Help me style this dress for two weddings this year

I have just bought this dress to wear to two weddings (one in May and one in July) and it is just gorgeous. First time linking and on phone, so here goes:

DvF dress

I have a simple black satin clutch to go with it, but what shoes do you think I should wear?

Also need help with a necklace. The neckline of the dress is quite high though.

Hope you can help!

I don't think I'd wear a necklace but maybe some dangly earrings and a nice bracelet or cuff. What colour/length hair do you have?

My hair ends between my jaw and shoulders and is brown. I always think I struggle with dangly earrings with shorter hair so could definitely do with some help finding some.

Ok. I'd probably go for black strappy shoes or nude courts. I don't think you need to add much because the dress is a lovely shape and print. I think the blue will be lovely with brown hair.

Thanks Creamy. The dress is one of the loveliest things I have ever tried on! I like the idea of nude courts. Just need to think about earrings now. Can anyone help?

I agree with Creamy about the necklace. A necklace would be hidden by the print on the dress. I would go for black shoes as I'm not a fan of nude shoes, or how about silver like the model wearing the dress has on? It is a gorgeous dress and I bet you will look amazing at your weddings.

I also like the silver metallic ones the model has on.

I think for earrings it's best to go shopping and actually put them up to your ears to see what suits. I think a big bracelet or cuff would look nice. Perhaps if you have time ask at a beauty counter for some lipstick and nail varnish recommendations.
