I got my dress... not what I was expecting!!

MrsH86

I got engaged in December, and I am getting married in July. So I knew I had a short time frame to find a dress... luckily I found my dress this weekend off the rack! Brand new dress! TOTAL OPPOSITE of what I thought I wanted... but FI came with me (untraditional, I know, but he is my best friend and I trust his opinion) and we both loved it! But since it is not 'white' or 'ivory'... I need some advice on accessories, a veil, flowers, etc that will go with this amazing dress!! HELP! I am trying to find a matching veil too if anyone knows of any online anywhere! thanks ladies!!

I love it!  And Maggie dresses are really pretty.  I tried on a few and was convinced for awhile that I was going to be a Maggie bride.  Did you get the belt as shown in the photo?  If not, I'd do a simple beaded belt, simple jewelry (the dress is enough to speak for itself), birdcage veil (I think you can probably do this in white even), and white flowers.

Thank you!! The one I got came with the beading on it (no belt). So it is already blinged up a bit! But yes I couldnt turn away from the 'blush' color... really had no idea that I would love it. I thought my FI would find it to be ridiculous.. but he LOVED it..! I was shocked! But I love this dress. I was going to use sunflowers.. but now I feel like Pink and Yellow might be a little overwhelming.. so I am trying to start over with my color scheme, because I havent purchased anything else yet, so I can sort of 'start over' with my ideas..

Very pretty.....I picture pink, cream, and champagne/gold for a color scheme. I love the soft romance of those colors together.

I would stick with soft colors like ivory or champagne, as Addie suggested.  You could do ivory flowers (hydrangeas are a good choice) and even an ivory birdcage veil or facscinator.   I wouldn't do other bright colors unless it was a darker or jewel tone (maybe purple or plum), because as you mentioned, it may not "go" with the blush.

you could do yellow w it, but not an orangey yellow, maybe a soft yellow, or cream.

that dress is *jawdrop* gorgeous! and I love the fact that your FI went with and loved it too

MrsH86

I completely agree ladies!! Thank you for all the helpful hints! I am not usually a very fashionable person, so it is tough for me to figure all of this out. This dress is kinda bold, and I didnt want to 'overdo' anything... so I appreciate the help!

I have the same dress!!!! But in white with the white beaded waist. I can't wait for it to come in. I tried it on with 2 different veils one elbow length which was pretty but I wasn't that into, the 2nd being a floor length one but then that hid that amazing bottom. I think I am going for just a head piece like a bejeweled barrette that matches the jewles on the dress or a bird cage veil. Good taste girl!!

Beautiful dress!  I say go with peals I think they will compliment the dress prefectly.   Also iridescent crystals would be great since they have that hint of blush in them.  Congrats babe!

I saw this dress and went gaga over it the first time I saw it. Such a unique and beautiful piece! I wound recommend keeping things white or ivory along with the blush to really amp up the romantic vibe. 

As for a veil and such, that might be a little difficult. Matching shades of pink is always an issue.

thank you ladies! I totally agree with all of you! Blush, cream, white, ivory, champagne.. I am definitely feeling those colors! And now I am on the hunt for a bouquet idea... Also my daughter will be the flower girl and she wants to wear pink too... lol.... of course.. .so now I get to be surrounded by pink! I had no idea I would be a pink bride... haha! But here I am! So now I just get to pick out all the little details and I love y'alls advice!
