Accessories to go with wedding dress

geminichic07

I bought my dress from David's, but it will be altered to have some sort of sleeve attached. Now it's time to look for accessories. Problem is I've got a tiny budget. I would consider a belt if I could find something really pretty in a plus size. Does anyone have any ideas for inexpensive accessories to go with the dress attached?

Honestly?  The way the ruching is around the waistline, I wouldn't go for a belt.  There's no clear line of demarcation between the bodice and the skirt where a belt would enhance the dress; if you add a belt, you'll just be taking away from the natural flow of a gorgeous dress.

I'd focus on my veil and jewellery.  The dress is beautiful as it is, and will be lovely with the sleeves you're adding.

Thank you ladies. Perusing the links now. I agree about the belt, but I'm not particularly fashion inclined so another opinion is good for me.

Charming Charlie's has great stuff and is very reasonably priced. Also search Etsy and see what you can find, I found my bracelet and matching earrings on there for $35 and also got a hair comb for $20 and I love them!

I think a veil with some bling on it and then a nice bracelet, earrings and hairpiece would work.  I second Charming Charlie's and actually would recommend Icing. I got my jewelry and hair piece from those two places and spent probably $50 total.

As for a belt: I went to a specialty fabric store and bought wedding bling on a strip for 60 bucks. It goes from seam to seam and I sewed it on ribbon. I attached a hook but you could just tie a bow!!! It can be the size you want!

Look for a fabric store that sells a lot of lace and other wedding dress material, they might have a little case of trim that you can use. 

60 bucks was for an expensive bling, as well. Some of them were only 20 bucks per yard and had lovely peals and stones sewn on. Make sure you measure your waist before going in, you don't want a whole yard.
