What colour accessories for these dresses?

I'm going to a wedding soon and have bought these dresses online.

What colour shoes/bag/cover up will go with each?

m.johnlewis.com/jolie-moi-plunging-neck-pleated-dress/p3376547 (in green).

(burgandy).

I could just go with black (boring/too dark?).

To go the other extreme, I have got a pair of ivory shoes. Would I also need ivory bag and cover up?

I love the green dress. I can imagine it with gold strappy sandals. I don't think black would go well with that one but would be ok with the burgundy.

The green dress would also look good with a strong contrasting colour such as bright pink or royal blue. Depends on your colouring.

Green, Ivory shoes, ivory cover up and bright yellow bag.

Burgundy, ivory shoes, ivory cover up and hot pink bag.

They can take some pattern too imo

If for gold for the green dress. I was at a weeding last year and wore a similar dress, worked really well.

Ooooh my mum would say it's bad luck to wear green to a wedding! Gorgeous dress though, I like it in petrol blue unhelpful

Gold definitely with the green... Not sure about burgundy, I'd say jet black but it might give off a Victorian vibe. What are you planning on wearing on top?

I've bought a green dress for my brothers wedding and am wearing it with my old purple jacket and shoes.

BigFatBloomers · 07/03/2018 17:21

Sounds great, rizlett. Very stylish and suffragette Smile

I like the burgundy one. I’d wear bright pink accessories with it.

MairzyDoats · 07/03/2018 18:06

Ooh yeah, purple shoes with green dress could be fabulous!

brokenshoes · 07/03/2018 19:47

Ooh, lots of good ideas here. Love both dresses, but need to try on in front of full-length mirror to decide.

Didn't know about green being bad luck for a wedding. I couldn't decide which colour to order in that style, but chose green as I have green eyes, pale skin and dark hair.

I was going to find a shrug/bolero type cardigan to over the top. Need to watch the neckline though I think (tried a black bolero that I've already got, but seen better days and the neckline wasn't quite right).
