Suggestions for accessorising navy dress for wedding

[littlecupcake]

I bought this dress for an evening wedding reception www.houseoffraser.co.uk/Linea+Ruched+waist+wrap+dress/163546896,default,pd.html and it fits like a dream.

I'm thinking about accessorising with silver - shoes, bag, pashmina, sparkly necklace etc. but I'm not very good at accessorising and I'm sure you can come up with something much more creative (and with more of a wow factor)!

I'm 34, of slim build so nothing too chunky/clumpy please, and ideally trying to make good use of space in my wardrobe so I'm looking for things I could wear other than for weddings.

I bought these shoes but they're really hard and not very comfortable (the thinking being that I can wear them all through the year for other occasions, even if it's wet). I love strappy sandals but then I'm limited to nice weather... But what if it rains?! Ideally looking for a mid heel height.

Most important - budget! Approx £30.

Thanks ladies!

I think silver with that dress will be very ageing. How about snakeskin shoes, and a bright coloured clutch bag and beads? Maybe in mustard or bright pink.

I linked that dress on here littlecupcake it does fit like a dream, I agree! I am definitely going to clash mine with a bright orange / coral / yellow heels/clutch when I dress it up.. however, snakeskin would work too for a more neutral look.

I agree with plumsykes silver will be too boring and ageing..

love this coral clutch

with some bonkers crystal dress earrings..

Asos flower earrings

Thanks for your replies, been a busy day and I've only just had a chance to look at your links.

plumsykes I love the idea of bright pink accessories, and madamemecholet those shoes are gorgeous but a little over my budget. I think I will abandon my silvery, sparkly idea in favour of bright colours.

How about a dark grey pewter type colour

What do you think of:

or www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221041292371?hlp=false&var=520092648293

The dorothy perkin ones are called 'Pewter diamonte trim courts' I think the link is not working for me...

UML I'm loving the trim on the EBay shoes, definitely makes them look more 'dressy'. I originally wanted silver shoes and got some silver/grey ones that I linked to in my first post, but to be honest, they didn't do a lot for the dress - it all looked a bit drab.

A silvery grey pashmina also arrived today and having tried it against the dress it looks a bit bleurghhhhh.

MrsMicawber can I wear flats to a 'do'? I would love to wear pearls, but would they be old lady-ish with the dress?

Am so rubbish at this

I agree to what you think of the original shoes, they were a much lighter silver though, I think the darker grey looks better....

Alternatively, you could go with some navy suede peep toes/courts, and glitz up the outfit with a statement necklace and clutch...

I will watch this thread with interest and see what others suggest! (links please ladies!)

Magenta. Or pink

I'm wearing a navy dress to an evening wedding reception next week too - although not as lovely as yours :)
I have patent navy slingbacks and a patent navy clutch and have jazzed it up with a statement silver necklace (Wallis sale - cant find it online) and this belt
