Colour Advice Please

JO Shoe

Hi everyone,

Can you please share some advice with me. I have bought this lovely dress for an important wedding in Ireland where I will meet my boyfriends family for the first time. I expect the wedding to be quite formal.

What colour shoes/ hat/ bag do you think I shold wear? There is just so much colour to choose from. ( I do not think the model's shoes suit well)
I have dark hair and fair skin.



Thank you all

gorge dress but way too short to meet boyfriends family

JO Shoe

Thanks Booboo88,
But it is not so short on me. Perhaps the model is very tall or I am small but it is to my knees.

ooh i see, im vertically challenged so i know the feeling.
i like the idea of a vibrant red clutch and shoes

Possibly that lilac/purple colour - there's enough of it to tie in - or a bronze metallic to kind of pick up the stems of the flowers. You'll need a strong coloured wrap, I assume from the back it's plain ivory?

Thanks everyone, especially theg81der.
I like the idea of coral or purple. Yes the back is plain. Would a head piece be too much as there is so much beading etc. on dress?

theg81der

Head pieces seem to be out this year.

Didn't know headpieces were out:(. Is it because of the '2 ugly sisters' at the royal wedding?

Thanks Lace,
These are amazing, but too pricey

I will try to find something similar, but cheaper in shops. If I go for coral shoes, do you think I would have to get coral wrap and bag and headpiece too or could I choose some other colour from the dress for these? Thanks
