Over accessorizing?

[sunnyd]

I know there are rules, how many would I be breaking if I did this?

1. Little earrings but they have to be dropped a little (no studs) because the holes are really high on my lobe.
2. Triple strand pearl choker
3. Dana Saylor-esque bracelet - big and chunky!
4. Ribbon tied hair band that would likely drape down my back a little.

Is that too much? What should I take out? I love the bracelet though, wanna keep that.

Here''s my dress for reference:

oohh! your dress is gorgeous!

I don''t think that''s too much because it''s not all centralized in one area. You are wearing a nice necklace and dainty earrings with a ribbon in your hair. Your statement piece seems to be the bracelet. I would say go for it!

I would try everything on with the dress then decide what to remove. I know i have too much stuff so I will be removing items. However what I don''t wear to the wedding I''ll use for the rehersal dinner.

I don''t think that''s too much at all. It sounds like they will go fab with your dress.

It all sounds good to me! Though, I agree with emeraldlover1- try everything on together and see if something looks out of place then remove it. Maybe they will all look good together.

I was also going to say wear some of it for the wedding, then the others for the reception to change it up a bit if it does turn out to be too much. (i.e. maybe pass on the ribbon for the wedding but put it on for the reception?)

Ditto to wannaB. I think if most of the pieces are dainty and you have one that''s more of a statement (sounds like the bracelet is) then I don''t think it''s a problem. Just make sure you try them all on together. Maybe take a picture too because I think sometimes you see things in pictures that you didn''t see when you look in a mirror (and we''d like to see the picture too, of course!)

If I had to pick one to get rid of I would lose the triple strand pearl choker. I think that might be too much with the gorgeous neckline of your dress. Maybe you could do a dainty chain and a single drop pearl instead? Everything else sounds perfect, though!

Ditto this. It''s hard to say without seeing, but I think the necklace may be too much with that gorgeous neckline.

Agreed.

Everything sounds nice but the triple band choker may be a little much - like the others say you need to try it all on together. Sometimes chokers, especially thick ones, take away from the delicate bridal look.

I don't think you're breaking any rules... I thought I was way under-accessorized and I was wearing similar stuff (double-strand pearl bracelet, wedding set and two stacked bands on the right hand, gold locket, and diamond studs, gold hair stick with porcelain birds).

Off hand it looks like there''s a lot of texture to your dress, so the 3 strand pearls may be a bit of overkill?

We can''t see you, but you can. I think you''ll have to put it all on and see what you think.
