I'm going to a summer wedding in two weeks and just hit the jackpot by finding a dress I like, in my size IN THE SALE. Please help me accessorize it to make it look weddingy as I'm thinking it could be too casual if I'm not careful about accessories! Hope that makes sense!

Here it is

That's lovely, and what a bargain
It's quite a busy pattern so don't go overboard.

Maybe pick out one colour, like the turqoise/blue. Then buy pretty shoes and a bag in that colour.

Thank you! Yes I was thinking a simple wrap/shawl and wedge heels maybe. Do you think navy is too dull?

That is a bargain, I'd wear it with navy for work so would be tempted to go turquoise to make it more 'celebratory'

I would find some shoes that are the same colour as the brighter blue colour in the dress to make it stand out a bit more, and a bag to match. I think navy would be too plain personally.
Then maybe just a small clip/accessory for your hair. Something that contrasts with your hair colour.

I wouldn't bother with a shawl if the wedding is in 2 weeks and it's in the UK- it will still be warm and at most weddings you are only outside for 2 hours or so.

Have fun shopping!
