I am getting married in December and I already have my dress but I have been trying to figure out how I should accessorize. My dress is a strapless. I can't decide if I should wear a necklace or big earrings or a bracelet. I don't know I need some help!

Well since you're wearing a strapless dress, I would either wear small earings and a simple necklace OR Wear medium size longer earrings and a really pretty bracelet (not matching exactly but something similar to the earrings) Anything sparkely will look beautiful you just don't want to over do it, It will look like you're trying too hard

Another helpful FYI from Trixie. I love simple jewlery and when I got married I wore a pearl necklace pearl bracelet and pearl earrings and a year or so later I read it has been an old tradition- for every pearl that you wear on your wedding day a tear will be shed oops Trix

Definately do not wear pearls on your wedding day! I did and have cried a lot of tears since then. You should stick with diamonds and keep it simple! Less is always better!

I think that you should go and buy the logo chanel earings size small and wear them. They are my favorite earings in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!

I love them as well, but do you think they would look good with my wedding dress?

Yes I do because they are a very classic looking earing. But if you are not wearing a necklace then maybe some dangle ones would be better.

Yeah I think I am not going to wear a necklace. I have been looking for some dangle ones but should I get long dangle ones or short dangles ones. I had picked out a pair of kinda cute ones but a friend of mine told me they were too intense. I don't know what to do

I say do Thin, long ones. Maybe just a single row of diamonds, that way they're versitile with whatever you wear out and about after the ceremony... Then you can wear a more elaborate bracelet

Yay I finally found my wedding jewelry. I have decided to skip wearing a necklace and wear a bracelet and some dangling earrings. I first found some cute chandelier earrings on theknot.com but when they got here I thought they looked a little cheap and they kind of hurt my ears. When I put them in my ears started turning red and stuff, probably because I am allergic to so much stuff. I ended up purchasing another pair of earrings and a bracelet that matches them at Macy's. I found them on their one day sale so I got a pretty good price. Here is a link to the bracelet

and then the earrings are matching. I am starting to get really excited and less nervous. I can't believe my wedding is next week

Well my las vegas wedding has come and gone and it was everything I could have asked for. I had so much fun and everything went perfect. I only had one problem. After carrying my dress in that big bag on the plane and everything my vail must have shifted inside and when I went to open it to check to make sure it didn't need to be steamed or anything before the ceremony my vail got caught in the zipper *yikes* well you know the rest I could not get that dam zipper out of my vail and it left a big hole I almost began to cry but realized hey I am in Las Vegas and there are tons of bridal shops around here. So my sister and I found a Jessica McClintock store and my wonderful husband gave me money to go buy my new vail. I ended up liking it much better than the one I had picked before and I got so many compliments. So here are the pictures I have been promising.

For me this is a simple advice,for a strapless dress with accessories.
In terms of accessories like the earrings and necklace, if you have an intricate earrings just wear a simple necklace, and if you have a simple earring wear an intricate necklace.
