Accessories for a green dress

6 replies

Yorkshireteaalwayswins · 27/05/2021 16:28

Hi everyone, please could you help me with a dress for a wedding I'm attending in August? It's emerald green, knee length and bias-cut with a slight cowl neck, from Billie and Blossom at Dorothy Perkins. Its lovely and fits well but I have no idea what colour to put with it!
I will need a jacket, shoes, bag and fascinator but I feel black will be too heavy and while neutral shoes and bag would be fine, what would I then do for a jacket? Please help!

Fuchsia pink or coral would look amazing with emerald green.

You could also do gold, rose-gold or silver.

Snakeskin or pony/zebra/cowprint shoes OR bag.

Could do cream or oyster coloured if you want something more muted.

Maybe pick one other bright jewel colour for all other accessories but please please please don't wear a fascinator- go for a hairband or hat instead.

The dress sounds lovey.

I like gold with emerald green. Such a nice combination.

Maybe nude shoes and gold accessories?

I don't like fascinators and they are definitely not a "need" to have for weddings any more. But obviously if you love them it's personal taste etc.

I think rose gold is lovely with emerald green.

The suggestions above are good, although just to add, bright blue works well with emerald green.

For headgear - hat or nowt. (Or maybe a pretty hair clip/headband.) Fascinators just look a bit dated.

Like others have said, I'd wear gold with it, maybe a nice bracelet and earrings. I love Billie and Blossom!
