    Gold. My missus has a dress like that and when she wears gold stuff with it, she looks like an egyptian princess. (in my eyes)

    I wear a lot of turquoise/teal and I'm usually boring and wear black with it. If I had more money I'd buy accessories the same colour, but I don't, and black is so handy!

    I think strappy sandal type shoes would be nice with it, and you know you'd wear them again over the summer!

    i'd go with silver sandals. they would brighten the dress up also means you can wear silver/white gold jewellery with it. it's a lovely dress by the way

    keep AWAy from white shoes...they are the tackiest looking things!!

    Id go with silver or maybe even gold (depending on the quality of the shoes of course)

    Ps: really pretty dress... where did you get it?

    It's a gorgeous dress. I also think white shoes and accessories would be tacky. Silver shoes and bag would be lovely with the green then you could go for a silvery/pale grey wrap or something glitzy in green that goes with the band of the dress maybe.

    I think gold strappy sandals definitely. There appears to be a yellow/gold in the waistband so I think it would look fab. Get a gold organza wrap so it'll be a bit seethrough and not a block of colour and if you could get a bag with the same type of material it would look much nicer than the solid gold colour bags. I got a lovely bag like that in Monsoon a few years ago and it wasn't that expensive.
    Definitely not white.

    Gorgeous dress.

    I'm with the other posters on the anti-white shoe thing; it wouldn't look good. White shoes are cute and ironic, but not really suitable for a wedding imo. Gold would look pretty cool, if you can get the accessories. Otherwise black would be playing it safe, but would still look good.

    Gold gold gold all the way, but be wary of the shade your choose. Try and go for a deeper, diesel colour gold as opposed to blingtastic, tacky mctastic blinging gold as it doesn't translate that well to strappy sandles. Gorgeous dress by the way, you will look lovely.

    PS, Where did you get the dress?

    Burberry? :D

    I was thinking white as well, but then, meh... maybe something more soft and earthy would work better.

    Gold.
    Jewellery, shoes and make-up...an eyeliner the same colour as your dress would look AMAZING. :)

    I had a similar coloured dress for a friend's debs and wore a black shawl thingy, black, diamante and white beaded bag and gold shoes. I've gotten so much use out of all the accessories. I wore a pearl necklace and pearl stud earrings. The colour of the dress isn't quite what it is in the pic, it's a little more greeny.

    River Island last autumn. They are pretty damn comfortable for the height as well. I have quite wide feet and didn't feel like my feet were squished all night.

    I was gonna suggest either silver or gold. I'd ask what colour your hair is as well plus complexion.

    I think silver is tacky tbh. Gold has a more modern feel to it as long as it's not too bright and cheap looking. Look for gold with texture to it as I think a solid block of shiny gold doesn't do anyone justice.
