What color and style shoes should I wear to an outside wedding with a white dress that has a black floral print? Shoes must be good to walk on the grass. And what about jewelry?  Carolyn V. is the best-dressed wedding guest in Baltimore MD.

The beautiful light, colorful terrain and awe-inspiring views make nature a picturesque backdrop for a wedding. As a guest, your wardrobe goal is to complement the event and location and it sounds like you have chosen the right dress and just need the perfect accessories to complete the look. So, what is the "look" you have in mind or a better question what characteristics do you to portray to others? Is it beautiful, classy, chic, sexy, etc? I chose accessories for you that compliments your dress, work for the location, and convey different characteristics that will help complete your ideal wedding guest look. XX, Kenny 

 

FEMININE

For a dynamic feminine look try accessorizing in primal colors and prints that are also functional.  These  Rose Flower Chunky Heel Solid Strap Buckle Pumps  will give you plenty of height, the wide heel will keep you from sinking into the grass and the floral applique keeps with the theme of your floral dress. Continue playing up your femininity by adding  a cocktail ring. Capture and keep everyones attention by picking vibrant stones that will sparkle in the sunlight I like this David Yurman Guilin Octagon Ring with Diamonds in 18K Gold. 

 

CLASSY

At any event, we should still feel like ourselves, and if that self is classy and chic, then accessories that have always portrayed those characteristics are your best bet. Class and comfort can be provided in a modern leather flat. Look for one with a sleek design and quality construction. I like this white and black pair by Shades of Prey, Milazzo. Frame your face with a pair of updated but always classic, pearls. I love this drop style for special nights they are small yet so stunning.  Tahitian Pearl and Diamond Earrings by Pearl Place.

 

FUN


You are going to this wedding to have a good time, let loose on the dance floor, and mingle with friends and of course, celebrate the bride and groom. Choose accessories that will show off the fun side of your personality. Try these White Leather & Cork Heeled Sandals Women Heels,Dune Gold Court Shoes. Match the gold hardware up to your wrist with a one of a kind bracelet or large cuff like this Michel Kors Black Agate Cuff. 

 

SEXY

It may be risque for a wedding guest to want to be sexy so using accessories to evoke this characteristic is safe way to still look appropriate. Draw interest up to your face and decollete with a long necklace like This Swarvski Necklace, Crystal Lariat.  To keep the sexy vibe from head to toe try a peep toe in suede and illusion mesh like this Chanel peep toe shoes.
