How would you style this dress for a wedding?

[LadyCrazyCatLady]

15yo DD has purchased this dress to wear to a wedding and she loves the fit of the dress, and it's the only one that we've tried that she likes, so it will be the one that she's wearing, but we need help with shoes/cardigan/jacket? etc.

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks

This dress - sorry, it would help if I posted the dress.

Can't load the pic, can you screenshot? Love urban outfitters , might even have it myself 🤣

How about a chocolate brown smart boxy cardigan, and brown ankle boots?
or brown closed toe low heels if it’s a smarter do

This cardigan might be good, bargain and she’ll probably get lots of wear out of it

Hopefully this uploads

What’s the venue? Registry office, church, pub, manor house, private members club. Is it a big wedding or small gathering. Is there an evening do? Will it be mostly indoors?

Lovely dress! For an autumn/ winter wedding id put it with a green velvet jacket and tall boots as in the pic, although maybe suede would feel more dressy than leather.

It’s gorgeous,has she a preference?
The Knee boots the model has on are fab, she could also do an ankle boots or high tops if that’s her thing.
Will she wear a cardigan?
Thinking of my niece (18) who likes this look and she would wear a small fitting biker style jacket.

Also, am so jealous of her. At 15 my mother dressed me in a twin set and pearls for a wedding!

She's unsure of anything beyond liking the dress, hence the post for ideas. She does look gorgeous in the dress (I may be biased).

It's an end of October wedding in a registry office and then a village hall with a meal and then a disco.

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

It's a beautiful dress. I'd be go for a velvet jacket and short leather boots - or maybe shoes, given the dancing.

Joe Browns have some nice velvet jackets that could be worn afterwards with jeanhttps://www.joebrowns.co.uk/loretta-crushed-velvet-jacket-wj764?colour=244s
Lots of other styles toohttps://www.joebrowns.co.uk/amber-moleskin-military-jacket-wj879?colour=784

In that case, I really wouldn’t worry about getting a smart jacket she’ll never wear again. She probably has something suitable for the bits outside (the commuting bit), in the register office it will be warm, the village hall will be relaxed and she’ll be dancing so don’t waste money on something that is traditionally wedding appropriate. Coat and cardigan/denim/leather jacket will be fine. Boots will be great for dancing and comfy.

Just edited to say, I don’t think someone of that age would really wear a velvet jacket (especially from Joe Browns - I’m much older and wouldn’t shop there, but that’s probably a sweeping generalisation!). If you really think you need something like that, get it for a few quid on Vinted.

I’d stick with urban outfitters or other shops she likes and get a jacket - maybe this? https://www.urbanoutfitters.com/en-gb/shop/uo-brody-faux-suede-asymmetric-jacket?color=220&type=REGULAR&viewcode=a2

And then these shoes: https://www.asos.com/prd/209634949?acquisitionsource=pasteboard

bearing in mind I’m styling for a teenager not myself! Ahem Joe Browns posters 😉

Edit to add: also like the boots in the model photo!

Green bag to bring out the colour in the dress could be nice https://www.asos.com/prd/211568232?acquisitionsource=pasteboard

If she wants to wear a cardigan she needs one that doesn't fasten or it will hide the dress, which is gorgeous. Is there any reason why she can't copy the styling in the sales photo.

I've never met any self respecting teenager that would contemplate Joe Browns tbh. Sorry but just no.

I agree with PP that she would be fine in a leather or denim jacket, as it's quite casual. Or maybe a cropped Teddy or faux fur jacket? I'd only contemplate something that she would wear again though, so hard to recommend without knowing her usual style.

This is cute - comes in beige or dark brown https://www2.hm.com/en_gb/productpage.1359480001.html

My 20y daughter would wear an oversized jacket with that.

This is perfect 🤩

I'm also saying this is perfect and will be worn again.Boots like the one styled in the UO photo (or my teens are both wearing ballet flats again - proper ballet shaped not the pointer version)

This might be fun - or buy a winter jacket she could wear again

I bought a velvet waistcoat from Joe Browns and was so disapointed with the quality, it felt like stiff cardboard and I sent it back. I do have a lovely purple crushed velvet from them with an amazing patterned silky lining.

Agree - it works with the dress & she might even wear the boots & cardigan again!
