Wedding at the end of the month. Have gone for this dress but need shoes and a bag to wear with it. Have found a fascinator but any suggestions on these too would be so appreciated.

I’m worried others might have the same dress!!

Would really appreciate some advice!

I hate being too tall so would rather a lower heel

I’d go for a gold sandal, like the pic, but with a low-ish block heel. I’d pair them with a gold bag and a cream or beige fascinator.

If you want to be different, try a light mintgreen&gold large clutch, wide light mint green headband (not fascinator) and flat gold mesh shoes.

I envy you your height. I've always wanted to be 6 ft tall, wearing a beehive, and in heels!

Thank you ladies. Any links to some ideas would be so helpful - I’m clueless

I like orange with bright pink, these ASOS ones are lovely for a wedding

Would really appreciate some advice!

Has it been featured on any TV programmes, or in newspaper fashion articles? Or on SM? If so you could well see it on someone else if it’s a large event. Less likely at a smaller do - statistically.

For accessories - look to nature. That strong pink would be atop a purple-y green stalk and glossy green leaves. Flat dark green pointy Mary Janes, and a straw or embroidered bag incorporating both pink and green would be perfect.

I would go for something like this

Ditch the fascinator, the dress doesn’t need it (they rarely do), I think it would cheapen the look.

What bags do you have? I wouldn’t buy a new one just for a day. Lots of colours would work here (straw, red, orange, tan, different pink shade, green, etc).

kdramaqueen · 11/04/2025 08:40

I would personally go for emerald green or orange with that dress, as those colours suit my skin tone. And sky high stilettos!!

Gundogday · 11/04/2025 08:41

Fascinator aren’t as common as days gone by. I’d have it with me, in case everyone is wearing one, and then you can quickly put it on, but if not leave it in your car or handbag.

I’ve just googled ‘fuchsia pink dress’, and most of the images have gold shoes, some have silver.

Lovely dress, by the way.

Bailiwitch · 11/04/2025 08:43

What does Google know about style, though? 😄

Gundogday · 11/04/2025 08:43

Also, have you considered cobalt blue? (Or navy?)

Unless you want to wear sandals have a look at Gabor Jackie loafers. They come in cerise or emerald suede and silver leather with a crystal ‘buckle’ embellishment.

Wow! These comments are so helpful
I’m not thinking I need a bit of a heel - not sky high…..
I love the idea of the green head band but I have crap, super fine and flat hair…. Although have the hairdresser to help!

These with a small heel would be lovely

Sorry NOW thinking I DO need a heel

I wouldn't bother with the fascinator as that will add more height

Trumpsgoneloco · 11/04/2025 10:36

I think the metallic shoes is dated now & a strong colour looks more modern.

custardcreme · 11/04/2025 16:15

I agree too about dumping the fascinator. And get any colour bag that looks good against the dress - don’t match with the shoes

Powderblue1 · 11/04/2025 16:20

Is go for nude or all black accessories
