It's very me and the bride will not mind I'm wearing leopard print if relevant!

Wedding in a castle so I definitely need tights to keep warm! Wedding end october. So with that in mind what kind of shoes with tights? No skinny heels as floors uneven... Accessories? Jewellery? How should I do my hair? Help!

The dress is quite... Statement so I would be going minimal on jewellery. One simple gold necklace or pair of earrings, no more. Basically the dress is doing a lot of talking, so I would endeavour to keep hair and other accessories low-key, otherwise literally everything about your outfit will be yelling "look at meeeeeee!"

Some kind of black sock boot/ankle boot would seem appropriate. I'd go for a lowish heel, or if you need to go any higher, a block one.

Black suede shoe boot. Minimal gold jewellery. Bold lips.

Yes it is a bit statement!

Would black shoe boots be ok with black opaque tights?

Depends on the design. As long as they're closed toe, I think they'd be fine. Even if they're open toe, I don't think many people will be looking at your feet.

I hope they'll be looking at bride but if they notice my dress I hope they see the fabulous sleeves as well as the generous pockets!

Think I should go for something flowery and modest with a fascinator? Grin

I would just go for a classic black heel.
Jewellery, gold. Keep it simple.
Fascinator, nothing ott but something little

Black opaque tights and black ankle boots.
Plain gold jewellery.
Hair up in a nice neat high ponytail.
That's a beautiful dress!

I don't have a fascinator but I do have a hair comb thing with a big fluffy bit of black marabou on it I could shove in a pony/bun though I do worry about how fat my face/neck looks with my hair up
