Accessories for my ensemble. Help me choose!
Permalink Closed

I'm attending a wedding reception this weekend. The couple is getting married at city hall today and we're attending a dinner reception at an Inn on Lake Micigan that has a rustic/pub type vibe. It's casual but it's still a wedding reception. She's a friend of mine, I made her deluxe invitations and helped her make decisions on flowers and other details so I know she's adding a lot of charming touches to to make it less "lodge" and more fab. Anyway... I'm wearing this dress and these shoes but I need to decide on earrings and a ring. Please vote and help me choose!



bad picture of me so here are the original photos on the model. This dress:

this color:

shoes:


I've decided on earrings and a ring for accessories. Here are my options:

Rings:
#1 pearl cluster:
#2 sea urchin:

Earrings:
#1: Pearl and wood beads:
#2 This pair is sort of gigantic:
#3: Ivory clusters:
#4 My favorite pair I wear everywhere:


What do you think?

it's a gorgeous day for a fall wedding!  where is the reception? Traverse? Petoskey? Trying to think of inns on Lake Michigan...

CUTE dress.  Love the shoes too.  I vote for this combo:




However, I do love the little urchin ring...  I guess I'm kind of undecided... if you went with the urchin ring, I would wear the big beaded earrings -- I feel like the dress needs a statement piece like the earrings...

Hi D,

It's in Traverse City. The Inn at the Bowery, I think. I've never been there but I'm looking forward. Legend says it's haunted! Neat tie-in to Halloween.

Thank you for your suggestion. That was the combo my husband chose too :)

I vote for this combo too:

I know they aren't getting married on Halloween, but I think, as crazy as it sounds, its a great day to be married/have a reception.  My great-grandparents (who are still alive and married) are celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary today.  So congrats to the happy couple!  They will always have a reason to celebrate today. =)

I really like the second combo that D picked out- the sea urchin ring and the big earrings. That dress is gorgeous!

Thanks for your input. I'm packing tonight and I feel like I've at least narrowed it down!

I went with #1 and #1. Thank you for your input it helped tremendously when I was frantically packing on Friday night.

The wedding was really neat. The Inn has a legend that it's haunted. It's on a little narrow penninsula in northern Michigan and at night it's dark. I mean really, REALLY dark. No lights except the stars. At one point in the evening (after joking about the ghost all night) my chair started gently shaking. I thought my son was behind me with his hand on the back of the chair but when I turned around, no one was there. Then it happened again. And again. Everyone at the table laughed it off as we were drinking wine... but it was a little creepy!

cc the giant flower earrings are from Anthro (maybe last year?). I have yet to wear them :(

Yes, several times.  It's funny, that's what I pictured when you originally said you were going to an inn on Lake Michigan.  I like going to the wineries in the fall and stopping there at the end of the winery tour for dinner either in the main restaurant or pub.  It's a beautiful spot for a wedding!  I had no idea it was haunted -- I'll have to keep that in mind the next time I go smile Was there any fall color left?
