How would you style this wedding dress?

[CluelessBride]

Inspired by another poster who had some great advice, I thought I'd ask for some too! I don't have any bridesmaids or anything like that so no one to really ask for style advice.

I've chosen a very plain dress which is totally different to the very lacy, boho style I thought I'd like and now I'm confused.

Would you wear a sparkly belt with this dress to jazz it up a bit?

Flower crown or sparkly headband?

Veil or no veil?

Hair up or hair down?

Help!

Keep it very simple! Mine was similar. I had hair down, chandelier earrings, simple bracelet and that was it. It's already glamorous in the shape, keep it classy and simple.

I had a very very simple veil. No sparkles, no flowers!!!

Yes I agree... no belt or veil. Hair half up with tiara type headband. Beautiful.

Hair half up, with a flower crown. Keep it simple and elegant. No sparkles.

Beautiful dress! I think it still lends itself well to the boho style. I’d probably wear it with loosely curled hair worn down or swept to one side, a few flowers in your hair (but probably not a full flower crown as that can look OTT), flat shoes if you’re tall enough to make it work, and minimalistic jewellery.
I would definitely wear some sort of necklace just because the neckline is quite low so there is a lot of open space and it would give something to break that up (and this is what they always say on say yes to the dress 😂)

I’d do pretty much nothing, the dress is so beautiful and elegant that it doesn’t need fussing up with accessories

Ooohh brilliant advice, thank you! Thanks for your lovely comments on the dress - in truth I started to have a bit of a panic that it's not "bridal" enough although when I tried it on I felt amazing.

I've found a few hair bands that I thought might work. What do you all think?

I’m not keen on the first one op, as I think the dress isn’t boho enough for it

The third headband is beautiful!!

I would lean towards red carpet rather than boho. It's not a boho dress, it's retro glam. It doesn't need dressing up, or lots of flowers or sparkle adding, the beauty is in the stunning shape and simplicity.

Great advice, thank you. I think I'll go for the third headband then, no belt and possibly a very simple veil or no veil...will see what looks right at the fitting.

I agree about the headdress, the best one is the one with all the decoration lying in the same direction.

On line The Wedding Veil Shop have a wide range.
I think a short veil would look best, something like their "Dionne" two tier, elbow length, ribbon edged veil at £65. Very simple and so pretty.

Are you planning on carrying flowers?

Have you thought about wearing a necklace?

I'll carry flowers, yep, mainly so I'm not awkwardly faffing with my hands! I hadn't thought about a necklace but someone suggested it upthread. Wondering what sort would work

I'd keep your flowers simple, to match the simplicity and elegance of your dress. Not a large or trailing shape.

Possibly white calla lilies or orchids, not a large bouquet, probably seven or nine calla lilies, with some very restrained greenery.

I’d skip the necklace and have some simple drop earrings op. I know it’s tempting to fill the space around the neck and chest but I really think the neckline and dress is much more elegant kept uncluttered

I agree with @WhereDidIGoNext. I like the idea of drop earrings and your hair either down or very loosely up. A very simple bracelet and no necklace.
What kind of haIr do you have?

I find these hairstyles very pretty

I agree with the previous poster who said it's not a "flower crown"/boho style dress... definitely think "red carpet" or black tie in style.

Re bridal bouquet, I would keep it simple and elegant. A large bouquet would overpower the dress. I reckon a posy style (such as Kate Middletons bridal bouquet) or something longline/trailing would suit (I've attached a screenshot of a 'trailing' style from pinterest).

Am I allowed to name a supplier? bishboshbecca.co.uk on does lovely handmade crowns - quite boho.

Beautiful dress

I love these ideas! Those hairstyles are very pretty. I have quite fine hair and it's only about three inches past shoulder length so I was thinking of having sort of Hollywood volume waves. I love hair up styles but have always been told I don't look very good with mine up - bit of a chubby face

Where is the dress from?
