Today could not have gone better. In Denver, pre-wedding, I made it to Saks Fifth Avenue with all of my bridesmaids in tow to pick up my gown. Yeah, three days out. I was nervous for all sorts of reasons—it had been four months since I’d tried the dress on, I hadn’t seen it with its final alterations, and there was a lot of pressure with my girls there to make sure it looked perfect!
Here are the results:
(MR. CB, THAT’S YOUR CUE!)
The bridesmaids brought champagne!
Now, I have a decision or two to make. The Chloe & Max earrings didn’t end up working out, nor did the Roberta Chiarella ones. They were both a little too blingy.
1) Do I go with the J. Crew belt and pearl studs? See below.
Or, 2) No J.Crew belt with long, pearl earrings?
I’m kind of loving the J Crew belt with the studs and hair flowers, but I’m not sure if it will be too busy with a bouquet. The color from the belt is really warm and beautiful, though.
Love the belt and I like the dangly earrings if you’re not wearing a necklace.
I voted for the belt because it felt like it went with the vibe of your wedding more, but either option would look gorgeous!! How exciting!!!!
Oh wow, you look beautiful! I say the studs and j crew belt. It looks amazing!
The belt jazzes up your already jazzy dress! I vote, belt and studs!
I would do dangly earrings, no belt for the ceremony. Then add the belt for the reception (keeping the dangly earrings). Your dress is so simple and elegant, it can carry both together.
I prefer the pearls without the belt, it looks more classic.
Love the belt, but I agree with you it will be too much going on with your bouquet etc. Your dress is beautiful, the draping etc. I wouldn’t distract from it with the belt. An idea is maybe you can add the belt for the reception of some pics…But I love the dress alone.
You look stunning, Miss CB! I love the belt, but I love the dress on its own, too… I’m torn!
Regardless of what you choose, your dress will look beautiful!
i like the look of the belt, but if you think it may look too busy paired with your bouquet, why don’t just use the belt for the reception, and no belt for the ceremony? either way, you’ll look gorgeous!
I agree with Clover: I would do dangly earrings, no belt for the ceremony. Then add the belt for the reception (keeping the dangly earrings). Regardless you are going to look stunning!
I really like the belt and don’t think it looks like too much! The rest of your dress is really simple so it works.
I voted for no belt. I think the dress is beautiful as-is and the fabric around the waist looks kinda like a belt anyway. The bouquet will be perfect against the “no belt” area! Does that make sense? LOL
I think the belt is just the sweetest thing. Maybe at least for your portraits/reception?
I would say no belt for ceremony, then add it in for the reception since you won’t be holding your flowers anymore 
And go with the dangly ones 
It looks great, i ended up voting “belt” but either way will look gorge. Sorry if I missed the blog-entry where you mentioned what shoes you’ll be wearing on wedding day - but did you consider wearing Cowboy Boots?! Just came from a wedding in Nashville and the bride slipped in to cowboy boots for the reception….cutest thing ever.
Best Wishes! It’s been fun reading your wedding updates!!
please please wear that belt, its sooo sweet & beautiful.
i am pretty plain with accessories, but you could totally do the pearl earrings with the belt! I love the belt though if you are only picking one!

When I'm not at work, I'm snowboarding, hiking with my two dogs, mountain biking, surfing, cross-country-skiing, or boating New Mexico's rivers. Despite my boyish love for adventure, I'm a girly-girl at heart and am overly-excited to pull off the romantic, vintage-inspired, country wedding of my dreams.
