I said yes! Now to accessorize...

Hi everyone!

I just got my dress and I'm absolutely in love with it! This is the dress-- https://www.theknot.com/fashion/shalise-maggie-sottero-wedding-dress

Now my question is, how should I accessorize? I'm not sure about a veil yet, but I'm thinking no to any sort of necklace. Should I do earrings? Bracelets?

TIA!! I'm so excited to actually start being able to participate here now that we're finally wedding planning. It's getting real!

Definitely no necklace.  With accessories I tend to take cues from the designer photographs.  So probably a nice bracelet (definitely not as many as that model has on) and depending on your hair style, either a pair of stud or drop earrings.

Thank you @Maggie0829! 

I was thinking for earrings something like this https://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/jewelry/earrings/PRDOVR~A2964/A2964.jsp ? or is that a little too much (I guess this also depends on my hair, which I have noo idea what I'm doing with that yet lol)

Wow, that dress is gorgeous!

With all that fine lacework and the delicate ribbon belt, I think the key is going to be not letting the accessories overwhelm the gown.  So nothing too big, chunky or angular.  I'd go with pearl earrings and a bangle bracelet.  The gown could also work with lace fingerless gloves, if that suits your style.

I think those earrings are gorgeous and could work with any hairstyle.

Beautiful dress! I agree with @Maggie0829, no necklace and the earrings are very nice ... maybe if the earrings have a bracelet that matches, or looks similar you could wear that as well. With this dress, less is more as far as accessories.

I'm with Maggie as well but be sure any bracelet you do buy, if any, aren't the catchy kind.  It looks like a lace overlay and the last thing you want is a bracelet catching on and ripping the lace!

I think those earrings with that dress are pretty perfect. I'd maybe add bracelets-- but not as many as the designer has. I guess it would also depend on your veil and bouquet. If you have a colorful bouquet and/or accented veil, I'd personally say maybe a bracelet or two on the right wrist.

Thanks everyone!!

That's such a good suggestion @kimmiinthemitten I didn't even think of the bracelet catching
