Re: Strapless gowns--what jewelry to wear?

Re: Strapless gowns--what jewelry to wear?

I think the fact that's it's strapless doesn't mean quite as much as what the dress looks like. Is it very detailed or a little more plain? Post a pic of the dress and we can give you better advice.

OK, here's the pic of me in it. It does have some detail on the top front, but not too much, so it is pretty plain.

I would probably go with something not too ornate that sits on your collarbone and wear more elaborate earings. You look beautiful in your gown!

I agree...you do look beautiful! A necklace and earrings would look great. :)

I am wearing single strand pearls and tiny pearl earrings with diamonds. I tried chandlier earrings, which I love, but it didn't fit my dress. The wedding is in two and a half weeks, so I'll be able to post pictures in the future.

Beth, I wore a choker necklace and tiny dangly earrings. I wanted to keep it simple since all the bead work was at the bust of the strapless dress. I will try to find a pic for you tonight.....

Re: Strapless gowns--what jewelry to wear?

I wore small pearl drop earrings and no necklace with my strapless dress. The pearls were tear drop-shaped and hit my jawline. I think it really depends on the neckline and detail of the top of your dress- some look good with necklaces and some look better bare.
