suggestions to glam up my dress?

OOOO whats the venue! sorry to butt in!

I love your dress- it's the style i think id go for myself eventually! (budget permitted!)

Hi claire!

Thats why I loved the dress in the first place! Need to find a good seamstress, Im going to photoshop a strap onto the front

xx

Just had a look- its lovely!

i'd go for the strap- i think with the sweetheart neckline you don't need more bling- the style is pretty enough!

The 1st dress is much more flattering but I personally wouldn't add anything to it as I think it looks gorgeous as it is. ?

With a beaded strap maybe? I like it! Think it would be nice if I can match the strap with the beaded brooches on the dress

Ok honest opinion is leave the dress as is. If you feel the dress is too plain then have a fab piece of jewellery.

The strap just doesn't do it for me. The simplicity of the dress is what makes it so gorgeous.

I think you in the original dress is stunning.

I'm not overly struck with the strap or over blinginess of the neckline in the two ideas you've posted.

I think if you really had to add something then perhaps make more of the side corsage, possibly add more sparkle or a big flower and you could always get some swarovski crystals scattered around the neckline - this would look really nice, but keep them to the same size and colour, then down onto the dress (but not so much that it waterfalls down you).

As others have said possibly go for more sparkly/bigger jewellery and what about some crystals on your veil?

Thanks girls,

advice taken on board and I will try some jewellery and see how I feel.

Cannot believe how indecisive I feel about all of this! NOT MY STYLE AT ALL!

Some would say that my dress is plain too, here it is-

I got my dress maker to put some crystals around the bust which has really finished it off in my opinion, and gives it that extra wow factor! If you think your dress is too plain you could always take this option? Your dress is gorgeous though, and in my opinion will look very glam once you have your jewellery on etc!

Honestly? I agree with everything PG said, the simplicity of your dress is what makes it absolutely stunning, and nice jewellery will give you all the oomph you are looking for.

Hi lauralil

I tried that dress on on Sat it is alovely dress (to glam for me but lovely).

I think it is a stunning dress and agree with others the right jewellery is probably all you need for the extra oomph your looking for.

Alternatey why not chang the dangly beads on the neck line and the beaded detail on the dress (where it catches up the material. We had a look when I was trying it and the beaded motifs are just sewn on so would be easy to snip off and change for something else maybe some little flowers or something a bit more sparkley

Thanks again girls

moomin I love that dress! My bridesmaids are having that waterfall style skirt...its so pretty!

I'm thinking a few cystal rose montees sewn into the brooch details might be enough then?

And so the jewellery search begins! haha

drifter isn't it funny how you thought it was too glam and I think it not glam enough! haha

Yes you are right about the brooch details, they are just sewn on so quite easy to change

The only thought I had was that if you really had to add some sparkle somewhere on the dress, what about a wee line of diamontes down the asymetrical seam from your waist to where the brooch is?

I actually think it's lovely the way it is ?

What about something like these (if not to heavu) instead of the cream ones on the dress

Tyen a beautiful sparkling necklace to pick out the sparkles on the dress

I agree that the strap looks a bit wrong. I think it's the sweetheart neckline. It needs to be straight across to work.

Here's an idea for a real statement necklace. I agree with whoever said that might work.

Or maybe something like this?

Thanks for the suggestions girls.

I do think a chunky necklace would work, but on a smaller scale aliLindsey. That is a BIG statement necklace isn't it! haha

drifter thats gorgeous but slightly too vintage for me. I've attached a pic of the brooch detail, though you've already seen it. it looks like there are a few places I could drop in a few clear crystal rose montees to give it a bit more depth and sparkle.
