Help me pick/find a necklace, please!!

[Blue824]

I rarely post, but my wedding is October 17 and today when I went to go look for a hair clip, the store I walked into over lunch made me feel AWFUL for not having one yet. I keep putting things off because it is such a small wedding (10 people, including us!) that I think I have this false sense of security that everything is going to pull itself together.

Anyway, I''d like to pick a necklace soon! I haven''t seen anything in stores I like but browsing Etsy I''ve found a couple. These two are my first favorites, but there are others. I can''t decide if these two are even a good option.

I''m attaching a picture of my dress, and here are the two links:

Necklace one - Double Strand:

Necklace two - Asymmetrical:

Oh, and I apologize, my dress pictures are from when I bought it, and therefore a good size or two too small!

Other details: I plan on wearing my hair down, similar to in these pictures, but with a crystal barrette (provided I can find one!)

Lol, I sure look a lot BIGGER in that dress than I do in person, I swear! The pictures looked better small on my screen

I really like the single strand. It''s beautiful!

I love them both!

I think I love the single more, but if you have your hair down, you might be covering the blingy brooch part. So I''d go with the double.

I love both necklaces! Though I think I slightly prefer the double strand one. They would both look great with your dress.

i think they are both beautiful but for your dress would choose the double strand b/c the way it drops mimics the v-neckline on your dress (which is gorgeous btw!).

While the double strand is beautiful, I have found the two strands always get twisted together and never lay straight. Then I spend all night trying to fix them, only to find them twisted up within 15 minutes. Second thought, you won''t like me for this. The asymmetrical necklace, has been oft discussed on PS here, will it stay in place. I have a suspicion the brooch will fall to the center of your neckline. But the single strand would be my choice, it is very pretty!

both necklaces are stunning "in theory" and would be beautiful with your dress. however, i do agree with what ilovesparkles said about the broach on the single not staying to the side. I think it would be much more of a nuscanse to have to adjust the single strand every time you move than to "untwist" the double after a REALLY fast dance... that is if you even have a problem with it twisting in the first place. The teardrop may be just heavy enough that it would resist the temptation to twist!

both are beautiful in pictures but (imo) the double would be more practical.
Also, i do love how it mimics the neckline of your dress (as lulu pointed out)
