Thats a beautiful dress. What kind of veil are you wearing with it? How are you wearing your hair? Are you having a headpiece/comb/hairpins? I think you need to know all that before you decide on jewelry.

Re: WHAT KIND OF JEWELRY WITH THIS DRESS????help!
ok, using the same veil without that top tier.... I have a comb headpiece that is rhinestones, but subtle and not overpowering.... The dress has a layer of Lyon Lace over the whole top (that you can't appreiciate from the pic) so I don't want to look 'overdone'
I am thinking no necklace at all?????????????

How about using an 'invisible' chain with a simple, nice pendant (i'm thinking of using something like this with my dress--i just haven't found one yet!)

Wow, what a gorgeous dress!!!!
I am not a big fan of necklaces with wedding dresses, but thats just my opinion. The only thing I would consider would be possible a simple string of pearls, or maybe a small cross or other small charm on a thin chain. The earrings really depends on veil and hair.
Again, this is just my opinion

If you hair is up and the comb you are using is subtle, I would go with either
a) very ornate antique looking earrings, no neclace b) small but antique looking earrings with a dainty necklace.
Also - you have to factor in how 'busty' you are, how long your neck is, how round your face is.

I like the small cross idea also. Maybe a tiny rhinestone one on a simple chain. I don't know how the pearls would look though.

I would keep it simple...nothing that is too showy.

What are the factors?
Ok, I am about 5'2 (i have a relatively long neck from classical ballet dancing for years) but I have a decent bust for my size (34 C)
I have these antique earrings that were my grandmothers that I was thinking of wearing, but my biggest concern is looking like 'too much'

Re: WHAT KIND OF JEWELRY WITH THIS DRESS????help!
Can you post a photo of your headpiece and the earrings? That would be the best way to tell.
If you have a long neck, then I think somewhat ornate earrings will look great as they accentuate that feature.
Since you are petite and are not flat chested, a necklace might 'cut' you in the wrong way and make you look a little more boxy, when I think you are trying to go for the long and lean look, correct?
But its hard to tell without seeing exactly what you are considering.
Hope that helps!

Beautiful dress, I love it! I would go for dangly earrings and no necklace. I think a necklace would take away from your dress. The antique earrings you have would probably be lovely, especially because they belonged to your Grandmother.

Re: WHAT KIND OF JEWELRY WITH THIS DRESS????help!
Thank you everyone!!!! That was my initial feeling as well....
Since I just learned how to post pic's, it might take me a while to get a pic and scan of the earrings and headpiece, but I'll try....
Stef - you are EXACTLY right....the long and lean is what I am going for..
Marcella - My grandmothers antique earrings are big rhinestone drops that I think look something like what you have in mind....
Thanks for all the input and compliments!

Your dress is gorgeous. I agree with the other girls, I would keep it simple. Your grandmothers earrings sounds like they would look nice and they would have some meaning to you.
My dress was a bit similar to yours and I wore a small string of pearls and pearl earrings (they were my mothers). Here’s a picture to give you an idea of what it looked like.
