Brother's wedding

Yddil

Hey guys, I need a bit of help, my bro is getting married next week, and I've got the dress sorted, thank God!

Its on: http://www.lipsy.co.uk/store/day-dresses/tipped-ruffle-shift-dress/product-is-DR02348_050

and the shoes are: http://www.schuh.co.uk/womens-stone-schuh-flora-ruffle-sandal/1125081170/ but in black.

Now I just need to sort out accessories, and since the front if it is quite ruffled, I thought I'd leave it quite simple, maybe a plain black clutch, and long earrings?

My main concern is however, a cardi/shawl/bellaro type thing... Like I said, lot of detail on the front, so I don't want anything very detailed, but unfortunately the wedding is in the south of Ireland, not the south of France, so I'll need something for those lovely outside windblown type photos!!!

Also, on hair, is it true that upstyles are quite dated now? My mum reckons is an old person thing to do! (I'm 24!)

Thanks for your help in advance!!!

With a dress (and shoes) like that, which are full of detail, I'd go for a simple updo. Sleek and smooth, with maybe a few framing tendrils.

I agree about the simple hairstyle, how about straightened hair, half up half down, with the bit up backcombed a little for some volume.. kinda like this: http://cdn.sheknows.com/celebsalon//2009/10/shakira-half-up-half-down-hairstyle-oct-09-613x1024.jpg

a black clutch would be lovely, and go for a black bolero-type thing i reckon, a shawl or cardigan would be too much material around the front... i'm not sure where to get this, debenhams usually have simple ones but i know i got a simple black bolero with 3/4 sleeves in new look a few months ago for really cheap.

fab dress btw!

How Strange

I agree, a sleek updo is all you need with a dress like that. It's quite fussy (but gorgeous!) with the ruffles so there's no need for accessories.

+1 on this, think the shape would be fab with dress. Def an up do, I love silver long earrings and a black clutch.

I think this for hair:

Something loose, curly, romantic be gorge with the femininity of the dress.

Enjoy!

Hi Yddil quick question,I've bin after that lipsy dress for ages now also for a wedding just think its gorgeous! Was wondering did u order it online or buy it here as there all sold out on the website for days now

Thats so much for all your help guys, wedding went down FANTASTIC!!! Really enjoyed it all!!

I actually got the dress in the Lipsy dress in the store in Dundrum, there were plenty there.
I'm in Galway, but I promise, its well worth the trip to Dundrum, its fab!!!
Good luck finding it!!! Only thing I would say about it is, its quite short, so lashing of tan, or tights if its not a summer wedding!!!
