Shoes/accessory suggestions for this BM dress?

Chic · Marc Jacobs

Has the bride said anything about accessories? I ask b/c every wedding I have been in, either I was given jewelry to wear, or asked to wear pearls.

I forgot to mention that, thanks... The bride has small white flower clips for everyone's hair. They're really tiny and probably three of them will be clustered into each girl's updo. And other than a small BM bouquet, that's it. Shoes and jewelry are up to me. She didn't want a completely uniform look all the way down the line.

I think that is a great idea! I am glad when brides change things up a bit. I will search for you now!

Great! I appreciate you trying.

Here's a question... I started thinking I should take a wrap with me for afterwards, in case it gets chilly in the reception room. Matching black lace (like the overlay on the dress) would be too much, right? I'm thinking I'd like to do the fringed chiffon one below. Thoughts?

Chic · Marc Jacobs

That wrap is pretty, or maybe just a plain black cashmere/cashmere like one.

These babys are 21.90 at Zappos!

I love closed toes heels, but I would make sure that there are other people wearing closed toe, I don't want to make you stick out too much.

Y'think? I'm actually very happy to hear you say that. It crossed my mind earlier but for some reason I was afraid it wouldn't look "wedding" or "bridesmaid" enough.

Those drop earrings are cute! They're not one of my usual or preferred styles but I can definitely see them with dress and updo, etc.

Good point about not sticking out too much. I think I prefer the strappy heels anyway (good deal too!), but I'll see what the other girls are thinking. Thanks a bunch for the jump start, chic!

I really like the sandals that Chic posted, are they black or a dark pewter-y color? I'd prefer black with the dress and definitely silver jewelry, the first earrings are so cute and I love them with the black stone.

That's great that the bride is allowing some individualism in your attire, I hate when bridal parties look like clones.

Chic · Marc Jacobs

Ally S.- The shoes are black satin.

Graceful Stars- I am glad that I helped jump start some ideas, with the shoes, I just know one wedding I was in we all wore strappy and one girl wore closed toe and it really stuck out in pictures. I also would suggest that you really break in the shoes first, I had some shoes that I thought we be ok for a wedding, but I was amazed at how long I really was standing in them, getting ready, pics and then when the actual wedding came my feet were killing me and I thought I was going to fall over and the ceremony was only 20 min. long...just a word to the wise. Have fun!
