Last Minute Decision

September 29th, 2009 @ 12:16 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

With less than six days until our shindig and nothing to accent my lovely lobes, I stumbled upon an image while on our photographer’s blog.

Last Minute Decision :  wedding jewelry Earring071 earring07

Not only is she stunning, but so are her earrings. Suddenly, I’d seen a pair of earrings that I thought might actually work.


This is going to sound silly, but earrings have actually been one of the hardest part of planning this wedding (well, beside the emotional ups and downs and maybe writing my own vows).

Just a little earlier in the day, Miss Frozen Yogurt had posted about Roberta Chiarella jewelry. I’d never heard of it. I took a gander and ended up ordering these lovely beauts in gold:

But as soon as I saw that bride above, I knew I had to have her earrings. I emailed our photographer to see if he’d put me in touch with her. Sure enough: bride meets bride, and earrings are ordered.

At this point, I’ll have a handful of earrings to try on with my dress. Oh, right. My dress. I’ll get that on Thursday once I’m up in Colorado with my wedding on, um, Sunday. Yep. Let’s just hope all of my alterations came out the way they should have.

Did you make any last-minute splurges from indecision? Which earrings, above, do you like better?

I love the second pair! Would you mind sharing the source? You think finding your earrings are hard I have 5 ear piercings to fill up! Your choices are both beautiful! Maybe you could change for the reception, especially if you will be rockin’ a second dress. Yay for impulse wedding splurges!!!

@MissBoulevard: @TravelBug: Hit the “source” link under the image and it should take you to the Max & Chloe page where you can order them from. They’re only $38 to boot!

i LOVE option #2! they’re exactly what i’m looking for, so i might have to get a pair myself…. i can’t believe they’re only $38! i’ve also already bought 2 pairs and my wedding is not until May 2010…. but a girl can have more than 1 pair of earrings, right??

The second pair are more interesting, the first pair are classic. I’d keep them both! lol
