So I finally found a dress for a wedding I'm going to in July but not sure how to dress it up. This is the dress but it's more pink than red - like a rosy pink/red. I'm thinking of going with some earrings but no necklace??

I have these t-strap bronze sandals but I'm not really loving it. I'm thinking maybe a peep toe pump?

So the wedding is starting around 5pm with an evening reception - will be in a castle.....so I'm thinking formal.
Thanks!

That is a gorgeous dress. I personally would do earrings only and not a necklace. Like a sparkly chandelier or similar. Also, I think I would prefer a sandal in silver rather than the bronze. Something lighter as the bronze shoes look heavy and fallish to me.
You will look great!

Beautiful dress!
I think chandelier earrings and no necklace too...and I think peep toe pumps could work but I guess I think of something strappy as more formal. What is your skin tone or do you have any sort of tan? I think your bronze shoes could look great depending on your skin tone, otherwise I might try to find something else...

Love the dress! I agree that earrings but no necklace would be the way to go in terms of jewelry. And I don't think the bronze works at all--too dark--but a pale gold or silver would work well. And I think a delicate sandal would go a lot better with that dress than something like those bronze sandals. Here are two pairs of shoes that both come in silver and gold (one is under $50, one is under $100).

Then I would get sparkly chandelier earrings to coordinate with either silver or gold. These are under $100 and come in both silver and gold. I think something along these lines would work well: http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3034452/0~2376779~6008000~2375353?mediumthumbnail=Y&origin=category&searchtype=&pbo=2375353&P=3
Good luck, and have fun!

Love the 2nd pair of shoes! I have a few pairs of RL's - all "evening" type and they are really comfortable.
gorgeous dress. I agree with everyone on the chandelier earrings and no necklace. How are you going to wear your hair? Up? The only reason I ask is because if you wear it down, the earrings could get lost. And I think silver delicate heels would be perfect with that dress. You could also add a little silver clutch to add a touch more silver to the outfit.

Thanks so much! You ladies rock!! :D:D I knew you would come through with something.
I am loving those shoes Sposa06! I'm tall so I'm more partial to the ralph shoes - it's gorgeous. And the fact that they are comfortable is even better!
I'm starting out with my hair up but by the end of the night, it's going to be down :D A big group of our friends are going and I'm sure there will be a lot of dancing - very excited about this wedding!
Off to look for earrings. Oh - apart from my watch, should I wear any bracelet?
