Suggestions for Wedding Dress accessories

So, I think i found 'the one' this weekend. Champagne coloured, silk Jacquard dress, wedding outside in May. I wonder if people could make some suggestions for shoe style/colour, and whilst here, maybe someone to help with the tummy and maybe something for the hair? I know, asking a lot lol. Deciding on the dress has worn me out and I have no brain power currently. 😀

I don't have any useful ideas, but wanted to say how stunning the dress is! The shape is gorgeous on you.

Gorgeous dress. Will it be that long on you or are you having it taken up a little? If the former, I’d just get whatever shoes you’ve been looking for an excuse to buy! 😂

Gorgeous dress. I wore a beaded alice band that matched the shade of my dress, so did my in law who actually wore a very similar style dress to this!

Thank you. Yes, I will be having the length altered.

Lovely dress.

For stomach support, I have this. To my surprise it doesn't roll down like other spanx/shaperwear things do!https://www.marksandspencer.com/firm-control-magicwear-waist-cincher/p/clp60498572?color=ROSEQUARTZ#intid=pid_pg1pip48g2r3c2

I also have similar, but with little shoulder straps. https://www.marksandspencer.com/sheer-striped-firm-control-non-padded-body/p/clp60285043?color=BLACK#intid=pid_pg1pip48g2r6c1 I think it had clips/studs at the crotch which were an absolute PITA to try to do up in the loo! Never again!

For shoes, I think if you went for white, it might make the dress look dirty in contrast. Maybe a statement colour, or there are companies than can dye shoes to match. Google says gold or rose gold, nude, silver or blue.

Hair- you could have fresh flowers to match your bouquet. Or some sort of clip

This dress is dying for a tidy little tiara. Might not be everyone's cup of tea but it'd be fabulous. At the very least dangly teardrop earrings. Then no necklace.

I would love a little tiara!

It's a gorgeous dress 🥰. I want it!

It doesn't 'need' anything in my opinion.

How will you be wearing your hair?
I think a small yet striking tiara may be in order!

Champagne coloured satin high heels.

Perfect!

Congratulations x

For the tummy I can recommend the ultimate shapewear bodysuit from slimline.co.uk

I am going to be wearing one under my dress for a wedding I am going to this weekend.

Your dress is lovely.

The dress is 👌

It's so beautiful and the fabric so striking that I don't think you want or need to go too heavy on accessories.

I think I'd go quite classic with some nice pearl earrings. Take a look at lilyandroo.com.

I don't think I'd detract from the neckline so wouldn't go for a necklace.

A gold shoe/sandal would look good.

As for the hair, again I think I'd keep it simple. Maybe have a wave put in your bob with one side swept behind your ear and fixed with a comb like this www.laceandfavour.com/wedding-hair-accessories/michaela-small-pearl-silver-hair-comb/
