And your accessories should be clean and modern, too. You could do black or a nude shoe, and very simple jewelry.Angie Kritenbrinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17878595044600808636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-48388196572796457032010-09-24T16:49:25.211-07:002010-09-24T16:49:25.211-07:00The dress doesn't need a thing.

And I'd probably add a vintage brooch to the centre of the bow, something sparky. Then I'd just wear it with a nice pair of (not too big) dangling earrings, a matching clutch and as you said peep-toes. I think that would look cute, dressy and still wouldn't take away from the bride.Katarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814120774835076488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-27586215044590060492010-09-22T11:19:07.582-07:002010-09-22T11:19:07.582-07:00I think I would just add a flower brooch.
