I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I am not totally happy with how I look in my dress, but I am not sure what to change. Any suggestions?

no pic

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

did you see how you would look if your hair was up?

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

Maybe try a different necklace? It was hard to see this one in the pics. That could really change the look of it. It looks beautiful!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I would definitely try a necklace or maybe a veil with some sparkles/pearls. Just a suggestion.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

Maybe some flowers in your hair?

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I think you look great in the dress, but I think you should definitely pull your hair back for a sleeker look. I'm not sure how I feel about your necklace. I think you could do better. Aside from that, I think the dress is beautiful and you are going to look fabulous

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I think the veil is really pretty but you need something else in your hair, too. Like a tiara or a satin headband, or just a small sparkly/rhinestone hairpin. Or a few flowers.

Your dress is gorgeous!

I think you'll look fabulous the day of...how are you wearing your hair? Makeup? I think once you have those 2 things added to the dress It'll be perfect.

I was thinking about changing the necklace because it doesn't seem to look right, but I don't know what style to look for. Any suggestions?

i agree. the neckline is so different and unique that i don't even think a necklace is needed.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I'm partial to pearls. Your dress is beautiful and it looks beautiful on you.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

Definitely put your hair up, it would look so much more elegant. And I think a necklace with some sparkle in it would juice it up a bit!! Your dress is gorgeous!!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

You look beautiful. I think a headpiece and your hair up will definately add to the look! Congrats!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

first of all, your dress is just gorgeous and and so unique. And you are a very pretty girl and look so beutiful in it!

I think sometimes its hard to see the "entire picture" and until you do pull it all together then you really feel "right" in your gown.
I know that until I saw my gown altered and pressed, and put it on with my veil and tiara, I STILL was uncertain ..

Trust us that once you have your hair done the way you want, and all the little details added, you will see how beautiful you are in that dress

I'll chime in and also suggest perhaps not wear a necklace at all .. the one you have on takes away from the beauty of that neckline.. and depending on your style, maybe go for some sparkle with a tiara or hairpins ..

but trust us, you do look great in your gown!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I DONT THINK YOU NEED ANYTHING FANCY NECKLACE WISE. MAYBE JUST A BEAD OF PEARLS WILL LOOK VERY NICE WITH PEARL EARINGS. ALSO, YOU SHOULD WHERE YOUR HAIR UP AND PULLED BACK, KIND OF LIKE A JACKIE O LOOK. THE DRESS IS GORGOUS WHERE DID YOU GET IT? I LOVE THAT STYLE. YOU DO LOOK VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I agree, I would try a simpler necklace like a strand of pearls. Also you should definitely show off your neckline & shoulders. Try pulling your hair up or doing a half up/half down.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

What about this one? It is simple and elegant.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

Your dress is GORGEOUS and the material is exquisite! I wouldn't change a thing as far as the gown.....
I personally feel like you don't need a necklace. I think the necklace takes away from the gown.....less is more and that gown is SO ELEGANT as is. Maybe really nice chandelier earrings and with yourmakeup and hair done nice....WOW!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

here is my opinion-hair up, and with that neckline, i'd say just do long chandelier earrings like these:

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I agree... the hair & necklace will give you a completely different feel if you played around with it.

good luck!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

Your gown is beautiful...I think your hair in a chignon would look gorgeous...no necklace, chandelier earrings...I would go with a different veil - maybe a cathedral length - something elegant and dramatic would suit your gown perfectly.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

Beautiful gown. My suggestion, pull hair back and up. Maybe try your veil in a different position. Add a headpiece/tiara of some kind. And although the necklace is pretty, I think maybe something wider and closer to your neck -- a choker? -- would offset the neckline of the gown better.

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I have to echo the rest of the girls here - with that kind of neck line you need a different necklace and pulled back hair.

It's a beautiful dress!!

Re: I feel like there is something missing... (w/pics)

I think a pearl necklace would look beautiful with your dress!
