Bring on the wedding jewels! But first…

If you are not getting married to me in October, please follow me after the jump.
Jump!

A couple of weeks ago I ordered some bracelets off eBay for the low low price of $15 total. (I love me some eBay!) The eagle has landed, and I have my bracelets in hand! They took way less time than expected since they were traveling all the way from China. For the price, I am quite pleased with the quality. While the bracelets won’t be family heirlooms, they will definitely get me through the wedding.

Pretty! Originally I thought I would go with the second bracelet. However, I am so glad that I ordered both and tried them both on. The second bracelet is just a little too big and slides up and down my arm. It also jingles and swings around. It is fine now, but I imagine it would get distracting/annoying on wedding day.

I also ordered earrings last week, and they just arrived! The earrings came from The Aisle New York. If you haven’t been to this website, go there…now! I will wait. It is a discount website for bridal wear. They have dresses, jewelry, veils, and even sashes. I ordered the TI ADORO pearl and pave earrings. They are gorgeous!

Hello, lovelies

Creepy closeup of my ear

The earrings go with either bracelet, so no conflicts on that front. I am still debating wearing plain studs since I rarely wear drop earrings. The drop earrings do make me feel fancier, though. No necklace for this bride, so unless I change to the studs I can officially check jewelry off my list!

How much do you love The Aisle New York? Any opinion on the great stud vs. drop-earring debate of 2011?

Beautiful! My current stress point is the jewelry. I’m going for a specific look and haven’t found a thing I like! Perhaps I will have to try this Aisle New York business…

@Miss Ladyfingers: I am right with you on this! Went into a store yesterday, explained exactly what I was hoping to find, and walked out searching for my Ativan… Ugh. Crossing fingers for you!

Thanks for all the input. I think I am leaning towards the drop earrings. They really are sooo gorgeous!
