Help to accessorise this dress for a wedding

Hello all.

I've bought this dress for a wedding I'm attending in the spring, but I'm a bit stuck with how to accessorise it, especially shoes and handbag.

Thanks to arthritic feet, I have to wear flats and I'd be happy with either a clutch or smallish over the shoulder bag. Any advice on colours & styles would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

How about some jewelled sandals? The dress is lovely by the way Smile

How about these shoes? Other than that I'd recommend Toms flats but they may be a bit casual (super comfy tho!)

Jewellery wise I'd pair it with a silver bracelet and some big silver studs. The dress is beautiful and is the statement piece, so let it do the talking!

Thanks, ladies! Some great ideas there. I love the idea of sandals or slingbacks as they're quite dressy. I hadn't got as far as thinking about jewellery, but I agree that silver would work really well, plus my wedding & engagement rings are white gold.
@Lulabelle14, I've not been able to view the link as it takes me to your log in page. Is there any way round that?

I really appreciate everyone's advice; thank you so much. Can I also ask what you think about a white bag or a navy bag?

Thanks again!

I'd go for shoes in the same shade of green and a clutch bag in the same shade of blue or perhaps white depending on the bag.

I'd wear a small silver / white gold necklace too.

Oooh I'd defo go with a pair of bright shoes, cerise, orange or purple.
Simple jewellery because the dress has a lot going on.

Gorgeous dress OP - where's it from?

Think those blue and green Boden shoes are perfect with it.

Thanks for your help, everyone. I've got lots of ideas to start researching now, and the link worked great this time, @lulabelle14.

@DontCallMeCharlotte, the dress is from Bombshell London and it's in the sale just now.
