It's a nice dress, I'd probably prefer all blue but I think either would probably look good

MoltonSilver · 21/08/2019 22:55

I think I'd go for silver.

areukiddingme · 21/08/2019 22:58

No

Fingermoose · 21/08/2019 23:07

Lovely dress! I'd go for bright accessories rather than silver. Hot pink and yellow would both go with royal blue.

Confusedddd · 21/08/2019 23:09

Love it and the shoes etc sound good !

feelingverylazytoday · 21/08/2019 23:11

I'd wear black shoes and bag.

ViciousTrollop · 21/08/2019 23:11

Yellow shoes and hot pink fascinator 😲 Egads no. Sounds like a 1980"s dumpster fire.

Absolute no to all blue as well, far too matchy matchy and naff.

Metallic/Pewter shoes + really good blow dry (jewelled clip/slide or equivalent if adamant about hair accessory). Interesting/statement clutch bag.

See, I would go for the yellow shoes and pink fascinator. Much more exciting.

Gentlemanwiththistledownhair · 22/08/2019 07:13

Yellow shoes and pink fascinator here too. Although, personally I would just go with yellow shoes because I don't like fascinators.

Metallic shoes are fast becoming the new "nude court". Will go well enough with everything, but just a bit boring.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 22/08/2019 07:23

Sorry but yellow, pink and blue sounds awful. I like the sound of pewter shoes. Beaded bag might be nice.

Alwayscheerful · 22/08/2019 10:15

Silver Sandles would be fab but pewter even better.

Propertyofhood · 22/08/2019 10:20

Lovely dress!

I would go yellow shoes and no fascinator. Maybe metallic I guess. Definitely not all blue accessories.

Fabellini · 22/08/2019 10:21

I’d go for metallic sandals, silver, pewter, or gold - I think they’d all look good, and then a bright contrasting bag. Yellow, pink, emerald green.
Not a fan of fascinators at all, headbands are where it’s at just now!

How about

Or

Metallic is just too neutral for this event. It's quite informal (not big church wedding) so I want to wear something a bit more interesting than matching accessories.

I don't think the fascination does the dress justice, Sorry i think it's frumpy, is that even still a word? I don't know what to say about the peacock head piece, but I am bumping for you with attached photos.
I would wear the dress with a messy up do, what is your hair like op? It's a very pretty dress.

What would you wear with this for wedding?

Fascinator!

Propertyofhood · 22/08/2019 19:26

Yeah not the blue fascinator, I really dislike fascinators in general, I much prefer Alice band/hair crown type hair accessories.

I do like the peacock feather one though.

Thanks for the advice and posting the pictures, messy updos don't really suit me, I'm best with my hair down (thin, way brown hair past my shoulders - getting thinner at the crown and lies very flat hence the desire for a hat of some kind). Round face so headbands make me look like the moon.

I have plumped for this. Sorry I'd paste the photo in if I knew how!

The dress arrived today and looks really, really pretty on

Very pretty dress and think yellow shoes (that you've already got) would be excellent but with a yellow fascinator as well I think will be too matchy matchy. I think if you want the yellow fascinator you need to wear a more neutral coloured shoe, either metallic or blue. Or, since you've already got the yellow shoes wear a more neutral coloured fascinator (probably with a range of blues in it like the peacock headband).

Personally I think a range of blue accessories would look good but only if they are deliberately different enough blues, don't try and match everything.

Thanks, I have a range of metallic shoes I can try.

Interesting everyone is anti all-blue. I just wondered whether it was a thing now as so many celebs where all in one colour at the royal wedding. Clearly not

Lovely dress op.
I wore a similar one to a friend's wedding. I wore red heels and red clutch with discrete earrings and bracelet.

FenellaMaxwell · 23/08/2019 08:47

Honestly it looks like a child’s party dress a bit. Sorry!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 23/08/2019 10:08

Sorry but I really don't like that fascinator.

brassbrass · 23/08/2019 10:12

What are the yellow shoes like? The peacock fascinator and yellow shoes could work

brassbrass · 23/08/2019 10:13

I like outfits that pop but you can easily overdo it.
