| Dear Joel,
I think the size range you are interested in is preferable to what you are looking for. For the wedding and to wear for long after the wedding, 7 and 7.5mm size pearls are much for versatile and can be worn casual to formal. I think you will be okay with either quality. Both AA+ and AAA are very nice! Speaking from my own personal wedding experience, I would go with the average range pearls because they are simple and classic, not overbearing. A necklace like this makes a grand statement with a gorgeous dress. Akoya pearls would definitely be my preference over Freshwater pearls for the wedding, especially if you want to give her something extra special.
As for the bridesmaids, I think the Freshwater earrings are a great idea!
