Sorry the pic is huge! I plan on wearing this dress to a wedding this weekend & wanted to get some ideas for accessories & shoes. All i can think of is earrings & a bracelet of some sort. Do you think a necklace would look to busy (not a necklace & earrings- but just a necklace & small studs)? Thoughts? Oh & do you think these shoes with the dress would look too....Dirty Dancing-ish? Like I'm in a dance competition?
Not at all! I like them both :) I would wear several thin gold bracelets and a ruby or wine color chandelier earrings. Also, I love wearing one big gold ring with them.

Exactly what I would have said :) Large, long earrings with some wine colored stones, and then some thin gold bangles. The dress is gorgeous!! And I think the shoes are great too, not sure how they would look with the dress.........Maybe if you incorporated some of that light pink into the jewelry??? Otherwise I like black or gold shoes.

I don't like the shoes with it though. I'd go for something strappy. Since it is a wedding, I'd keep to silver or gold, or black strappy shoes.
Personally I'd do silver jewelry since I don't like yellow metals, but if you do, you really can wear either metal with this dress. I agree with bracelet(s) and earrings; you could do hoop earrings, embellished hoops (with bead / stone dangles), or chandeliers. I like the idea of bangles, too. And a big ol' cocktail ring would be perfect.
I hope you post on TS when you have the whole package together. I can't wait to see the end result. I am a little in love with that dress!

Thanks for the responses! I need to go find something ASAP since the wedding is tomorrow. The shoes are more of a nude color, not the pink in this picture which is why I felt like a ballroom dancer. So gold strappy you think?
Gold or silver strappy, I think. Like Atlgirl said I think you could go either way. The dress is beautiful and SO my color. The shoes posted I am not crazy for. I think they're going a little too far to the trend side for the elegant old Hollywood vibe of the dress.
I definitely agree about no necklace so as not to distract from the detail on the bodice. But boldness in the bracelets would be great, as would a vintage clutch.
