Wedding jewelry-take 2
I'd like your opinions on this - I'm thinking of giving (as bridesmaid's
gifts), matching earrings and necklaces for them to wear at the wedding.
However, I don't want to come off as a Bridezilla, ordering them to MATCH!!!
or else! I really don't care what they wear as jewelry, I just thought this
was a pretty good gift idea. They'd be simple, and probably in topaz or
something, orangey, whatever. Their dresses are "bone", kind of an
off-off-beige, so I could go with practically any color. I've been playing
with flower sites on the web, and orange-peach lilies go wonderfully with
the color (I have a pair of the shoes here, I have the feeling a shoe will
accompany me on many of my shopping expeditions for flowers, etc.....)
Anyway, what's your opinion? Would giving them matching jewelry be going
to far on the matching thing???
I have received jewelry at several weddings I have been in and have no
problem with it other than one--I have very sensitive ears and can only wear
stainless steel posts or hypoallergenic posts. If you know or suspect any
of your bridesmaids may have this problem (I have discovered it is more
common than you might think) you may want to make sure the posts are
something that will not cause irritation. Unfortunately neither the
rhinestones or pearls I have received in the past were and by the end of the
night my ears were red, swollen, and itching.
oh if you don't want to demand they match you might consider buying several
necklace/earring sets you like that match the dresses but don't match each
other and give each bridesmaid a different set .
