Calling all jewelry-loving bees!

The next task on my wedding to-do list is to pick out my bridal bling.

This morning, I was thrilled to find this vintage (and super affordable) hair pin up above to dress up my wedding ’do. It’s so cute!

But in the earrings and bracelet arena, I’m torn and would LOVE your thoughts on what would look best with my beaded deco dress by Jenny Packham.

Ahhhhh, my heart skips a beat every time I look at it. :)

Ok, now back to the bling. :) Since my dress—Papillion—is already super bedazzled, I’m thinkin’ less jewelry is more. I l-o-v-e the simple elegance of Gorjana’s jewelry and have narrowed down my earring and bracelet choices to these beauties. And since you’ve gotten to know me so well, I really truly care what you think!

THE EARRINGS:

Contender No. 1:

{Westerly Studs by Gorjana}

Contender No. 2:

{Cosmic Studs by Gorjana}

THE BRACELET:

Contender No. 2:

Now it’s time to vote! Are you ready??

I think Miss Ostrich should rock these earrings on her wedding day:

Ohhhhhhhhhhh! Your DRESS! It’s absolutely fab. I think it would look lovely with some drop earrings, perhaps like these cheapies from Target? http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/186-5249318-8222749?asin=B002KCP5EW&AFID=Froogle_df&LNM=%7CB002KCP5EW&CPNG=movies&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B002KCP5EW&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001

1) Your dress is gorgeous! YOU are gorgeous! :)

2) I love the Westerly studs and the Raleigh cuff. I can’t tell if the Westerly earrings are leaves, but they kind of look it, which is why I chose the cuff. Too, too cute!

Your dress makes my heart skip a beat, too! It’s so, so lovely! I ended up voting for the #2 option for both earrings and bracelet. There’s something very goddess-y about them!

Wow. That dress is absolutely breathtaking on you. As for the jewelry, I would go with the bling-bling hair comb and some slammin’ earrings and let it go at that. No need to gild the lily, as they say!

I voted for #1 in both categories! I think the Westerly studs will complement the hair pin better and look more organic. Your dress is beautiful, btw!

Your dress is lovely and I think it will look amazing on you, it seems to match your personality and physique perfectly!! Oh I can’t wait to the whole ensemble come together! For the accessories, I liked the Cosmic studs and the Skinny cuff, but all the choices are beautiful and delicate!
