These don't go well together do they?

I've got this dress for a wedding (love it, very flattering and I feel lovely in it). I'd like a fascinator to go with it-not popular on MN I know but I really like them. I've seen this one for sale but should I stick with navy?

What other colours are you wearing? (Shoes and bag) Not because I think they should all match, but just to contextualise with the full outfit

NeverSayNeverAgainMaybe · 14/04/2022 17:32

I think the colour would be fine as long as it is echoed somewhere else - a think belt? Shoes? Necklace?

Personally I'd choose a slightly bigger fascinator to balance the fuller skirt of the dress.

Not a fan of fascinators, but if you want one think you could find a better one to wear with the dress.

Loopytiles · 14/04/2022 17:32

Eg a bigger, more modern one

What colour shoes are you wearing?

Forevergold2838 · 14/04/2022 17:34

Shoes are navy, I haven't bought a bag yet. I was thinking navy clutch and raspberry nails/lipstick. I've got plenty of time, I'll keep looking.

I think those colours go very well together. If you can match the raspberry colour with nails/lipstick etc I think you will look lovely!

I really like it but I would be interested to know what more modern headwear people would recommend. Those big Alice band type things?

JaneJeffer · 14/04/2022 17:48

I don't think everything has to match as long as the colours go together. €49 though Shock

Forevergold2838 · 14/04/2022 17:48

I like those velvet headbands but they don't suit me, I'm also very petite so a big fascinator would look a bit OTT I think.

JaneJeffer it's on vinted for £10. I got the dress for £3.50 and LK bennet navy courts for £20.

A gold clutch and I think it will then work.

Nnique · 14/04/2022 17:50

That pink colour is perfect to go with navy.

Forevergold2838 · 14/04/2022 17:50

I think I'll get it, I can always resell.

A gold clutch would be perfect to finish off the outfit. I wouldn’t go with a navy clutch as I’d want something to balance the pop of the pink fascinator.

DramaAlpaca · 14/04/2022 17:53

That pink is lovely with the navy. So you have navy shoes - I'd look for a bag in the same colour as the fascinator.

Forevergold2838 · 14/04/2022 17:53

NeverSayNeverAgainMaybe that's lovely, they just don't work with my hair though (fine shoulder length), makes it sit weird.

or this? go Big or go home!?

Forevergold2838 · 14/04/2022 17:58

That's really beautiful 😍

I think that raspberry colour would be perfect with navy blue dress and shoes.
You might be able to find a bangle the same raspberry colour to tie the whole look together, or as you say nail varnish is a good option.
