Hokay, so I'm in my bro's wedding in September, and I have the dress and shoes figured out fo sho.
I went all bhldn on this one and got this dress (brooch sold separately):
Annnd their wedding itself will be taking place in the freaking mountains of Barcelona here: which is gonna be amazing, but not really conducive to stilettos, so I got these shoes:
...which I tried on in-store with the dress, so I know I won't look like a fool.
I think I want a super awesome necklace with some mostly gold/maybe some greenishness to it, but I haven't found the perfect thing yet. I've seen some earrings and bracelets that have the coloring/look I'm going for, but I'm opting out of big earrings for this one, since my ears are weak. Here's what I like to give you an idear:
Has anyone seen any statementy necklace in that kind of aesthetic? The wedding is relatively casual, but I still wanna look nice. I would like to keep it under $100 if possible.
J crew cabochon fan necklace with green stones. I saw this at the store, it is gorgeous in person! Sorry on my phone, can't link but easy to google. $150 though.
Mav that's GORGEOUS! I don't know if the spearmint would clash with the green of the dress though...its a really bright leafy green, and the cabochon green is more pastel, unless there was a darker green that you are referring to?
That was the only green I saw. Hmm, will have to look for something warm and tawny, green wise and not pastel green or jade/Kelly green.
I love the dress and sandals, you will look amazing for your brother's wedding!
Thanks! Upon closer inspection of the J crew one, there are some darker green stones in there.
I'm also thinking that I may not be opposed to something with LOTS of colors in it (but NOT like the one Cab posted, lol) as long as there is still some green. So something like the j crew flower lattice necklace, but with more green in it?

I can't link from this stupid phone, but check out Amrita Singh. She's on Haute, Gilt, Ideeli, and Rue all the time and never has less than a 50% coupon on her own site. I've never paid over $100 for a necklace. I think ypud like a lot of her stuff.

Yeah, I was thinking of her as well, but haven't gotten around to looking for anything. I have some time obviously, so next time I see it on any of those I'll check it out fo sho.

Ebay has a lot of her pieces on the cheap too. Check out her site though. I think you'll love her stuff.
This one is similar to the jcrew lattice one. I want it to NOT be $400 though, haha.
That goes for at least 75% or more off on sites like Gilt. Her mailing list coupons are weekly and never below 50% off. I love her toggle clasps. I'll bring a piece on Sunday if I don't wear one.

Yeah, I remember seeing it on one of the sites, but it was sold out. 75% off that one would be very much worth it! LOL

It's been out over 3 years now though and doesn't go nearly as quick. I've been stalking it regularly, but the timing on it being available and me be able to get more jewelry has never been quite right. Accessories are my weakness.
LOL Cab! Your taste doesn't suck! I actually love that one (Its Betsey!) buuuuuut there's no green in it, and it actually is mostly pink. I think she may have done that one in blues/greens too, but I can't remember, and am not seeing it anywhere anymore .
I do kinda like this one (okay I kinda love it cuz I love frogs, don't judge me), but I think its too kitschy/silly for the occasion.

I like the frog, but not for a wedding. Those pictures are going to be around forever and I don't know that you'd want to be identified with the frog necklace at every family function.

Very very true. Although, knowing me, I WOULD want to be "that frog lady" for the rest of my life, cuz I'm weird like that, lol.
OOOH! I really like that one. My instinct tells me that $95 is a lot to pay for Betsey on Ebay considering how much I've paid full-price for her stuff. Stupid ebay.
