      I believe the necklace style you are looking for is a lariat style. Here is one that you might like. I highly recommend this website. I ordered my jewelry from her for my wedding and I was very happy with it. You can customize almost all of the pieces on the site, so if you don't see something that you really like it's worth your time to send her an email. She was very helpful and willing to accommodate me - hopefully you will have good luck with her as well:

    I've made a few dresses before so I know the basics and everything, but I can't work out how to make a dress like this: http://www.weddingdressgallery.net/tag/grecian-wedding-dress-guru/page/2/

    Obviously I don't want it so wedding-y so I'll adapt it a bit, but how do you make those sides bits in particular? Anyone got any links for a pattern or something?

    • ANSWER:
      Some similar ones:
      http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1238-products-14149.php?page_id=861 <-this has the correct drape on the sides. It shouldn't take much to lengthen it and use a different pattern to restyle the top.

      http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1032-products-7886.php?page_id=186 <- Similar top

      http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v1030-products-7884.php?page_id=186 <-Similar top and probably the easiest to adapt

    What is a good bouquet for a grecian style wedding dress?

    • ANSWER:
      The national flower of Greece is the Olive (according to Wikipedia). I've never seen an olive tree in blossom: but that's no reason to dismiss the Olive Blossom as a possibilty.

  23. QUESTION:
    Earthy Meets Grecian/Roman Wedding Ideas?
    I am getting married in May and we have decided on a Earthy hippie meets Mount Olympus elegance theme wedding. Neither of us is Greek, we are both just huge history buffs and love the culture and mythology. So I'm not necessarily looking for cultural wedding customs, more along the lines of ideas for center pieces, common colors and patterns, bridesmaid dresses, anything to get my wheels turning! I do already have a few things in mind, but any help would really be appreciated, there is still so much to do!

    • ANSWER:
      I don't know about "earthy" but this dress is very Grecian. I tried it on last week and I felt like a goddess!

      http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridal_gowns_detail.jsp?stid=3744&prodgroup=245

      Also, my mom is going to wear this dress, and it has a bit of Grecian flair to it too.

      http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_detail.jsp?stid=4069&prodgroup=110

      This one has that same one-shoulder style too. And it has a little more of a natural elegance than the last one -- which it sounds like you might prefer, since you're going for the earthier look.

      http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_detail.jsp?stid=3735&prodgroup=110

      As for colors, I'd go with deep blue and ivory/champagne for a Grecian theme -- maybe with some highlights of purple and green. If you wanted to highlight the "earthy" side of the wedding more, perhaps you could make the main colors a rustic green and ivory/champagne or even a deeper neutral like chocolate brown.

      For centerpieces, I would recommend pretty painted pottery vases overflowing with ivy and a few flowers. This might be really expensive, though, as pottery isn't cheap....but you might be able to rent them from somewhere. If it's too expensive to get traditional pottery, it might be neat to get more "modern" vases in just a frosted blue. It would still echo the Grecian theme, but would be easier to find and less expensive.

      Sounds gorgeous! Good luck!

I saw it a couple of summers ago and I was like, "This is the dress I want to get married in." It's awesome- ankle-length, off-white, kind...

    • ANSWER:
      No. 1 is the most grecian. I love it. Hint to you..he's not supposed to see the dress before the wedding to don't bookmark these sites. Instead look for engagement rings you like and bookmark THOSE pages. :)

  28. QUESTION:
    Can I wear a chiffon maxi dress to a family wedding?
    I have a skin condition (psoriasis), which is really bad at the moment. Do you think it's ok to wear a pretty floaty maxi dress to a wedding?

    It's a pale green with beading on the chest, it's quite Grecian looking. It's a summer wedding, so hopefully it will be ok?

    What do you think? I can post a picture if required

    • ANSWER:
      I think it will be fine, it sounds similar to something I saw a woman wearing at a wedding I was at. Maybe a little jacket would be good to have if it is revealing, or the event is formal.

  29. QUESTION:
    Some questions about the wedding dress?
    It's going to be an early summer wedding, outside and near a lake. My waist is 26 inches, bra size is a 34B, and I've got some hip to me. I'm thinking of wearing a grecian-draped dress that reaches the floor but has no train and flat shoes (as I'm 5'11). But then I'm also thinking about a more theatrical-looking, intricate gown. Either way I'm wearing flowers in my hair in place of a veil or tiara.

    So as far as the dress goes---

    Given my body type, does it matter what shape my dress is? If so, what do you think would work best for me?

    Should I do it all white with colored accents, have the first layer of fabric white with a colored layer draped over it, stick with a white dress, or do it completely in color?

    Furthermore, if I am to do a color, should I do an emerald green or a pastel purple?

    I know this is a lot of questions... thanks in advance. :-)
    Also-- I have a very pale complexion and naturally dark hair/eyes.

    do you think this dress is okay for a wedding?!?
    http://www.lipsy.co.uk/store/party-dresses/jewel-waist-grecian-dress/product-is-DR03338_011 do you think this dress is okay for a wedding??

    • ANSWER:
      If it's a very traditional wedding and you would want to wear that to church it's probably not the best choice.
      But it just depends on what the wedding is going to be like and what the bride and groom are like. To some weddings this might be ok to wear.

    • ANSWER:
      Your gown choices are all beautiful, but one and two make my heart sing. Lovely taste!

      Twinkle lights aren't bad, but are a bit passe, real event lighting will work much better for your theme. If you have a really good DJ with lots of equipment, they can often handle this for you. Some intelligent uplights and gobos will be much better than twinkle lights. Try to hold this in a dramatic venue, even a planetarium if you can.

      Look at lighted centerpieces too, like cylinder vases filled with LEDs, they are amazing in low-light conditions.

  39. QUESTION:
    What colors could I use for an evening wedding?
    I really would like to have an evening wedding, probably in late may or early June...the ceremony is in a huge Grecian-style, pre-civil war baptist church and the reception will be held at an antebellum style estate. I would like to know what colors are okay for evening ceremonies, for the bridesmaids, flowers, etcetera. I really want tiger lilies, which are a beautiful orange color, but I don't want orange bridesmaids dresses. Could I use a smoky gray, or ivory? I really would like to stay away from black.
    oh, and it is going to be in Charleston, SC

    • ANSWER:
      Hello HB,

      This sounds like it is going to be a beautiful event - congratulations!

      Given that you have chosen a warm colored flower, I would stick with warm hued colors in your attire and decoration choices. This will work very well for you in the summer since so many beautiful flowers in warm colors will be readily available!

      Smoky gray is a cool tone. When presented next to your orange flowers, the gray will mute the sunny joyfulness that the lilies present. Your ivory choice would be much better. I think you could take the color a little further by choosing bridesmaid dresses with a hint of warm color in them - peach, warm pink, etc., This way they will still be wearing light dresses, but they will clearly be different from your dress. You are the star, after all!

      Best wishes for a wonderful wedding and a happy marriage,
      Wendy

      i think the third one is gorgeous, but the first one definitely reminds me of Greece. the second one is oddly like the third, so i'd take that off your choices and choose from 1 and 3, and from there, whichever makes you feel beautiful when you put it on even if your hair is in a ponytail and your not wearing makeup. also keep comfort in mind. good luck :)

    What do you think of this dress for a Greek wedding?
    I am getting married in Corfu, Greece soon and don't want to spend a fortune on a wedding dress as it will essentially be a beach wedding so I am looking for something cool and comfortable. I just happened to be browsing the internet when I came across this dress which I think is very Grecian and elegant looking. My question is is it too laid back/cheap to get married in?

    Thank you very much for your opinions. I have ordered the dress to see what it is like on. I am pretty much set on an Amanda Wakeley gown but the normal wedding dresses are in excess of £2000 so that is why I was thinking of just getting a budget version by the same designer considering it will be a low-key wedding abroad. I thought the Grecian style of it was perfect for Corfu also! So it looks like if I don't like this dress then I will be forking out at least £2000 unless I have a sudden change of heart...

    Thanks again you lovely helpful people! x
