Can you help me style this dress for a wedding?

I’m going to a wedding on Friday and want to look fabulous (I have another thread running about falling for my best friend and I’m going to the wedding with him )

I’ve ordered this dress - this colour of green is one I feel really confident in, and I like the kind of understated style. I’m blonde and fair and mid height.

I’m not sure what shoes to put with it and whether to wear a fitted blazer with it? I have fitted blazers in white, cream, sage green and black. Don’t think black would work at all.

Also colour of shoes/accessories?

It’s a bit of a summery dress I know and now I’m almost regretting the choice as I’m not sure I can pull it off for a February wedding!

HELP

That's lovely, what about white or silver? I think they'd go best with that colour

puds11 · 19/02/2020 05:41

Have you recently bought it? ASOS have a ‘complete the look’ bit under their items which recommends what to style it with. Maybe have a look at what they’ve put with it there?

I think a blazer and heels would look lovely! You have the right idea on colour combinations but I would avoid the white blazer. Would pink or blush be a colour you like or look good in as well? This could be complementary with the dress too.

dudsville · 19/02/2020 08:43

Well it IS a summer dress! It's very pretty as such, and it would look odd under a blazer. I know you don't have time probably but i'd be looking for something more seasonal.

Fx for you and your bf!

You could wear a short faux fur jacket over it. Will winter it up a bit.

Atalune · 19/02/2020 09:12

Fake fur little jacket in a sandy colourwould look great and even tan suede little booties

RainWoman19 · 19/02/2020 09:21

Id go for rose gold jewelley and a blush pink blazer. Clutch bag also maybe a sparkly or beaded one.

Ninkanink · 19/02/2020 09:25

Agree, if you can find a sandy faux fur jacket that would be perfect. Blush pink bag would be fab, and I would go for shoes in the same or similar colour as the jacket.

Ninkanink · 19/02/2020 09:25

Yes, rose gold jewellery would suit so well.

justaweeone · 19/02/2020 09:32

I'd wear something like this

I think a cream/ecru fitted blazer but it will have to be fitted and not too long.

GinandGingerBeer · 19/02/2020 12:03

I think I may have your other thread book marked
I agree re the faux fur, it's too summery for a blazer. A cropped Navy faux fur would work too. With navy or neutral boots or shoes.
You might be able to pick up a really cheap jacket this time of year, have a look at new look. They do some great faux furs under £30. I have one in bottle green. (Would also work)

StormDenise · 19/02/2020 12:14

I think a little navy faux fur jacket would look great. Definitely not a blazer- too summery.

Rosere · 19/02/2020 18:01

The faux fur looks like the job! I love the dress, I think with that jacket it will be very Spring wedding appropriate .

Also following your other thread and have my fingers crossed for you. Good luck.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/02/2020 18:12

It's such a pretty colour. Agree that a little sandy coloured fur or blush pink would be lovely. Not navy!

justaweeone · 19/02/2020 18:33

Can anyone link the other thread please
I love a romantic one!!

captainamericassexybeard · 19/02/2020 20:20

I would opt for a cropped jacket, blazers just don’t look great at weddings. And some very understaded court shoes. Pair with delicate but interesting accessories.

I like this and think it would go well with the dress.

Maybe this if you want something over your shoulders. I love the idea of a faux fur bolero/jacket though.

And I disagree with a PP, don't wear understated shoes! Wear sexy and sophisticated killer heels!
