Wedding in a few weeks time, I have this Phase Eight dress and these sandals. Please can someone help me to 'pull it together' with bag, fascinator (wasn't going to bother but bride would like hats etc), jewellery.
Thanks!

If going for a red lip, a closely matching beautiful red finger-nail would be gorgeous :)

How about something like this? Would be great with a red lip as previously suggested

Tired that's cute
I'm worried about a red lip as haven't worn a red lip for years. Some look awful on me, think I need a really bluey red as anything orange toned doesn't suit.

A trip to the beauty counters for a new lip colour? Some brands do different shades for different skin tones. Doesn't have to be red if you're not keen - just something you love. (I find red difficult too)

Lightinthebox has lots of inexpensive hats.

But I think that blue jewelled headband would be perfect.

I agree with @DoubleTweenQueen about the overall look. Less is definitely more

I think that dress will not look as good with any sort of head gear. The peacock things are far too Art Deco and don’t make the most of the dress.

Too many accessories or jewellery won’t work and a scarf would ruin the statement shape of the dress

With a long bob I’d keep it down and have a top notch wash and blow dry

makeup focusing on either a bold lipstick to suit your skin tone or emphasis on the eye

If you don't want to wear a fascinator - although I think they are lovely, maybe try a hair piece - also I disagree with what was said regarding the accessories - dress is lovely as are shoes but you either need some nice gold dress earrings or a necklace to set it off / statement bag

Good luck shopping isn't much fun at the mo xx
