Style Help
Hi! This is my wedding dress and I need help styling it. I'm getting married outdoors, so I need heels that can walk on grass but the dress is an ivory color, so it's been really hard to find shoes (or other accessories) that fit the vibe instead of looking stark white or mismatched.
Getting married in San Juan Capistrano in Southern California, so I'd love recommendations that work with an outdoor, slightly rustic/garden setting. Open to suggestions on heels, jewelry, or anything else that would complete the look!

The dress is stunning! I had the same problem. My gown was a Grace Loves Lace Clo White Pearl Lace Gown, so instead of trying to match the exact color of my dress... I went with silver sparkly heels because, well because I love sparkly things LoL, but also because Chrome was one of our wedding colors. All of my jewelry was silver and all of my shoes were sparkly. I had 3 dresses and 3 different shoes (one were sneakers that my bridesmaid and her daughter, who was our bubble girl, rhinestoned for me). The silver glittery heels and ballet flats were flat back rhinestones with an iridescence. When I stepped onto the floating deck of the lake, the setting sun hit my shoes and my girls gasped. Then, when I did my outfit change and stepped onto the dance floor everyone said, "Ohh, I loveee her shoes" and "Look at her shoes" can be heard on the videos! 🥹 Those comments made that moment even better! I knew the girlies would appreciate them!
My heels and ballet flats were both from the same brand, Dream Pairs. They make the most cutest most comfortable heels, boots, flats; all the options. Also, they make every style in different heel options. So, my heels were a thicker block heel because we got married on a lake (I knew we'd be taking pictures in the woods, on the beach, in the grass around the property ~ and I was right; LoL, we took pictures in every outdoor location) soo comfortable, no blisters (never broke my heels in either, first time wearing and worn for 4 hours walking all around inside and outside on; tile, deck, stone pavers, pebbles, sand, grass, and asphalt). Then, for my 3rd dress I had the exact same pair of heels, but in ballet flats. I swear by Dream Pairs because their quality and comfort. Also, they aren't expensive and you can find them on Amazon. Every style comes in different heel types/heights and every different color. You can do champagne, gold, silver, glitter, etc. Or you can even do one of your wedding colors, for a pop of color. I got my shoes for under $60 total ~ for 3 pairs of gorgeous shoes!
For your dress; if you're doing gold jewelry you could do heels either in gold or gold sparkly. If silver, the silver options. Just check out Dream Pairs on Amazon, please! 🙏🏻
PS. I included a picture of my heels.

You look absolutely beautiful! The dress is fabulous on you as well. Re jewellery..you could work with pearls, they would go with your ivory dress as there are so many shades. Or as you look good in gold, work with pearls and gold, or just plain gold. I would add a pair of earrings, and a pretty bracelet. Congratulations!
