karma: 1 |  Jewelry...is this ok??
I ended up with a palm tree theme (unknowingly!! - it just sort of happened that way!). So I have my toasting flutes & cake topper. I have palm tree labels for my sandalwood fan boxes & my invitations are palm tree. (see this forum for the links for some of these items... Is anyone going to Puerto Plata?)
Anyway...to the point (lol)
I am looking into getting palm tree jewellery...like what Kate Hudson wore on Fool's Gold (if anyone took their eyes off Matthew Mcconaughey for 2 secs!!) Here is the cheap-o version of it!! Lina's CZ California Palm Tree Necklace I'm thinking about going with the palm dangle earrings too What do you think it will look like with my dress?? Style 8439
Please be completely honest...I really appreciate honesty!!!
I hate making decisions!!
Thanks!!
Amanda

I think it is actually really cute!
It IS a palm tree, but it is kind of a classy palm tree... being that it is blinged out!
I'd go for it!

Very cute!
Im my opinion, I would go with one or the other... Palm Tree Earrings or Palm Tree Necklace; but not both.
The necklace you would have to watch the legnth to make sure it didn't dip too far down into the V of the dress or else you won't be able to see it.

I was thinking 16" (just around the collar bone) or maybe a little lower at 18"!
Yeah...I think you're right about both too!! Gee you're smart!! See...all I needed was someone to tell me what to do!!
I think I'm going to get my MOH the same pendant...what do you think??

I'd have to agree with sunset....one or the other. It's sounds like a good idea to "coordinate", but the look of matching earrings and necklace is a little avon-esque.
Maybe you can give your MOH a bracelet with the palm tree charm. That's what I'm doing. My bridesmaids picked different cuts from the Alfred Angelo jersey knit line. My MOH chose the the strappy halter that covers where a necklace would fall.
Congratulations and good luck!

And, thats up to you.... My opinion, I love the idea of my MOH and BM's keeping in theme with me jewelry wise but not having the same exact thing as I do. If you do the necklace, maybe buy MOH the earrings or vice versa.
And I also like SDNative's idea of the bracelet!
I am sure whatever you do it will look amazing!!!

LMFAO...avon-esque!!! I can totally see that now!! Thanks!
My MOH is wearing a strapless dress so she will need a necklace (which I am providing). This pendant does come in a slightly smaller size so maybe I'll get her that one. (I'm having a really hard time finding something I like for her...so I'm looking for the easy way out!!) lol

I love the necklace! I think it will be super cute. I also agree maybe some pretty earrings but not palm tree! I was going to wear earings but the day of the wedding my DH bought me a necklace that was sooo perfect. But I didn't have earrings that matched! lol Good luck and I can't wait to see it all together
