got my dress!!

[les12]

I just picked up my dress and I had to share some pics with you all. Any ideas for what type of jewelry/veil to wear? There is detail in the back, so I''m trying to decide what type of veil length I''d want to get. Any suggestions?

Here is the front:

So a few questions: I want to change out the brooch in front with something else, probably another antique brooch. If I do this, what type of jewelry would work?? I would love to wear a beautiful necklace, preferably one with a bit of color or a bold design, but I don''t want it to be too much with the brooch. What do you think I should do?

how bout a nice statement earrings in place of the necklace?

Are you having an afternoon or evening wedding? If it''s daytime, I''d go with a simple but sparklie pair of earrings and a pendant; if evening, I''d wear a larger pair of earrings and thinner necklace or reverse (dangling earrings but smaller scale with a substantial necklace). The gown itself is simple but stunning, and will be a great backdrop for whatever jewelry you want to wear.

Looks great on you!

I love love love that dress - is it amsale? It''s gorgeous. I would NOT wear a necklace with it, however, because i really think it will be distracting. I think the neckline and the brooch on the dress are enough, but i would do a fun blingy earring with it.

I LOVE it!!!! I would not do a necklace because of the neckline, but a really nice pair of blingy earrings. IMO, a necklace would distract from the beauty of the neckline

LOVE your dress. LOVE.

i agree...no necklace. I''d go for earrings that compliment whatever brooch you decide on.

oh, i love the brooch on it; what don''t you like about it & what brooch are you going to use there? and, for me, i''m always a fan of a bare neckline & statement earring. you could pull in some color that way. it depends on what type of brooch/necklace you''re thinking of. any descriptions for us?

btw, that gown is gorgeous!

Thanks y''all! I love it too It''s actually a Paloma Blanca. For a brooch I was thinking something different, that doesn''t look like it just came with the dress. I love antique jewelry and I wanted to find something vintage that would be an interesting detail on the dress, to make it more unique.

Any suggestions on what type of veil to wear?
