As we are in the final countdown to the wedding, I have just two final questions. At your suggestion, I am having shoes dyed a darker olive green. They are a pointy toe d'orsay with a small rhinestone detail on the toe. The dress has just a bit of bead detail along the (V) neckline. The beads sparkle just a bit of iridescent pink and green.
The Dress
Now the questions; first jewelry. With the beading on the neckline, I don't think a necklace is right. I am planning to wear my mother's vintage watch, which has a very thin gold band, with small diamonds around the face and three larger diamonds clustered at the 12 and 6. What should I do about earrings? I have diamond earrings, but my daughter is wearing them. Also, what color purse should I carry (for the reception, not down the aisle!)?
As always, thank you so much for you help!
Halfpint
Consider a dark pink, mauve bag. Very smokin' with your color scheme. Another possibility is a small light rusty brown hard side croco minaudiere. I would keep it very small, for your proportions, and so as not to compete with the cloth of the big dress. Just something you hold in your hand. (At older DS's wedding, I had a cut velvet little pouch bag with a ribbon closure dangly handle, you know the type? I never picked it up once. I think I left it in the Bridal Room until the end. So for younger DS, I just brought my trusty black satin evening bag, and I also never picked it up once....)
You are correct about the necklace. I wore my Mom's bracelet watch, too. Same jewel trim as yours.
About the earrings, I don't think you need more diamonds, in your outfit, but if you think that you do, don't be afraid to replace your own with some cubic studs. No one will be able to tell for the occasion. Otherwise, I would stay in the same metallic family as the watch, and go for something polished, not dangling.
Let me know what earring choices you consider.
Here's what I meant by a minaudiere. It is very tiny, and it doesn't have to be croco, although that would be fabulous with your dress color.

(some of the shapes don't work for a wedding , of course, but they do have some beauties here.)
The outfit sounds smashing. You are a perfectionist, and it shows in everything that you do.
Congratulations!
