Help me style this dress, please....

Hermes

Pretty dress. I would wear my hair up and keep the earrings simple. I would also go with some skin-toned heels and perhaps a cuff bracelet.

I'm liking the idea of skin-tone suede pumps to not compete with the dress and to juxtapose the shiney sequins.

I love the dress! I agree that nude-ish heel would look nice. I think a cuff or stack of bracelets and some great earrings would be idea. Maybe a clutch in the steely gray color...

A metallic sandal that is strappy yet simple might also do well (but with fine straps)

Boots · Gucci

Pretty dress! It's really perfect for a Fall wedding.

I really like the idea of the suede pumps and simple jewelry.

Here are some other options for the shoes.

I especially like the jewelry you picked, Boots.

Hmmm. I hadn't thought of a suede pump. I am liking this idea.
I am horrible with styling my own hair! Updos intimidate me. Maybe a messy bun so there is a little room for error?

Boots · Gucci

I think that since the dress is busy, you can get away with a less done hair style. Maybe put it up in a bun and let some pieces frame your face? I don't know what you hair is like, but I can also see wavy, almost beachy hair looking good with this.

I think the messy bun is perfect. I think you could roll your hair on a fat curling iron first, to give it lots of lift and some texture around the front, then put it up in messy bun. Love that dress.

Agree with all above! Nude heel, maybe even patent to be dressier. The key to an updo is to do a full blowdry first. Use volumizer and a round brush. When you're done, pull it back and it looks so polished. You may want to use a ring like in this link

I like the nude heels, the jewelry you picked out and the idea of the messy bun. My only downside comment I have is: I have a pet peeve about light-colored suede shoes. They get trashed so fast!!! I would look for leather or patent, which are, granted, hard to find.
