thanks imsopostmodern the pics are REALLLYY pretty!!

yeah i was thinking black or maybe a tan sort of colour but lol it's been difficult havent been able to go out shopping since the exams started and wont be able till until this wednesday! haha i'm trying to keep to a budget of really cheap shoes and clutch. i was thinking op shopping for a clutch if i cant find one to borrow off my friends and for shoes something around $20-40 with shoes similar to those pump heels! anybody know any good stores? i live around bankstown, sydney.

i have a feeling that i'll be falling over a whole lot that night xD haha never worn heels THAT HUGE before, only ever a couple of cms. teeheee!

Black always looks nice but if you want to add colour then I reckon red, aqua or purple heels and a matching clutch would look fab.
As for jewellery I would say pearls. Because the dress is strapless I suggest earrings and no necklace. Pearl earrings would look lovely and maybe even a nice pearl bracelet too.

i would also go with a red clutch and gold and pearl like coloured accessories like this:


<-- i know it's not a necklace or earrings but i would go with colours similiar to those for earrings and stuff

i think you should wear gold or ivory coloured shoes, with a matching coloured clutch


as for the jewellry, i think a gold & pearl theme would look great :)

yeah i wouldnt wear ivory shoes because it would probably wash the dress out. gold could be risky, it may work with a small amount of gold jewellery.

not a massive fan of beige either. because it's quite pale, i would be making sure that my accessories were a bit bold. i do like the black suggestions

i think for shoes you should go with something black and simple so that the attention is on the dress :D which is very pretty by the way

I was thinking black heels, black clutch and chunky black earrings.

They'll pop against the dress and there's no risk of different shades of gold/beige not matching.

You need either a very light gold, or a pearl. If you want to go bold, black will look good but you'd have to be confident and fiery to pull it off. Diva/Equip has loads and loads of jewelery that will compliment the dress.
