Justin Alexander 8632..

I'm asian, a bit on the heavier side, short, and I have dark hair..

I want to go with a vintage look..

So i'm not sure if I should go dramatic with my makeup? I don't want a birdcage veil so what size veil would go great with this dress? Jewelry? Is it okay to wear purple or silver shoes with this dress? HELP!! I'm really not super good with this stuff..

Oh and i'm getting married in a church if that matters

First, I absolutely adore your dress!

As for the veil I wouldn't go any longer then an elbow or shoulder length veil.  I would also keep the veil simple and light and go with a 1 tier veil so as to not weigh you down.  Of course you can always nix the veil and just get a great headpiece.

For makeup, not sure what all you are comfortable with, but I think a nice cat eye and a bold red lip would be great.

Jewelry, I am never a fan of necklaces with wedding dresses so I would skip a necklace and just wear a nice pair of stud earrings and a heavier/more pronounced bracelet.

Shoes.  I would wear a nice pair of cream/ivory peep toe pumps.  Of course a colored shoe would be nice if that is the look you are going for.

Beautiful dress! The model has on those cute, cute, cute short white gloves that I adore. She also has on pearls and you could wear pearl studs or studs with just one pearl drop. I'm not a big fan of veils, so you could just do the fascinator (large flowery feathery thing in her hair) with a short haircut or an updo.

That dress is so pretty! I literally just tried the exact same dress on today. It felt so... FUN on!

I think shoulder length veils look so cute with tea length dresses. I would pair this dress with a short strand of pearls, and some pearl earrings, but I think it could also look pretty if you skip the necklace and do sparkly statement earrings. I think like PP said a bold lip and a cat eye would look pretty.

I also love the way gloves would look with this dress, but I would go with a pair like this instead of the satiny ones the model is wearing:
