Green Wedding Dress?

Question

I am getting married on St. Patrick's Day...second wedding...I'm an old broad...wearing a pale green dress(fantastic dress from David's Bridal clearance rack $37!). Having trouble with jewelry...the dress is listed as "peridot"...but it actually a light gray/green...I want something cool (and dangly - short hair)...but I don't want to overdue the shamrock thing I got going on....my girls (my niece/his daughter) are wearing black...it can be yukky mixing greens....

Answer 1

Gold and green are classic, so you could go with a variety of the dangling gold necklaces with maybe a few clear green gems. Or just straight dangly gold. Either way it will be stunning.

Congrats!

Answer 2

Don't call yourself an old broad...you should say I am going to be an older mature bride. The dress sounds suitable and very nice. I know the color you are talking about. Whatever you do, don't get jewelry with shamrocks...too much of a St. Patty's thing...Don't try to match your jewelry. I would get a lovely pearl necklace with a crystal pendant and small pearl and crystal earrings. You can use silver shoes with that color and it will look beautiful or have satin shoes dyed to match. Bouquet could be a center orchid, surrounded by beautiful white roses with soft green ivy cascading a little, not too long. This will carry over the green theme, but not too much. Suptle is the key word here. For the girls, if they are wearing black, then they should have white flowers, maybe mixed with roses with green tips that have been dyed, and then some ivy. Whatever you do, don't have the groom wear a bright green tie for St. Patricks...do the suptle thing, a white rose in his lapel and a nice diagonal striped tie, with the green of your dress, cream and beige and black. good luck

Answer 3

I love that color, but it is very hard to find anything that matches exactly. Citrine would be a gorgeous contrast to your dress and very modern and would bring the eye up to your face, while white/gray pearls would be toned down and elegant, and would kind of blend in with the dress rather than contrast it. I would take the dress with you when you go shopping, then you can get a better read on how the colors will/will not work.

Answer 4

Emerald earrings, and a matching necklace. I defiantly wouldn't do the shamrock thing for jewelry, it would be kind of tacky. Maybe you could throw some of the whole shamrock thing into party favors. But defiantly emeralds ( Even the fake kind. Wal-mart has some gorgeous(cheap) jewelry.

Answer 5

i know i seem out of place in this hen party but i just wanted to congratulate you on your wedding and the part where you dare to be different.

i like the idea of dangling jewelry but remember that on such an auspicious occasion as a wedding you need to wear the real thing baby. that is real gold or real gems or real whatever. these will be a keepsake from this momentous occasion. may i suggest elegant simplicity.

there i've had my say and wish you the very best on your new journey through life.

Answer 6

thats my b-day! best day ever!! i would go for pearls theres almost never a reason to wear them and they would go perfect with that dress. this is also a great excuse to wear gold noone wears yellow gold any more, that means gold is in. its beautiful and exotic and classic all at the same time. enough about colors , i would go for either a flashy stud
earing or a dainty dangle. a necklace is optional, you don't want to draw attention away from your face or your dress, so make sure your necklace isn't too distracting (another reasons pearls would be nice)

Answer 7

aw, thats going to look so pretty! congratualtions!
it would be easy to overdo the green, so i guess youd have to careful on that....i actually love cream or pearl colors with light colored greens, so maybe that would be a good color for your jewelry..and the good thing about that would be that it wouldnt be too hard to find a nice variety of jewelry in that color.

Answer 8

once you stated green wedding ceremony gown, I on the instant theory-approximately that green gown the actress who performed Scarlet O'Hara wore in long previous With the Wind. you be attentive to, the only that replaced into made from the curtains (yet nonetheless looked captivating besides). i like it! As on your wedding ceremony day, in simple terms be one hundred% particular which you will no longer experience sorry approximately it later. i like purple now (my favourite shade), yet in 50 years, i'm no longer so particular i'm going to pick photos of me in a purple wedding ceremony gown, so i pass with a classic white. in simple terms verify. As on your mom in regulation, refer to her. tell her its what you pick. She must be mad. i be attentive to truly some kinfolk could be over a coloured wedding ceremony gown (in weddings, all of us thinks they get a say in each little thing). So, is it nicely worth having your mom in regulation mad at you? if so, do what you pick. yet strikes do have effects. As for me, I care extra approximately protecting the peace then having issues "in simple terms the way i pick." The gown would not remember, my destiny husband does.
