Yesterday I had my first dress fitting, which was super exciting (and made me feel super productive even though I just stood in front of a mirror and lifted my arms a couple of times), but it reminded me that I am utterly confused about how to complete my wedding look.

I’ve showed you my shoes, we’ve discussed earring options (which I’ve almost made a decision about thanks to all of you), and I’ve shared some other accessory inspiration that made my heart beat a little faster, but making final decisions is a lot harder than I imagined it would be.

As a reminder, this is what my dress looks like:

But first, time to go Mr. Pony. Don’t make me an angry Pony.

So, my dress (I decided not to post pictures of me in my dress before the wedding because I’m lame and I forgot to take pictures at the fitting):

Because my dress is quite simple, I don’t want to take away from it by piling on the accessories. But earrings alone don’t seem enough either. Since we’re getting down to the wire, these decisions are becoming more and more pressing. And I am coming to you ladies (and stylish gents?) yet again for assistance.

If I decided to add a necklace, I imagine it would be something delicate and understated so it doesn’t take away from the detail around the neckline of my dress.

Something dainty like this is what I am thinking:

Or I could take the opportunity to show off my love for the Hive:

I seriously might buy this anyway. And wear it every day. Necklace from Etsy seller Annekiel

Or I could add a bracelet, like this one I’ve been swooning over for a few weeks:

Bracelet from Tejani

One of my friends mentioned that a bracelet could get caught and snag my dress, which terrifies me, so I can’t quite bring myself to buy this bracelet even though I love it (someone tell me she was crazy and this would never happen, or did it happen to you? I need to mentally prepare for all possibilities).

And then there are hair accessories. Hair flowers, while lovely, don’t really fit the idea I have for my overall wedding look and I plan on wearing a veil, so additional hair accessories seem superfluous. But I can’t get pretties like these out of my head:

And now I’m back to my perpetual state of utter confusion where I endlessly search for accessories on the internet with no real idea of what, if anything, I should be searching for and ultimately buying.
