accessory question

Ok...to refresh you're memories, here is my dress Maggie Sottero Kendra

 

My FI and I are going to Vegas so I want to glam it up and go a little out of the box.  Our colors are deep red and black. I want a sash/belt on the dress just under the bust line and am debating on a black one. (my dress is alabastor in color). I'm wearing red shoes and here is my inspiration for my birdcage veil that I am attempting to make.  

 
My question is, do you think the black belt and black birdcage is too much?  I am also open to suggestion for belt ideas.

What a beautiful veil!  How about a sash like this:

www.etsy.com has some great ones!  I think black would be very pretty.  Maybe do red shoes?

I think the sash under the bust, provided it matched well with the veil would be the best way to go to cooridnate, otherwise each on indivdually might stand out too much.

I'm making my own birdcage, so I should be able to pull off my own belt right?  Has any one done that?

I agree the belt and hair piece should go together, but do they have to match??

No, and they shouldn't match just have a consistent flow.  And I say when choosing jewelry go for one bold piece, maybe a bracelet, since you're going to be in Vegas.  I think a bold bracelet will be a great piece since you're already having a flashy headpiece and a colored and/or flashy belt.

I don't think a belt/sash would go with that dress.    I would look into adding a black gemstone pin where the ruching comes together under your right hand.

Hi!
I’m a professional wedding stylist and I think this is a great concept.
I would do a beaded belt with dark silver tones; it will give you the dark feel without competing with the veil. A black belt will be too harsh for the rest of your accents.

Have fun in Vegas!
