous! I think if you go with pearls, something in the 16-18" range would work.

    Or you could go without a necklace and wear a fabulous hair accessory, probably in gold.

    Love the dress!

  • Firstly, that dress is gorgeous! I love the cut and color.

    I think pearls would look lovely with the dress, as would many things. 

    Here are a few favorite etsy shops:

  • I think putting a cute drop earring would be nice and maybe a bracelet. I'm always worried about necklaces and the bride thinking it's too much or something. I like the idea of pearls, though, maybe in a more off white or if you could find bronze.

    Also, my MIL is allergic to jewelry and she goes through simplywhispers dot com. They have some cute stuff that might work. Not sure about the Canada shipping, though.

  • I personally love simple necklaces with strapless dresses. I agree that bronze pearls would look amazing with that color dress. I would choose a necklace length that will still show some skin between the top of the dress and the bottom of the necklace.

    ditto this, I'm a terrible accessorizer. I think the dress is awesome though.
