Accessorize this dress!

[sunnyd]

Please help! I want to get my sister something for officiating our ceremony. This is her dress. She''s usually a boho/pretty goth combo, so I''m trying to find something she''ll actually like...it''s virtually impossible though, so I''ll accept whatever.

What do you think? She loves BIG jewelry. Chandelier earrings? Necklace? She''ll be removing the bolero after the ceremony, it''s spaghetti straps under there.

what are your wedding colors?

 

[sunnyd]

Red, brown and gold. I guess red would match, but I have a vision of black metal or something in my head...

 

[cocolaw]

these or something from this store!

 

[cocolaw]

oooh!!

 

[sunnyd]

Thanks for the suggestion coco, but those aren''t her style.

Thank you though!

Perhaps...it would have to be white metal though. And much cheaper!

Thanks for looking!

 

[sunnyd]

Something similar to these maybe?

 

[oddoneout]

Lovely dress. I like your idea of black metal. Could you just get some nice looking yet cheap black metal looking earrings and necklace?

 

[tina sparkle]

how about some big statement earrings in sterling silver?

Hmm... if she''s into that whole goth thing, and you don''t mind it for your wedding, then I''d suggest short black lace gloves with maybe some pearls sewn into them on the back of the hand, and those earrings you posted. I would also add some kind of short, extravagant hair piece in black/ gunmetal/ a coordinating color, even with a duster if you think she can pull it off without turning it into a grieving widow look. Definitely match the hairpiece with the materials used on the gloves. I''d skip a necklace with this look, since the neckline is already pretty busy with the bolero and straps. I think it''ll look fantastic. Love the dress and the bolero, btw!
