But these necklaces were a little too classic, a little too chic, and a little too, well, white. I knew I wanted a bit of color, so I went looking for another "something blue" to match my shoes. And what did I find?
It was almost perfect, but not quite. See, I couldn't get past the bronze, as I was sure it would look clunky with my tea-length, tulle-skirted dress. But there was one word in the product description--cameo--that really set me off. I absolutely love cameos, and after a few minutes of thinking and about two hours of searching, I had my solution: a three strand necklace with a blue cameo. Etsy to the rescue once again. I found a necklace with the perfect cameo and decided I would order it, dismantle it, and remake it into a necklace worthy of a bride.
If only things were that easy.
I got the necklace in the mail a few days later and had an incredibly rude awakening. The cameo was huge!
There was no way a cameo of that size would look delicate or bridal, so it was back to square one. The lesson here: get all the details from the seller before you order, otherwise you, too, will be the proud (?) owner of a piece of jewelry that will never, ever be worn and can't be returned.
Back to the drawing board I went, obsessed with this idea of a cameo necklace. And once I have an idea in my head, it's really hard for me to let it go...
Did you buy anything for your wedding that wasn't what you expected?
I'm sad to hear the cameo was too big! otherwise, it would've been so cute! i hope you can find one that ends up being the perfect one.
