Accessories and shoes- short dress (pic heavy)

Accessories and shoes- short dress (pic heavy) 1
Not a great pic, but I think this is my dress 🙂 Not strictly a bridal dress, it's a 'Sophie' dress from Collectif in ivory. There's a tulle type layer over a silky layer, and layers underneath the skirt.


I'm not sure what to do about all the rest though. I'm torn between keeping it quite simple with some nude shoes and simple silver jewellery. Or, am I missing a chance to show off some fancy shoes?!
We're keeping it fairly simple, registry office and reception at a local hotel. Not really working with a colour scheme, but I think blue, silver are my preferred colours. Will these look OK with ivory being slightly warmer than white?

I'll be wearing my shoulder length hair down and wavy/curled. I'm not sure a veil is for me, but maybe a headband or hair flower?
Any advice or opinions would be much appreciated 🙂 Thank you

    I have a short dress too and I’m going to bling it up with a belt and my shoes will have bling on them too. The dress is lace at the top and tulle skirt. I’m wearing a birdcage veil as we have a vintage theme. I think you need some interesting shoes personally as the dress is quite plain. The last pic of shoes is my favourite then you could try a belt to bring sparkle in. The headband on your pics would also match nicely.

    The blue shoes you've shared a picture of are gorgeous, and I think would look lovely with the dress - after all, you can keep it simple, but this is the one day you're encouraged to be fabulous, so why not go for it?

    A little decor in your hair would look lovely to finish things off, I'd maybe skip the veil with a short dress as it seems a bit at odds with the rest of the look - but definitely go for a nice necklace to emphasise the shoulder/collarbone area! Smiley smile

    Thank you. I think I do need some more exciting shoes. Maybe a belt too.

    If you want a veil, I think a birdcage one would go well with that dress, but I really prefer the headband idea. I think that would look great. Then you can add some glam with a necklace, belt and shoes. I think silver would work fine with ivory - my dress was ivory and I wore a silver bracelet and silver sandals. But if you're in doubt about your particular shade of ivory, then try stuff on together to see what it looks like.

    I have a tea length and the silver shoes with the bow, from Etsy! They are great to give a bit of bling and also match my other accessories. The blue are nice but if you go for that you need to have your other bits the same colour I think, or it may look a bit busy. I have a single tier short veil which just sets the look. Am sure whatever you decide it will look stunning but just try and keep to same colours to really make it pop x

    Love the blue shoes and headband with netted vail. You can keep it simple but the bride still needs to shine.
