That is the question.
Our thoughts: When it comes to accessorizing for the big day, necklaces should always be an accoutrement as opposed to the show stopper -- that's reserved for YOU (and the dress, of course). Here are a few things to consider:
Wearing a necklace with a simple, clean-lined gown can add a bit of pizazz and really bring the whole look together. If you’re wearing a dress that’s all about the fabric (with minimal lace and beading) and you really want to make a statement, consider something more elaborate—maybe even with a hint of color.
It's always beautiful when the necklace maintains the style and feel of the dress (whether it's vintage, romantic, or whimsical).
The neckline of the dress plays a key role in the type of necklace you choose. If you're wearing a gown with an interesting neckline, evaluate whether it’s already focusing attention to your face (which is the goal, of course!), and whether a necklace is even necessary at all.
Remember, sometimes less is more! If your necklace is particularly intricate or grand, think about keeping the earrings simple (e.g. diamond or pearl studs), or choose hair accessories that are on the small end of the tiara spectrum. It’s your wedding and you want to make sure you look like yourself (but fabulous, of course)!
Finally, stick to your personal style! If you are a fuss-free kind of gal, go with something basic, or keep your neck bare (hey there, gorgeous collarbone!). If your attire is typically a bit more funky or glamorous, don’t be afraid to try something a bit more chunky or with some serious bling. If you’re still unsure—make an appointment to revisit the sample of your dress to test out your jewelry options, or try them out with your gown at one of your fittings.
