I have the dress, veil and shoes. How do i decide what jewellery to wear? I always wear a watch, have decided not to for the wedding, but feel very self conscious and naked without something on my wrist. I've also been looking at headpieces, again am very unsure about having one or not. My hair will be up and a comb would add to the look without the veil but i don't know if it will take the focus from the veil, if that makes sense. How have you all made your decisions?

My H2B’s cousin had a side comb accessorie with a veil also and it looked gorgeous, her veil was quite high up and sat just behind the comb, looked gorgeous.
Why not opt for a delicate bracelet, I got mine from Swarovski they do a beautiful classic range (mine is part of the Angelic collection)
Good luck :)

I feel the same as you with regards to a watch. I wear one every day - even if I am not going out. I think I will replace it with a petite bracelet for the wedding day x

Agreed with Lauren, a nice bracelet would make you feel less naked and perfect to give that detail if you chose not to go for a headpiece. X

I wore a comb with my veil and it worked beautifully. I had my hair up in a knot and the comb was added to the side of it

I'm asking for a new watch as a gift off my kids for the wedding. Seen a lovely one which is discreet and minimalistic

I didn't have a veil or a headpiece. I had a faux hawk with baby's breath and a rose gold and pearl backdrop necklace. I have a lot of facial and ear piercings as well as plugs so didn't want too much other jewellery. I wore pearl and rose gold labrets in my lips, rose gold and pearl bcrs in my ears and septum, rose gold scaffold and tongue bars and custom clear plugs with real flowers in the resin. I had a long cape hence why no veil but I wanted a necklace for when I took my cape off. :)

Don't overthink about things!
I got an earring and necklace set from Johnny loves Rosie I got my bridesmaids matching sets too.
I borrowed a ring as my something old something new something borrowed something blue and a lucky sixpence in my shoe.
I also ended up wearing a Tiffany ring necklace and bracelet my husband bought me as a wedding gift :)
I got a clip in head piece thing that looked gorgeous on the pics would def recommend it to add a bit of glamour to your veil I don't think it takes the focus away at all as long as it's quite subtle :)

My something borrowed was a comb from my sister, which slid in above my veil so it looked like it was part of it. My engagement ring was sapphire so I found some nice earrings and a bracelet with a similar coloured stone and just kept it simple :)
