Bridesmaid Jewelry- opinions?

Well, after the fiasco with David's Bridal, I found another dress that I love and have chosen for my bridesmaids. Here it is- it's the second from the right. The sweetheart neck with the bow. The color is the one shown. And the shoe I have chosen is this:
I chose silver shoes instead of gold because the dress has black undertones, and I think we will do black tuxes with dark grey/silver vests. I just thought silver went better with that. So now my dilemma is what jewelry to have my bridesmaids wear. I think the dress looks nice with a necklace, but what kind? What do y'all think? I've thought about pearls or even a dainty silver necklace, but I like the chunky look of the necklace in the picture. However, I don't want whatever I choose to cost a whole lot. I really don't want to give my bridesmaids the necklace/earrings they wear as their main gift because some of them just aren't into that sort of thing and would probably never wear it again. I thought if I chose pearl necklaces, they could each choose their own to wear, which would be unique, and if they didn't have a pearl necklace, they could always borrow them. I have several, in fact. Do y'all think pearls would look good with the dress and shoes, or something else? All ideas are appreciated!! Thanks, and have a great weekend :-) **P.S.- Can anyone tell me why blogger won't let me put spaces between paragraphs. I put spaces and then when I preview or publish, it runs them all together in one big paragraph. It has just started doing this- frustrating!!

  1. I love the color/style of the dress -- at least it is something your girls could wear again!! The shoes are cute too -- I would wear those again as well!

    As far as the necklace goes, I think a dainty silver necklace would be cute. I got my girls one of those "circle" pendant silver necklaces.. it looked cute in the pictures!

    good luck! let us know what you decide!

  2. ooo I love that dress. I love the color and the style. So pretty and classy. I like the shoes too. You did a great job picking it out. I think a dainty silver necklace would look the best. : ) Pearls are a good option too. Hope your doing well. I have enjoyed reading about your wedding planning. :)

  4. Oooh adorable dress!! And I love that color!!

    I think you may be using an old version of the publisher? Have you selected the "blogger in draft" function? There should be a check box on your dashboard...

  5. I also chose this color to use in my wedding (with black shoes). I let the girls pick their own style of dress, which helped them stay within their budget and body type. They ended up picking dresses that really worked together. Their jewelry was my gift to them, a pearl jewelry set for each of them- included a necklace, earrings, and bracelet. I thought having the same jewelry united them. I really like the idea of having pearl jewelry, either owned by them or borrowed. That will give their look some independence from the other girls' looks. A statement piece would also be a great idea too, though. Either way, you've picked an absolutely lovely color for your wedding!

  6. great choice!! how about a pearl cluster necklace? it has the chunky feel of the necklace in the pic, but is still classic (i know lots of cheaper stores carry them such as francescas!). i just found your blog, and am liking it! please stop by mine!

  7. I love the dress choice! Have you thought about going to a bead store and having them made pendants out of a single grey/silver pearl? Hang it on a chain and it should only cost $10 to $15 each depending on the size of the pearl (and natural vs. swarovski).
