Thank you. I've just realised they do a matching bracelet, so I think I'm sorted.

Seona - thanks for posting that. I never thought of M&S and my original jewellery is totally the wrong shade of just about everything for my dress...
Looks like a back-up in M&S is available! Must go and have a look  You little angel

They do have lovely stuff. All I could find anywhere else was white pearls and I really needed cream for my dress. The bigger M&S stores have the wedding departments where they should have everything to try on. And at only £15 for the choker I think I snagged a bargain!

Howdy folks.
This is sort of applicable to a post - question - that I have been umming an ah-ing about (sp?) for a few days.
I am having this dress is ivory (looks SOOO much nicer in the ligher colour as this is almost pinky cream) My Dress
Now, the prob arises....my grandmother's sister makes lovely freshwater pearl jewellery, and she wanted to make me something as a wedding present. I accepted, saying that I might...note MIGHT....wear a pearl necklace on the day, depending on what it looks like (I hadn't seen the dress at that point as I only tried the cream one on). Had first fitting on Saturday, dress is brilliant, but it is so detailed up top that it really doesn't need anything else up top, apart from little pearl drop earrings, which my great aunt has made as well. Necklace is lovely BTW!
I mentioned to grandmother that I may not wear a necklace as it would detract from the dress, and she said 'I think it would be nice to wear the gift and it would give my sister a boost' (my great aunt's husband died Christmas Day just gone). I would wear the earrings for deffo, but I don't want to end up looking overdone on the day, but also don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
Long post. Sorry.

What a gorgeous dress! I love the bodice detail - it must be stunning in a lighter colour.
I honestly think you should wear what YOU want, I completely agree that with such a detailed bodice you don't need a necklace - the model in the picture is wearing a chocker and it looks quite daft. Simple pearl drop earrings would look gorgeous.
How about just wearing the earrings for the wedding but wearing the necklace and earrings on honeymoon when you're dressed up for a posh meal with Hubby (or similar, you get the idea) and give Great Aunt a copy of the photo in a nice frame or something, to say thank you etc...? Just a thought. Then she knows that the gift was perfect for the wedding AND honeymoon and that you genuinely loved it. Its an older generation thing isn't it, being polite and doing something even when you don't really want to.
But its YOUR wedding and you don't want to look back at photos in years to come and think 'oh why did I wear that, it just doesn't look right'.
Good luck hun, hope I haven't confused you! xx

Nope m'dear, no confusion at all. GOod, sound advice!
Hadn't thunk of photo as thank you - good one! I suppose if I am wearing earrings anyway that should be OK.
I also don't think I need a tiara - tried a load on and I looked silly. G'mother thinks should have something so between a sparkly tiara, pearl necklace, the dress and drop earrings I'll look like an ivory Christmas tree!

Have found another website that is rather reasonably priced and handy
Have +weddingpath-ed it but just in case you're not used to using the +path handy pages
