Ok! I am in serious need of some honest opinions! I know you can help me out here!
For my wedding, my mom has asked me to wear the necklace she wore to her wedding. It is also the necklace that my sister wore on her wedding day. It is just a plain gold chain with a gold/opal/diamond pendant. So here’s the problem, it is soooo not my style or taste! I don’t even think it matches my dress. The blue on the opal really sticks out and I think it will be distracting to me when I see my pics! I am having such a hard time pairing it with earrings and a bracelet. I do want to wear it just because it is hers and I have a feeling I will regret it later if I don’t! I am probably just gonna s uck it up and wear it, but I am curious….. what would you guys do?
Pic is in album!

I think wrapping it around your bok would be a great idea.

I like the bo-k idea, or, could you pin it to the inside of your dress like a charm? Is it important that it is seen, or just that it is with you?

i like the bok thing too.
if it was me... i wouldn't do it. i'm a pain in the a$$ though.
wear it to your shower or something else. there's a million pics of you on the wedding day. wear what you like best.

I think your dress has so much detail work on it, it would be nice to wear that necklace since it will be small. Go for a big statement bracelet or earrings and make those the focus - no one else will even notice the necklace. It's a memory you'll probably always treasure if you do it and one you may regret if you don't. It's just such a sweet thing that she wants you to do - I'd hate to disappoint her!

Maybe you can attach it to your bo-k.

be honest with your mom, thank her but tell her the truth... then try to incorporate it some other way...i would pin the pendant to the inside of my dress or on my boquet .

I have the same situation (it was my Grandmother's necklace) so I'm incorporating it at other times. I'm wearing it to the RD and then on the bo-k on W-Day!
