(Sister Pudding, you are not welcome here)
With the BM dresses ordered, it was time to move on to choosing the accessories for my beautiful ladies. Even though I toyed with the idea of blinging out the girls with coloured stones, in the end I decided that classic pearls were probably the way to go.
I was imagining long strands of pearls. Something that the girls could each wear in their own distinctive way. Something like this:
The other day I was leafing through a flier from Macy’s, and noticed that their pearls were on sale. I took this as a sign, and went to the store to check out their selection.
As it turns out, long strands of pearls like in the picture above are super expensive! If I want to achieve that look, we are going to have to go faux.
The trip wasn’t a total failure, though. They did have a great selection of traditional pearl sets on sale. I picked up two of these bad boys:
The set, including necklace, bracelet, and earrings, came to a total of $39.00. Considering the fact that these are real freshwater pearls, they were a total steal!
What kind of blogger would I be if I didn’t model them for you, a la Price is Right?
I’m still in love with the idea of multiple pearl strands, but was thinking that this could be a nice gift even if the girls didn’t wear them for the wedding. I know that neither of my maids owns a set of pearls, and this could be something that they will treasure forever.
What are you planning on gifting your bridesmaids?
Very pretty! I think I got the exact same set when I was a BM last year. 
Love those pearls! What a steal! I’ll have to go and check out the selection at our Macy’s… I’d like pears for myself : )
pearls are classic–they will definitely get to use those! and that’s an unbelievable price.
I know this is totally missing the point, but the dress in that first picture is amaaaazing! Anyone know anything about it?
Oh you have a similar idea to what I have. I found this amazing designer on etsy that I love. I am getting a 5 strand twisted necklace of pearls custom made in mixed colors. Two of the strands white, 1 yellow, 1 silver, 1 pale pink. She is really helpful and will do whatever you want.
you could supplement the real strand with piles of fake ones. just bring the real ones to the fakie store so you can compare colors.
love the pearls you found! i got my sister one of those kits that you have to pry the oyster open to get the pearl, and then stick it into the necklace. lol. I’m sure her 5th grade biology-loving self will love it!
So pretty and perfect! I’d love to do something like that for my ‘maids.
That’s a great deal, and they are such a nice gift!
