Classic Bridal Accessories
As we count down to the wedding day, I am really getting down in the weeds of all the little details, including the finishing touches on my wedding-day look. I had a general idea of how I wanted my wedding-day jewelry to look. I really like delicate jewelry, and I am wearing a super blingy belt, so I knew any super big or blingy pieces would draw attention away from my dress. I started my hunt for classic bridal accessories.
Blue Mom has been pushing for string pearls, since she feels this look is timeless, and I think she may have worn them on her wedding day, too. Mrs. Horseshoe wore some beautiful pearls for her wedding day, and it is truly a gorgeous and timeless look.
I happened to be wearing my favorite necklace the last time I tried my dress on. It was a gift from Mr. Blue Moon about four years ago, and it is the only piece I regularly wear besides my engagement ring.
It’s a freshwater pearl, and I have since upgraded the chain to a white gold one. I was surprised by how pretty it looked with my dress. It complemented the look without taking away from it, and most importantly, it really helped me look and feel like myself. I know a lot of brides may not want to wear a piece they’d wear any other day, but I am sentimental and Mr. Blue Moon is, too, so I can’t imagine a more perfect necklace.
My Nanna generously offered to lend me the rest of my jewelry, and I went over today to try some things on.
