What colours and flowers to wear with silver wedding dress in May?

50 replies

CassandrasCastle · 11/01/2022 11:00

I think I have chosen a dress... but I do NOT want to wear big black chunky shoes on my wedding day, as in these photos, even though they look quite cool.

I am going being between dark green and royal-ish blue for shoes, hmm. But what about flowers?? And would a silver headpiece now look way over the top if already wearing a silver dress. Ugh my cluelessness. Please help!

Open toe but not delicate...

I still think silver shoes would look cool. These are quite eucalyptusy though: shoes

ESGdance · 18/01/2022 15:13

Definitely silver shoes - don’t detract from the main character - you in the dress.

What sort of redhead are you?
What colour eyes and skin tone?

My family are all red but some of us suit blues and some greens…..and that’s the colour I would put in your headdress to show off your hair - doesn’t have to be loads of colour could be like the star one you linked to with a few coloured jewels?

Flowers will be held for a short while and I think they should be warm and seasonal as going to foliagey could look at bit Christmas with the silver.

Lovely dress is that vampires wide? Also like the sparkly headers - makes me want to get married ha ha I would go pastels myself pale pink roses or the like

ESGdance · 18/01/2022 15:18

I like the elegant theatrical / bridal theme of the shoes @SilentBob posted - I think they would do justice right to the exquisiteness of the dress.

If you are going with the eucalyptus bouquet then perhaps think of shoes to match - this sort of colour

Green and silver together would like nice too

Or you could look for a shop near you that arranges custom dyed shoes to match your bouquet.

Is your dress this one the Cinderella or the Falconetti?

CassandrasCastle · 18/01/2022 19:36

It's Vampire's Wife, yes! The Falconetti. I think I might go silver shoe after all...those blue ones from etsy which @SilentBob posted are beautiful though.

Someone said about eucalyptus bouquet looking a bit Christmasy...hmm, I do get that 😬 And it will be late May, so I guess there will be lots of flower choice available. My Mum keeps going on about peony roses, which I do love, just don't like the look of them all in a bouquet 🙈 I'm more into the wildflower thing. Maybe a LITTLE bit of eucalyptus, plus some in hair.

@londonmummy1966 Thank you, I really like those 'eucalyptus' shoes! Just when I thought I'd decided on silver...

Sorry for my multiple replies - I wish I knew if I was warm or cool toned, it always baffles me...I THINK cool, but I suit green more than blue, and have greyish blueish eyes Confused

Old gimmer here who is approaching silver wedding, thinking what do people have a ceremony these days? Took me way to long to realise you meant you are going to get married in a dress that is silver rather than a dress for your silver wedding. The dress is stunning btw. Love the idea of silvery green eucalyptus and green shoes. I'll start my own thread when the time comes.

What colour are your veins on the inside of your wrist? If they look greenish you have warm skin tones and if they are blueish you have cool skin tones.
EdinaMonsoon · 18/01/2022 20:35

I wore a silver dress for my wedding day too OP. Love yours even more though! I had a very simple white Gerbera bouquet and silver shoes and I still look at the photos and think that combination has remained timeless & elegant all these years on (21 years this summer!).

CassandrasCastle · 18/01/2022 21:54

Veins looking purpley blue! Coooool

These are v pretty - lots of silver but the blush is quite neutral / nude / background so doesn’t restrict any colours for flowers or headdress - although matching pale peonies / with trialling eucalyptus would look gorgeous

Not white - flick to the blush version
CassandrasCastle · 20/01/2022 12:44

I would never have gone with blush pink, but these shoes are starting to persuade me..! (I'm very easily influenced 🙊)

[quote CassandrasCastle]@FluffMagnet Oh my goodness, you read my mind...I definitely love the eucalyptus idea.

I'm not into the pink idea alas, I have red hair and it doesn't really work on me[/quote]
If you have red hair go for greens and whites.

Thirtytimesround · 20/01/2022 13:31

Purple or bright blue would look great. But really any colour goes with silver 😀 pink for example would also look good.

What a lovely dress
