DP and I are getting married in August. Pretty casual affair as it the second marriage for the both of us. We'll be getting married in a south London registry office, followed by a Reception in a live local gastro pub.

I'm in need of help with accessorising my dress. Needs to be v reasonable in terms of price! I don't generally wear jewellery day to day so I'm struggling. I like Art Deco style stuff - and prefer understated and subtle where possible! Please help!

Here are a couple of ideas, still from John Lewis

or an Art Deco pendant

I see what you're all saying about the neckline! How about this?

I'm not sure I would wear a necklace at all with a dress with that neckline, I feel like the wrap around detail and low cut is a feature in itself and anything else added would be too fussy. A nice bracelet would be ok, and a pretty clutch. I would go with gold jewellery to match the shoes, and maybe match the clutch to some statement earrings? There are some great earrings on the Oliver Bonas website. Maybe match the colours to your bouquet or fiancés tie?

The dress looks like it has cool undertones which is why I think silver shoes/jewelry would look better but then your skin tone had warm undertones and I dont know what make up you are going with.

@64632K the dress's tones are actually much warmer in real life!

I think a necklace would add to the glamour of the dress, after all it's for a wedding not an interview!

Psychologika · 04/03/2019 16:28

And I should say thank you to everyone for your kind comments. Made me all blush-y!

I have bought a necklace from here recently, they have some subtle and art deco type stuff...www.modernvintagestyle.co.uk

SavageBeauty73 · 05/03/2019 23:14

I love the necklace you posted. Gorgeous dress. You'll look amazing!

FrozenMargarita17 · 05/03/2019 23:24

Ah OP I'm not helpful with your original request but I wanted to say you are beauuuutiful and that dress will suit you hugely!

Psychologika · 06/03/2019 18:03

Thank you all, once again. I'm really taken aback by your comments! I'm going to save this thread to look back on. I've always thought that I was plain, bordering on unattractive (DP thinks I'm beautiful, but he's DP 😂).

I've always had low self esteem, so, thank you 😊

Woah! I am stunned at the idea that you would have ever thought you were plain or unattractive!

Oh you are beautiful! That hair, those eyes, your smile, your skin! I hope you'll always remember now how lovely you are in the eyes of others

PlasticPatty · 06/03/2019 23:15

You are beautiful and so is your dress. Have a wonderful day.

Nala8 · 06/03/2019 23:20

Wow. You are beautiful. The dress will look stunning against your colouring. Good luck for your big day Thanks

There is a company called crown and glory they are on Instagram and have a website they sell lovey veils and accessories. And are a little unusual and vintage so you might get something great there. If you want to wear flats or a kitten heel they also sell shoe clips so you could dress up something basic. The dress is gorgeous by the way.
