Grin I tried on a dress recently and have decided on it as my wedding dress - see photos. The wedding is as the end of May.
PLEASE IGNORE THE SHOES I'M WEARING! They were the only things I had to hand 🙈
I would love help with flower, colours, shoes, hair...all sorts. Please fire away!

Beautiful dress!

Something like these? Is the dress silver silver or warmer silver IYSWIM 😄

Have a look at Rachel Simpson shoes they are lovely vintage styles in various colours.

CassandrasCastle · 31/01/2022 20:54

It looks like s different hue of silver in different lights, it really does! A warm and cool dress is confusing.

How about these shoes? camillaelphick.com/collections/all/products/alicia-pearl-embellished-buckle-glitter-point-toe-flats
Super adorable dress!

christmascrazylady · 31/01/2022 20:55

The shoes are to chunky. Heels with smaller straps and sliver diamonds would be better

Ohyesiam · 31/01/2022 20:58

Oh you look GORGEOUS! Fab figure too.

saygeronimo · 31/01/2022 20:58

I wore something v similar to this in my wedding day as I wanted silver heels that were comfy and I could dance in. Proper dance shoes seemed like the obvious choice!

That dress is GORGEOUS! You look amazing.

Agree some (new!) converse for the evening is a great shout.

Do you mind saying where it's from? In PM if not on the thread - don't worry if not though obviously!

dreamersdown · 31/01/2022 21:01

Yes, these would be amazing

Cleopatra2022 · 31/01/2022 21:01

It’s gorgeous. I’d go for a less chunky shoe personally as I think it draws the attention too much to your feet and makes the dress look too short.
I think it would look great with converse though if you have that kind of style ( I’d look terrible because I’m not cool)

elaeocarpus · 31/01/2022 21:02

How about an art deco style hair do with soft waves with a birdcage style veil and head piece

Beautiful dress!

When is the wedding OP?

A foliage bouquet would look lovely with your red hair. Perhaps with copper or silver hints in it?

You look stunning in that - what a wonderful dress. I have zero style so wont' make suggestions but it's made my day seeing someone happy!

MrBoldwood · 31/01/2022 21:03

binbaglady the shoes you’ve linked are the actual shoes I wore for my wedding in 2014. They are gorgeous and I’ve worn them on a few occasions since.
I agree they would go very well with OP’s dress!

Hotmess1 · 31/01/2022 21:03

AMAAAAAZING dress!! Is it vampires wife? You look incredible!

IvorCutler · 31/01/2022 21:03

Aw, you look absolutely gorgeous. Is it Vampires Wife? I actually love the converse with it too- and I’m not a converse fan!

trunumber · 31/01/2022 21:05

I agree proper dance shoes

I would go for vintage accessories -birdcage veil,

You look really really lovely in it.

Harp1977 · 31/01/2022 21:05

I bought salsa style dance shoes with a strap from JJhouse as my wedding shoes and they were the most comfortable shoes I ever wore. I bought my wedding dress there as well and had no issues. They do lovely styles and colours

CassandrasCastle · 31/01/2022 21:06

Yes, it's Vampire's Wife 😁

I love it too. Looks a bit like a Temperly London dress?

These shoes or something like these….

No good with accessories (although I would say silver 1920s shoes with a buckle would look nice. And perhaps what the Americans call a buttonhole: basically a tiny tiny bouquet tied around your wrist with ribbon, maybe with deep green foliage behind it, back by a circle of lace).

HOWEVER, I think you and the dress would benefit from a little tailoring.

You have a gorgeous figure and right now the dress looks like it’s swamping you just a little. It needs taking in around the arms and armholes; darts under the bust; nipped in half an inch at the waist. I can’t really see the neckline.

£70-80 of alterations would make this dress absolutely knockout.

Unsure33 · 31/01/2022 21:14

@CassandrasCastle

I love it with the converse too! But would also like some heels - I'm into the vintage and block heel idea; although I want to add a bit of height haha. I'm somehow drawn to pink as a flower colour/wedding colour, which is surprising as I'm a redhead who has never worn or particularly liked pink before...
I was going to say vintage type pink and cream flowers

I'm thinking silver shoes, low heels and emerald green accessories too. Go well with your red hair!
Lovely dress!
