Help with styling a dress please!

litup

Hi,

I have my eye on the attached dress for a wedding. Obviously it is quite loud and unusual, and I'm struggling with how to style it. Any suggestions?!

I think navy shoes would be a bit boring and matchy matchy maybe? Also, I think I may be best not to wear a hat with all the shoulder ruffle going on.

Thanks for any input!

I would go for tan shoes
I'd probably go with a classic pointy tan leather stiletto (I like things simple!) but love these too:

It's probably going to be hard to get shoes that would match the exact colour, so it might be best to stick to a neutral colour, maybe brown? Maybe a strappy brown sandals?
Then for jewellery maybe some gold dangley earrings and some nice bangles on the arm/wrist with no ruffle and you could wear your hair up as well in a high pony or a bun.

I think a plain nude shoe and to make it really stand out and pop I think a turquoise earring either studs or ones with a slight drop would look amazing! No other accessorise just the earrings. Turquoise is everywhere right now and you're bound to find a nice drop earring on the high street I would certainty try accessorize. I think it would take the whole look to another level!
