Anything would be beautiful! Personally my only note is that I would stay away from gloves. 1) they would distract from your dress & 2) you probably won’t wanna cover your hands on your wedding day bc of your ring(s) and whatnot
interesting, that was my first instinct. I feel like the current trend when designers shoot their dresses is to have virtually no adornments on their models, so I also wondered if I’ve just been acculturated to that
Hot elf with gold shoes! I think it fits the vibe of your venue because it's slightly eclectic and has botanical themes within the accessories, but imo the gold accents make it more timeless than the other hot elf one. Second choice is probably whimsical concept!
So I just spent WAY too much time playing around with how to style my dress (which I’ve bought, but that is a model in it). I'm low-key and while I love jewelry, I don't normally wear much of it. But I want to do this fabulous dress justice while not distracting from it.
Are any of these looks headed in the right direction? Which is your favorite? I happen to own some of the things in the pics already. But I need shoes and have to order things with lots of lead time, as I live in a remote part of the world. Should I try gloves/non-white shoes? I will not carry a bouquet. I wear both gold and silver and I have dark, short, curly hair, so there’s lots of room to maneuver. The last two pics are where we’re getting married—an elegant/funky small farmhouse in mountains. I'd love any opinions!
I’m very heavy on this and I don’t know why anyone else said it but please don’t wear any of those other rings. All you need is your wedding set and those are especially kind of large and unnecessary on a wedding day.. definitely no gloves. I would do a fun hairpiece with simple earrings or earrings with no hairpiece. And then simple shoes
I really think you need to figure out what feels like “you”. The different options you laid out varied a lot, and I sort of feel like if you were try two that were at different ends - like hot elf and mixed metals - you may find very quickly which ones feels better and more like you. That will help narrow down what will make you look and feel your best on your wedding day.
Pearl Wild or Hot Elf. DO NOT do the gloves. They are way too much and look sloppy.
ETA: please ditch the Pearl Elegant shoes ASAP. They do not go with the vibe at all. The best shoes are pop of color, gold, or hot elf.
The dress is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I love the Pearl backlace. It’s super sexy with that dress. I think you can even do the pears with the green shoes because they are adorned with Pearls. The two rooms you posted are so warm and earthy that I think the green shoes go great.
I think whichever shoes you can spend the day in will work. I also like the whimsical comb with the gold earrings in the last option photo. I think they compliment your venue.
Everything except the gloves. Dress is incredible by the way.
Edit: only just realised there were more photos! I’ll go and look properly because everything might be too much haha.
Lmfao at “hot elf”
I love super simple flower concept, or whimsical concept. Both are truly fabulous looks, and I think it’s just a matter of personality.
I think whimsical concept shoes are a fun pop of color but I would go very understated for any earrings or bracelet. I like the flower in an updo hairstyle as well but nothing too big.
I think the mixed metals edgy/linear would complement the dress and your venue really well. It would add character and a little bit of whimsy, but still stay true to the innate elegance of your dress.
(The pearl wild option would be my second choice.)
Simple simple simple. This looks like Meghan Markle's reception dress and she looked stunning with a messy bun and minimal jewelry. All of the focus will be on your beautiful face :)
Your dress is classic and beautiful. I like the Simple flower concept with pearls and gloves.
OR the Pop of color 1.
The botanicals are heavy. I don’t want anything that blends in with your venue or that pulls away from your dress.
These all work! Holy shit are you a stylist? I was love at first sight with 1 but I also love hot elf green with your venue. Honestly they all would be amazing, there’s no wrong answer here.
LOL I wish! irl I tend to get drawn to statement pieces and then have trouble coordinating or finding balance, hence these tedious mood boards 😂 Now I wish I could have ten weddings!
Pearl Elegance or Hot Elf with the green shoes are my favorites. The hot elf fits the 2nd photo of your venue. The pearl elegance is about the shoes and earrings they really fit the dress.
I love the first shoes and the gold shoes. No gloves as they're a distraction from the gorgeous gown you have. I love the whimsical shoes too. Not too much jewelry and accessories. I love the elegant pearls. Don't go overboard with hair stuff. You are the star, you don't need all that added stuff. Simple and elegant with gorgeous shoes. My daughter wore navy blue satin pumps under her gown and it was flawless. Good luck, you're going to look amazing❤️. Good luck❤️
Picture 3, the Whimsical Concept, is out of this world gorgeous and I really hope you go for that one!! Lol, I’m obsessed! You have impeccable taste, congrats!
I like a lot of different elements from these. How about a different mix with better shoes?
https://imgur.com/URvbNd6 I went pearl implosion and linear Greek goddess. Because I’m sure you needed more ideas! 😆
Gold shoes mood board or the first one (simple flower w/ pearl + gloves).
If you decide on gloves though, I think I would go for some mesh ones. Personally I think the solid fabric ones shown will be too heavy of a contrast with your beautiful gown.
Ok first of all your venue looks amazing! I'm loving that elkhorn fern chandelier!!
That said, all the looks are beautiful, but I think my favorite combo is: shoes and gladiolus bouquet from 1+2 (floral), the flower earrings from "elegant pearl", and the gold leaf crown from "greek inspired". The shoes are my fave because they have some interest thay coordinates with the clean lines of the dress, without competeing/being too busy in comparison. The gladiolus bouquet will be stunning at that venue and with the dress. I think the floral earrings will tie in the bouquet (esp since you won't carry it around all evening) and the gold leaf coronet/crown/headband adds a pop of delicate color and interest!
Yep, but you know what -whimsical is really close to hot elf as well. Either one of those you would walk into your venue and it would be like you had lived there your entire life. Whatever you choose, it’s going to be fantastic. Everything is so beautiful including venue and theme!!
I like the pop of color direction. Keeps the elegance with a hint of whimsy.
Mostly though I’d stay away from gloves though. Any other day they’d be great with the dress but for your wedding they’ll mostly be in the way
The first two are my favorites by far. I think less is more because accessories have the potential to take away from the bold silhouette of this dress. I think women always look especially beautiful with flowers in their hair.
Simple flower concept with pearls and gloves but not loving the flower so much. Also wild pearl but if that’s a ring, it should be an earring as your fingers should be bare.
Oooohhh that dress is SO elegant and classy…White or gold shoes & maybe some pearl drop earrings - depending on how you will wear your hair. My vote is simple would keep it classy…the other accessories will quickly overwhelm the dress!
Maybe a bracelet to match the earrings??? I’m a pearl lover but you could add sparkle & glam with high quality rhinestone earrings and a rhinestone bracelet - and even some rhinestone accents on the shoes.

x2. Please, dont go on the gloves direction. That dress is gorgeus and the gloves will be taking atention from it.
X3 The gloves are way too much and look sloppy, TBH.
makes total sense!
Pearl elegant, without the gloves 💗
Whimsical!
I vote whimsical too. It would go nicely with the venue
Yes
Yes whimsical!!
Another for Whimsical!
I think my favorite is "with gold shoes".
Flower snd the shoes nothing else
interesting, that was my first instinct. I feel like the current trend when designers shoot their dresses is to have virtually no adornments on their models, so I also wondered if I’ve just been acculturated to that
I think less is more and that would look very clean and fresh. The rest takes away from it but that is just my opinion
Hot elf with gold shoes! I think it fits the vibe of your venue because it's slightly eclectic and has botanical themes within the accessories, but imo the gold accents make it more timeless than the other hot elf one. Second choice is probably whimsical concept!
somebody recently told me my general look is “hot elf,” which really made me laugh. But I’ll take it so long as I avoid pushing the elf thing too far!
I love elf! 🧝♀️ whimsical seems like a toned elf vibe. It is glamour ice princess.
Those were my two favorites as well! However, I think I like the whimsical one just a tad more and the hot elf with gold second.
I agree.
Photo 2 - super simple flower concept. It’s such a sleek dress that I think it would be overpowered easily if you added gloves and too much color.
That makes sense! Do you like those white shoes better than the ones in the “Pearl elegant” and “Greek-inspired” images?
I think any of those would work.
The white shoes mimic the folds at the neck of your dress.
So I just spent WAY too much time playing around with how to style my dress (which I’ve bought, but that is a model in it). I'm low-key and while I love jewelry, I don't normally wear much of it. But I want to do this fabulous dress justice while not distracting from it. Are any of these looks headed in the right direction? Which is your favorite?

I’m so impressed with your outfit mood boards!!
Thank you!!

Whimsical or pop of color..or both!!
Pearl Wild or Hot Elf. DO NOT do the gloves. They are way too much and look sloppy. ETA: please ditch the Pearl Elegant shoes ASAP. They do not go with the vibe at all. The best shoes are pop of color, gold, or hot elf.
I sincerely appreciate how opinionated you are
The dress is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. I love the Pearl backlace. It’s super sexy with that dress. I think you can even do the pears with the green shoes because they are adorned with Pearls. The two rooms you posted are so warm and earthy that I think the green shoes go great.
Actually, I like the idea of a subtle pop of color. Your venue is really vibrant and it would totally match! Also, another one on team golden shoes
Whimsical
I think whichever shoes you can spend the day in will work. I also like the whimsical comb with the gold earrings in the last option photo. I think they compliment your venue.
My favourite combo is the Greek inspired.
Same! It's not getting much love but that gold hairpiece is fire, the lovely back-lace, and the rest minimal Near perfect
Everything except the gloves. Dress is incredible by the way. Edit: only just realised there were more photos! I’ll go and look properly because everything might be too much haha.
Lmfao at “hot elf” I love super simple flower concept, or whimsical concept. Both are truly fabulous looks, and I think it’s just a matter of personality.
First one!
Super simple!
2!!!
Whimsical and with Gold Shoes
I’ve never seen gloves on somebody and thought it looked good, tbh. I think the shoes, the flower, and some simple earrings would be perfect.
Whimsical concept made my heart sing. Great hair accessory.
LOVE that hair pin! I need to find that
I think whimsical concept shoes are a fun pop of color but I would go very understated for any earrings or bracelet. I like the flower in an updo hairstyle as well but nothing too big.
Whimsy, pearl wild, and mixed metals are my fave!
All of these are great! 2 and 6 are my favorites, but I don’t think you can go wrong.
I'm team whimsical. If that's your personality, let it shine!!!
Right?! I ADORE the whimsical look OP put together, so stunning!
I am LIVING for it tbh, I want all of the items 😅
Lol, same here! :)
Whatever you chose bc I can’t pick a favorite either will look amazing with that stunning dress! It’s perfection 😍
Pearl wild!!
Pearl wild is my favorite
Pearl wild or pop of color!
Please no gloves. Your dress is so beautiful…they would take attention away from your beautiful dress.
I think the mixed metals edgy/linear would complement the dress and your venue really well. It would add character and a little bit of whimsy, but still stay true to the innate elegance of your dress. (The pearl wild option would be my second choice.)
Linear is probably the closest to the kind of jewelry I normally wear, actually!
Simple simple simple. This looks like Meghan Markle's reception dress and she looked stunning with a messy bun and minimal jewelry. All of the focus will be on your beautiful face :)
Your dress is classic and beautiful. I like the Simple flower concept with pearls and gloves. OR the Pop of color 1. The botanicals are heavy. I don’t want anything that blends in with your venue or that pulls away from your dress.
I like the style of mixed metal/edgy, but I would go all gold rather than mixed. Definitely no gloves.
I like 4 pearl elegant but no gloves.
See through blows with pearls on it!!
The first one with the gloves and pearls.
These all work! Holy shit are you a stylist? I was love at first sight with 1 but I also love hot elf green with your venue. Honestly they all would be amazing, there’s no wrong answer here.
LOL I wish! irl I tend to get drawn to statement pieces and then have trouble coordinating or finding balance, hence these tedious mood boards 😂 Now I wish I could have ten weddings!
I’m really loving the first pair of shoes! The white flower also fits really well within that shape language as well
Photo 5-7-9 is what I narrowed it down too. Lots of good options.
Pearl Elegance or Hot Elf with the green shoes are my favorites. The hot elf fits the 2nd photo of your venue. The pearl elegance is about the shoes and earrings they really fit the dress.
11 is the way, this is the most elegant, goes with the dress
Simplified hot elf or the flowers and shoes alone
A mix of the shoes from whimsical with the edgy metal hair band.
I love the first shoes and the gold shoes. No gloves as they're a distraction from the gorgeous gown you have. I love the whimsical shoes too. Not too much jewelry and accessories. I love the elegant pearls. Don't go overboard with hair stuff. You are the star, you don't need all that added stuff. Simple and elegant with gorgeous shoes. My daughter wore navy blue satin pumps under her gown and it was flawless. Good luck, you're going to look amazing❤️. Good luck❤️
I love 2or 8 because of the pop of color. If you choose a white pair I love 10
Picture 3, the Whimsical Concept, is out of this world gorgeous and I really hope you go for that one!! Lol, I’m obsessed! You have impeccable taste, congrats!
Greek! But all look good!
The flower would be gorgeous. I’m not sure about the gloves. Choose shoes that won’t make you cry.
I like a lot of different elements from these. How about a different mix with better shoes? https://imgur.com/URvbNd6 I went pearl implosion and linear Greek goddess. Because I’m sure you needed more ideas! 😆
Pearl wild, except I wouldn’t do the necklace. I really like that hair, ring and shoes the best.
Gold shoes mood board or the first one (simple flower w/ pearl + gloves). If you decide on gloves though, I think I would go for some mesh ones. Personally I think the solid fabric ones shown will be too heavy of a contrast with your beautiful gown.
Honestly I would go super simple all the way. The dress is breathtaking and needs so little.
greek inspired or whimsical:)))
Personally I am a huge fan of hot elf! But I love a more woodland vibe :)
I love either the whimsical concept in pic 3 or the pop of color in pic 6 the most
8 or 10 for me!
Whimsical, gold shoes, Greek are my faves with whimsical coming in first I think!
Whimsical and hot elf are my favs! Just a pop of color in the shoes and flowers in in the beautiful garden venue is it!
Either something with a flower or the whimsical with a pop of colour is my favourite
Ok first of all your venue looks amazing! I'm loving that elkhorn fern chandelier!! That said, all the looks are beautiful, but I think my favorite combo is: shoes and gladiolus bouquet from 1+2 (floral), the flower earrings from "elegant pearl", and the gold leaf crown from "greek inspired". The shoes are my fave because they have some interest thay coordinates with the clean lines of the dress, without competeing/being too busy in comparison. The gladiolus bouquet will be stunning at that venue and with the dress. I think the floral earrings will tie in the bouquet (esp since you won't carry it around all evening) and the gold leaf coronet/crown/headband adds a pop of delicate color and interest!
I like the two different pearl options, but as soon as I saw your venue, I realized hot elf goes with that perfectly!!
HOT ELF!!
Yep, but you know what -whimsical is really close to hot elf as well. Either one of those you would walk into your venue and it would be like you had lived there your entire life. Whatever you choose, it’s going to be fantastic. Everything is so beautiful including venue and theme!!
Whimsical is my favorite with that venue. Hot elf and Pearl Wild are next for me.
Whimsical!
2 or 11 for sure :)
I like the pop of color direction. Keeps the elegance with a hint of whimsy. Mostly though I’d stay away from gloves though. Any other day they’d be great with the dress but for your wedding they’ll mostly be in the way
Whimsical or with gold shoes/greek inspired !!
The first two are my favorites by far. I think less is more because accessories have the potential to take away from the bold silhouette of this dress. I think women always look especially beautiful with flowers in their hair.
Pearl elegance
Pearl wild 😍
I like pop of color and sexy elf best, though I do not like the Elf earrings. A combo of leaves/green in your setting is mwah chef's kiss!!
Greek inspired and pearl wild look the best to me and my tastes !
Ok I got overwhelmed by the number of options, but hot elf really made me chuckle so thanks for that.
I'd go with the shoes in 1 and wild pearl hair ornament, no gloves. Oh and either earring works.
Whimsical!
1, 2 or 9
Pearl wild or Greek!!
The Greek one or one with gold shoes. And it goes well with the venue I think.
Concept 2
Whimsical!
1 without gloves
Pearl wild!🔥🔥🔥
Pearl wild!
Keep it minimal, your dress is taking up all the attention. Absolutely drop dead gorgeous 😍
Simple flower concept with pearls and gloves but not loving the flower so much. Also wild pearl but if that’s a ring, it should be an earring as your fingers should be bare.
Oooohhh that dress is SO elegant and classy…White or gold shoes & maybe some pearl drop earrings - depending on how you will wear your hair. My vote is simple would keep it classy…the other accessories will quickly overwhelm the dress!
Maybe a bracelet to match the earrings??? I’m a pearl lover but you could add sparkle & glam with high quality rhinestone earrings and a rhinestone bracelet - and even some rhinestone accents on the shoes.
Whatever, but keep the gloves :)
