Bridal necklace, or not?

Question

If I want to de-emphasize my neck, is it best not to wear a necklace at all? The gown is spaghetti strap with beading at the empire waist and the hair is updo with a couple of flowers or a rhinestone headband (haven't quite decided yet, have both ready). I'm not planning to wear earrings or a veil, so the only "bling" would be the beading on the dress (just below bust) and something in the hair. Thanks for your thoughts.

Answer 1

I'd probably keep looking around for something dainty. There are lots of choices out there. If not then go with something pretty in your hair. I think sometimes that the jewellery makes the gown look complete.

Answer 2

at first thought i would say no on the necklace. with a strapless i would think a necklace would look nice last touch bring it together but because its spaghetti i dont think a necklace would be necessary because the straps, hair do, and beads work together to give it that hmmph. however, sometimes a necklace can help cover up whatever it is you want to hide. you may just try either posting some pics of you with and without a necklace or just ask the jeweler. they're supposed to be experieced so someone at a department store in either the beauty section or jewelry section should be able to better advise because they can actually see the issue.

Answer 3

Honestly, this depends on how low the dress front is and how short your hair is, as well as the reason you want to de-emphasize your neck (double-chin, super long neck).  

If you have a naturally long neck with a low dress front and short/updo hair, then it may be better to wear a chunky necklace to break up the line of skin (which would actually make your neck look longer than it is).  If the dress line is higher and/or your hair is shoulder-length or longer (and down), then the necklace will only emphasize your neck.

Answer 4

I would say no necklace, and go with the flowers in the hair.

Answer 5

With a necklace on, it does bring emphasis to that area.

I agree to stay away from that.

Why not earrings ? They can be any size or style and look good on everyone.

Have fun.

Answer 6

you should at least wear earrings, just some pretty studs of some kind. i agree with skipping the necklace, you could overdo it. but i think really strongly you should at least wear stud earrings, diamonds or pearls, whatever match.

Answer 7

I would say that if your goal is to de-emphasize your neck than don't wear a necklace.  Since your dress has bead work on it the attention will be drawn there. That  combined with your headband/flowers should be all you need. Sounds like you're already set.

Answer 8

Skip the necklace.  Consider a bracelet.
