A dress with its own accessories (or flair, or oomph, or whatever you want to call it) holds a lot of appeal for a girl like me who wants a gown that is really unique. That's why mine had a couple of big ol' flowers on one shoulder (see picture to the right).

However, when your dress comes with a focal point, sometimes it's difficult to figure out what kind of jewelry to wear with it. If your dress has a halter neckline, should you wear a necklace with a pendant that drops within the neckline? If the neckline has lots of embellishment already, should you avoid a necklace?

The answer depends, of course, on two things: the actual dress and how it fits you and your personal style. This slideshow from Brides.com might give you some good ideas, though. It gives advice on whether to wear a necklace or not, what kind you should wear, and appropriate earrings. Plus, the gowns they show are really pretty. Even if you don't need advice, you should check it out. Enjoy!
