I bought this dress for a wedding : MARIBELLA SILK FLORAL DRESS
I'm 5'3 so it's longer on me
Looks lovely just thinking needs a bit of styling iyswim.

I am wearing green satin pumps (same as ones in photo minus silver string). I also have plain champagne satin shoes I can wear but think these make it look nicer.

I think I'll wear some green gem and gold drop earrings...

Wondering if I should change the belt but no idea where to start. Any ideas?

Also bags? Raffia / gold chain - i saw one in Reiss.

I used to go to personal shoppers in days before children or have endless time to wonder through shops. Now 10 years on a next batch of wedding begins and I'm lost!!!

Your wearing a long white dress to a wedding.
I mean it’s gorgeous, and no it’s not bridal gown-ish, but the flowers are quite pale and it’s a lot of white.

It's a lovely dress ( £££ ) but I do think that people on here will say that it's too white for a wedding.

Don't change the belt and I wouldn't take a handbag with a gold chain. It's too much. Just a plain clutch as per the photo. To be honest, I know eff all about fashion so feel free to ignore me!

I agree with Sophia to stick with the white fabric belt otherwise it becomes too matchy matchy. The green shoes , and green/gold earrings sounds are lovely and lifts it out of the white look and gives it interest. A plain clutch.

I am petite like you so easily swamped. I say you have the perfect balanced look already. The outfit will be so pretty in photos.

Lovely dress, perfect for wedding guest and i like your choice of colour shoe, the green. Hand bag choice is tough. I don't like the colour used in the pic, and choising green would be awkward, what about blush?
