Jewelry and Hair

It's really early to be thinking about this, but I'd rather do this than be writing finals.  Bobby wants to get me bridal jewelry as my wedding present, so he's asked for guidance.  Here is what I sent him...


I'm really thinking that I don't need a necklace, since the earrings and bracelet are so ornate.  And the dress has some sparkle to it also.  What do you think?

The other question is hair.  I like the idea of an soft updo so that I won't have to worry about it all night and my hair will up off my neck.  But, half up/half down is appealing because I think it can be more elegant and anytime my hair is down I think it thins my face slightly.  Here are some examples of what I am thinking about...



(without as big of a poof)


I'd love some feedback!

  1. sooo, my thoughts on the jewelry might be affected by the dress, once i see it in person. i will let you know then.

    as far as hair, i'm not sure i have ever seen your hair half up? how would that be possible? i agree with something soft. i think we should do a test run, just rough, when i see you next week (next week!!!) and then talk about it more. sound good? :)

  2. I agree no necklace with big earrings. I saw lots of this kind of thing in NY but as you know, you have to be careful they don't look fake or cheap. I saw some lovely afffordable ones at Henri Bendel in NY. I can show this to Wendy who took us to the wholesale places. She offered to take us if we want to plan a trip to NY?

  3. I like the ideas above. Are you letting your hair grow long?

  4. Nevien is bringing me samples of floral ideas on the 22nd so I can bring them home for you to see.

  5. I echo Joani's comments: you must see the jewelry in person because A LOT of it looks cheap. I'm not a huge fan of the bracelet - I think you need to try it on. Also, on the hair, are you growing your hair out? If so, the half up could look really nice but I think I'm leaning toward the up-do!

  6. This is an online place, but seems very reputable. Tejani.com. I'll try and see if they have a store somewhere. I'm keeping my hair long, but it wont be as long as the women in these photos. So we'll see! Thanks for the comments!!! And Chris-I'll show you what I'm talking about next week. :)

  7. OK, update. They have a showroom in New York City. Mom (and anybody else who wants to come), let's try and plan a weekend up there to look at all of this stuff.
