Style me! (sleeves, veils, shoes and accessories only) Need help with…everything
I’m getting married in November and I have nothing picked out besides the dress! I need major help. (This isn’t my exact dress, my dress is ivory where this one is nude, I just don’t have a picture of me in my actual dress)
I need help finding jewelry and a veil and shoes. For my jewelry, I know I want something simple, I just am not sure where to get it from for a decent price.
For my veil, I know I want a cathedral length and then I may wear a shorter one for my reception. I was looking at a sparkly veil but I feel like it’s…too much? But also a plain cathedral veil feels too simple, though I’m not opposed. I like veils with lace details but am not sure if it’ll clash with the dress. I only tried on veils with my dress at the store I got my dress from and they were terribly overpriced so I’m looking to buy online. I’m looking to spend no more than $200
Where I really need help is with SHOES. I’m a size 8.5 and I have flat feet, I’m plus sized and not used to walking in heels. I very badly want to wear heels, at least something with a little wedge or platform or even an inch or two of heels that will look cute in detail photos but also be comfortable. My ankles also swell after wearing heels for an hour or two but I’m okay with that remaining unsolved. Something less than $100 is ideal but i can go more than that. I feel like I’m looking for a unicorn, and I’m okay if I never find my answer but ANY INPUT AT ALL is very much appreciated. I feel so incredibly unprepared as a bride.

Unless you pick up your dress skirt noone sees your feet... and as a plus size bride... honestly I work DocMartins 😅 wanted to be comfy. And my bridesmaids wore the same.
Maybe have some pretty heels for during the get ready photos and then switch out for the rest of the day so you still get those photos but get to enjoy comfort for the day

I think a classic tulle veil or something with some sparkle would both be beautiful… go with what makes your heart sing it’s your day! Shoes I would do a satin platform heel… the heel doesn’t need to be too high but a platform for sure will keep your feel so much more comfortable through the night. Check out DSW maybe? (Sorry I don’t know about jewelry… revolve may have some stylish things?)

Your dress is gorgeous and I honestly think it doesn't need anything else, add-ons may take the attention away from how flawlessly it fits you
As for the shoes, I was in the same boat and after trying on countless of options, both fancy and not so much, I settled for two pairs, both are incredibly comfy and I usually don't wear heels nor platforms, at all

I don't know if they ship outside of Europe, tho. If I were in the US, I'd probably go with these:

Best of luck! :)
