    Hi everyone! I've found two pieces of jewellery that I think I'd like to have for my wedding but not sure whether they're as nice as I think they are! My bridesmaids are wearing sky blue and as I'm having fresh flowers (gerberas) I'm not going to be able to match the colour in my bouquet so I thought I'd try to subtly include the colour in my jewellery and possibly with a hair flower or something. Would you mind taking a look at my photos and telling me what you think? I'd really appreciate it!
    Also, was wondering about buying the bracelet as the gift for the bridesmaids to wear on the day instead of me wearing it - would that be better do you think?
    Thanks xxxx

    That is a great idea and will mean that you get to have it as your something blue.

    Thanks. Do you think it would be weird for me to wear the bracelet but also buy it as a gift for the bridesmaids? I think they'd really like it xx

    Yes I think the jewellery is lovely. And the bracelets would lovely with the bridesmaid dresses. I think thats a lovely way to add some more of your colour and you dont have to rack your brains out for gifts for your bridesmaids. x

    Hey, i really like the necklace but im not a fan of pearls really so i dont like the bracelet as much. i think i associate even real pearls with the fake ones and think they look a little tacky, sorry!!! but if you like them thats all that matters, everyone will have different opinions but its what you like that counts.

    im having gerberas too!! red ones, i love those flowers, they make me really happy, lol. xx

    Milly87 thats the only thing I was worried about! They are real freshwater pearls but I wasn't sure if they do look a little tacky...
    I love gerberas! The ones I have in my albums are hot pink but we're having lemon, cream and baby pink to go with the blue. It looks really pretty :o)

    aww thanks for all the nice comments about the dresses! Milly87 - I know, its really funny! Bless her, she was holding it in at the back because its far too big and was trying her very best not to be seen, but you can see her bottom in all the mirrors! classic :o)
    Sijen - thanks for saying that, I felt silly because it was falling down a bit but i hope it will look lovely when altered!
    and MelG i love the bridesmaids dresses too! Bargain at £57 each! :o) I absolutely adore that colour, but it didnt even occur to me until someone else suggested it. Its odd how things happen isnt it? xxx

    Of course - you can tell it's big around your chest and waist but that's good - It'll look amazing when altered!

    thanks! I've already lost 2 inches off both my waist and hips since i bought it, and off my boobs too! lol, I'm trying to lose a considerable amount more - she did say though that it wouldn't matter how much I lost because she'll just alter it as needs be xx

    I think the jewellery is lovely, subtle bits of blue so not to be to overpowering and in your face. Lovely x

    i think the jewellery is lovely and not too overstated, so would match totally but not draw the attention away from the dress :) x
