Just bought my wedding dress, please help me style it

[QforCucumber]

Today I purchased the dress which made me feel like no dress ever has before.....but i dont know where to begin with styling it. Please throw at me your tips for shoes, jewellery and hair, I'm in a dress drunk haze.

Just as an aside, these aren’t my photos, i screenshotted them from google images, and don’t know to whom they belong.

Stunning dress on you. I'd take care not to detract from it with elaborate accessories

Have a lovely day

First thing you see is tits. I would focus on hair and flowers so you really see the whole dress and you.
It's a great dress - don't let it wear you though. Make sure your character shines through.

I agree no jewellery, except for 2 bits. Art Deco comb, and an Art Deco watch. It is useful to have a watch on the day, and there are gorgeous Art Deco styles around. They double as bracelets.

Congrats!

Agree with everyone (almost) that you should keep everything else simple.

Pearl drop earrings and a sparkly something in your hair sounds nice.

The dress is really lovely.

I'd go for a birdcage veil so it doesn't hide any detail in the dress.

Thank you all soooo much! These suggestions are amazing, I'm literally writing them all down as they come.

I'm actually booked in to remove the tattoo as I hate it so should be gone by February.

There will be no bra don't worry, but the dress needs taking in a size and up quite a chunk so had to wear to try on as otherwise I was saggy (Thanks breastfeeding)

It is so flattering, made me feel amazing, enhanced my figure in a way I never thought just a dress could - I want to wear it and show it at its best!

Bearbehind that visible layer was just a fold in the underskirt, I took the photo before sorting it all out properly - got too excited!

Gorgeous! I got my hair accessory and jewellery in Debenhams, really good value compared to what other places cost.

I highly recommend Blossom and Bluebird on Etsy for veils. I had a single true chapel lengths one that was completely pain tulle -
I had a small wedding but a very beaded dress so didn’t want to cover it up. The owner will suggest what she thinks will go best with your dress and will send you fabric and colour samples.

Nothing useful to add, but it looks beautiful on you! Gorgeous choice 😊

I second what someone has said about Debenhams for the hairpieces/side tiaras. Have a look at their Jenny Packham ones for some really nice Art Deco pieces- they aren’t badly priced either.
I was the same as you, had a lovely amount of detail on the back of my dress so wore my hair up in a loose/ messy bun and then we added some flowers from my bouquet into it. Wasn’t necessarily planning the flowers but they looked so good on the day!

I wore belly button covering nude pants on my wedding day - practicilaity before sexiness! DH was not impressed but he was asleep within about 2 minutes of returning to our hotel despite not even being drunk. He’s having his first experience of a giant Irish wedding next year, not sure how he’ll cope!

Stunning! Speaks for its self it doesn't need much at all! Hair up and some small earrings is all I would wear :)

Gorgeous dress, congrats op.
here’s some styling ideas

Because the bodice so ornate definitely keep accessories simple so as not to distract from the detail of the dress. Pearl earrings and maybe a silver chain? Good luck, you will make a beautiful bride.

Hair styled to the side and an Art Deco hair comb.

I agree...with a gorgeous pair of Jimmy Choos

Lovely dress. There’s a lot of detail in the bodice and back so, I’d say hair up, simple earrings/veil if you’re having one. Beaded tiara. Anything more would detract from the dress.

Gorgeous dress

As others have said, hair up, some lovely Art Deco drop earrings and either an Art Deco watch or wide bracelet, and bin the black bra

Don’t forget these

oh thebluedog they're just beautiful!

I looked at some Champagne coloured glitter Jimmy Choos today too, how exciting
