Help me style a wedding guest dress!

[Thesadmilkman]

Please.

After deciding not to bother buying a new dress for my cousin's wedding, I caved. However, it's a kind of grey green and I have no idea what to wear with it. I like contrasting, bright colours, but hsve no idea. Jacket wise, i have white, black, navy and erm, beige. Have a green leather one...

A deep purple or fuchsia pink might look quite cool!

What about a coral?

I think fushia would look nice too. Maybe a pretty cardigan rather than a jacket if you don’t want to add to the expense and you’re more likely to rewear a cardigan in fushia than a jacket. Hard to pick a jacket colour from your existing collection as may depend on style. Not beige though.

I wondered about coral. Got a coral bag but has gold accents. It's end of July, but that doesn't always spell warm.

Bolero or proper cardi? Got sparkly grey sandals - might be able to see in pics.

Where’s it from? You look lovely.

I’d go with a proper cardigan but mainly because I think boleros look daft.

A shawl? The blue on this is slightly brighter than on the pic.

Asos tall. Had to search!Thanks. I'm too old to feel like a princess, so I'm going fairy godmother.

I’d go for a proper cardigan rather than a bolero. Two options: a close fitting snuggly one, or a boxy cropped one.

It'll have to end above the waist cos of the fluffy bit. My jackets were clutching at straws a little- they're work ones.

Deep turquoise would work wouldn't it? And i could keep the sparkly shoes.

I’d go proper cardigan too. I always think bolero are for winter weddings for bridesmaids or for day to day little girls. Deep tourquoise would look lovely. The shoes in the picture are nice too and if you’ve worn them before will save risk if blisters etc.

Trouble is, a cardi ending in the wrong place will spoil the look of the dress. Wish I had a crystal ball to see the weather on the day.

A fushia Pashmina would be good less mumsy than a cardi

I'd go for www.notonthehighstreet.com/myposhshop/product/silver-metallic-feather-cotton-scarf?istCompanyId=aa76f5e6-d733-4e56-8409-574cea196cc9&istItemId=-xqlaltrlqp&istBid=t&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIoumbjZim2gIVL7HtCh3GTw39EAQYASABEgIY4_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&dclid=CKSw7MGYptoCFUdxGwodPlsKQg... Others on ebay cheaper too plus can wear again casually...

I would go for something with a pattern or you risk looking a bit too much like a bridesmaid.

Yep, you'll do well to find a cardigan that stops in the correct place. If your green leather is a biker type it might work if it's short enough. It would take away the "pretty" from the dress if that's a look you like.

That’s a beautiful dress op, where’s it from?

It's lovely, but looks like a bridesmaid's dress.

I can't think any sort of jacket would go.

I agree - lovely but a bit bridesmaid.
