Can't go wrong with a metallic shade, probably gold I'd say

Niftythrifter · 03/04/2023 18:34

I’d say if it’s a summer wedding then maybe a rafia/ straw handbag and wedges in either light gold, peach or neutral.

CharlotteStreetW1 · 03/04/2023 18:36

Oh that's gorgeous!

I also think gold. Will you be wearing anything on your head?

Yea I think I'm to have something on my head but not sure what, any ideas? X

Can you get the florist to make you a small corsarge to wear in your hair in colours that match the dress?

Definitely not a fascinator! Maybe a flower like the pp said.
Who is saying you need something on your head?

Yes, was going to suggest similar.

Or if you want flats OP, some gold gladiator sandals.

WhatFreshHeckle · 03/04/2023 20:04

No suggestions but coming on to say I love that dress and agree the above suggestions; especially love the idea of a flower for your hair to match the dress. Way nicer than a fascinator

Gold or nude heeled sandals with gold jewellery. I wouldn't wear a headpiece, if you fo have to then wear a headband or sweep one side of your back with a hair comb thing a bit like this one.

No to wedges, they look bloody awful.

(Although might not be suitable dependant on age)

Thank you everybody love the idea of flowers in my hair that is so much more me than a hat.

I'm thinking maybe gold sandals and bag. I'm not the most fashionable tbh so will ask step daughters advice too

Don't match your bag to your shoes, it's dated.
I'd go metallic shoes then basket type bag. I've got a nice dune one.

clpsmum · 03/04/2023 22:33

@bignope thank you so much o didn't realise this!! I definitely won't match now x

Lovely dress. I would wear a nice contrast colour prob a nice pair of bright aqua colour shoes, can't advise on heels as I always wear flats.
