A strapless gown has not only become the go-to silhouette for the red carpet, it is also one of the top choices for brides. I like the glamorous style because it is an amazing backdrop for jewelry. This pretty pearl, gold and diamond necklace would fill in the bare real estate of the décolletage to perfection. And the added bonus is memories of your big day will be attached to the necklace every time you wear it. Now that is what I call living happily ever after.
