XP Opinions please (dress... again)

The saga continues... lol I XPed this on attire and I'm thisclose to knowing what I want to do and wanted your opinions. Mostly about having an ivory hair flower (sans veil after ceremony), ivory flower shoe clips and the blue shoes... would it be weird with the pink flowers?



So I've been back and forth about the sash on my dress. I love everything about it except the big bow thing in the front. Here's some pictures:







I decided to take it off, then leave it, then take just the tails off, then remove it, then leave it... and round and round. I feel like I really don't like it, but if I remove it (or the tails), then there will be a big gap at my waist because it's a little more of a drop waist on me. I looked at the dress yesterday and the sash won't be removable, but the tails/bow will. I found this sash on etsy that I love:


And she's willing to send just the flowers if I want to have my seamstress remove the original bow and attach them in place. o you think it would look bad? Or have a giant blank space?

These are my earrings and bracelet (no necklace):





And my shoes:




I'm worried that the fact that my shoes are blue, the jewelry is kind of a bronze and the flowers are pink that it will look off. Should I keep the original? Get the pink flowers? Look for an ivory flowers to add? This has been driving me crazy for a couple of weeks now!

ETA:

If I should stick with an ivory flower because of my shoes, then I like these maybe:

  • Oh my goodness!  Here is what I would do:

    • Remove the giant horse bow/ribbon/tails thing and attach the adorable pink sash from etsy.
    • Keep your jewelry
    • Keep your adorable blue shoes (people won't see them much anyway)
    • Have your pink flowers
    • Stop stressing!
    You are going to look beautful and I think your current plan is great :)

    THIS THIS THIS!  I love the pink flower and since the flowers are similar in shape/style I don't think the color makes them not match.  Your shoes people won't even see and I think blue shoes are pretty frequent these days as the something blue so they are also fitting.  What about getting a matching pink flower for your hair since people will see the hair/sash more than the hair/shoes?  Just an idea if the same Etsy seller could make you a matching hair flower.

    <div>Thanks everyone!</div><div>
    </div><div>Sorry to stress! I just can't help it! I think it's the pressure of looking your "best" and having the pictures for years and years. I still look back at my prom pictures (hell, even my e-pics) and think of things that definitely could've been done better. I just don't want to do these and then start regretting. I know I'd feel a million times better about it all if I could just show FI and get his opinion but... *sigh* I think that's the worst part. lol I get his opinion about <em>everything</em> (that matters) and having to figure it out myself leaves me with nagging doubts. =P</div><div>
    </div><div>Oh, she does have super cute matching hair flowers that I may look into getting... =)</div>
  • I totally agree with SCogs18 about everything.  Loving the etsy sash so much more than the original!

    So In Love
