How to accessorise this dress?

Hi, I am looking for some advise on how to accessorise a teal dress? I have a couple of weddings coming up and I want to reuse this dress that I bought last year as it is a shame not to get some more wear out of it.

The wedding is in January, so will be wintery weather. The last time I wore just black shoes and bag which did not do anything for the dress, to be honest, but I didn't have much time to look for something else at the time.

What colour shoes / bag / wrap etc. would go with it? I was thinking maybe silver or purple

Nice dress... well if it was me wearing it i'd wear a pair of cream/silver/grey heels... maybe patent? the dress is fairly elaborate so i wouldnt wear a particularly statment wrap and then loadsa bangles... hope that helps good look wiv it :rolleyes:

I love it. Where did you get it?

I would wear either long eye rings or a bracelet. Not a necklace. Silver would be best (not gold).

I would look for a coat as you will be cold.

Definitely cream, especially for a winter wedding. Keep it quite simple though, don't go OTT with the accessories.

I absolutely love the dress, it's gorgeous!

I'd go with a shrug for the church, something like this, and then shoes like these (select beige patent from the dropdown list) except you could probably get even nicer ones. No necklace or chain, and either fabulous dangly cream earrings, or a cream headpiece/feathery yoke if you're into that kind of thing. Or if you could get cream and teal earrings or headpiece, even better.

There's enough detail in the dress that you really don't need much in the way of accessories.

red bag and red shoes

I agree red shoes would look great I have a dress similar colour wore red with them recently.I also think gold or silver would look good.

Thanks

I bought it in Coast last Christmas.

Well I have a few nice ideas there, thanks everyone. I'll probably search for shoes first and see what colour I can find in shoes I like!!

Go for gold accessories (shoes and a clutch)

. Teal and gold make the nicest combination. Keep the jewelry to a minimum, maybe some simple earrings because of the detailing around the neck line doesn't need anything more

Fab dress btw
