Hawaii hotel wedding in Feb, need accessories

fathenry

Hi ladies, this is an outfit for a somewhat dressy wedding in Hawaii in February at a fancy hotel. Quite a conundrum. How would you accessorize? I have one pic with a gold chain belt and one pic with no belt. I have black sandals on that I like but am open to switching them out. Any preference on these or other suggestions for jewelry, bag, cover up in case it is cool? An un painful strapless bra? Hairstyle?
Thanks!

I think silver or gold sandals would be great with this, or even a nude colour.
Maybe a floral clutch (thinking of all the beautiful flowers in Hawaii).
I don't think you need a belt at all. There's lots of detail with the peplum and the sheer bodice.
How wonderful to be heading to Hawaii, says she staring out at a never ending snowstorm...

Will the wedding or any part of the party be in the gardens of the hotel ? If so you might want to ensure your shoes are wedge, chunky heel or flat rather than pointy to avoid the 'coring the lawn' problem

I'd add a statement necklace in the same colour as your shoes or in your preferred metal. Clutch with some sparkles perhaps that 'goes' rather than matches.

Lovely color on you! I agree with the metallic shoes and floral clutch suggestions already given. I can't quite tell from the photos but it looks like that is a sheer bodice/yoke? If so, would you consider a bra with "pretty" straps, perhaps lacy or colored, that you would not mind showing though the sheer bodice? Something to think about.

I don't think the words "comfortable" and "strapless bra" can coexist in the same sentence but would love to be learn otherwise.

Another vote for no belt. I feel the dress has enough going on without a belt.
I think your current shoes are fine with it - if I wore these I would aim for a black and fushia clutch or similar, or just a black clutch.
Neutral shoes would be great also, or a colour of similar intensity but different.
Have fun- how cool to be going to a wedding!

PS I wear strapless bras and they are never that comfortable!

Nice frock. I vote earrings, arm candy, metallic footwear, and any colour clutch.

Toppers for dressy frocks are hard. You will ruin the lines of the dress by covering it up. A fitted satin trench coat would be ideal, but a tall order.

The dress has some very strong lines. I think a bold cuff bracelet would the only other strong element that I would add. Then keep the earrings, clutch, and shoes simple. And I agree with metallic footwear.

Thanks all for looking at these pix and sharing your ideas. Love the idea of floral clutch. Did not realize the cat was standing in front of my feet in the pic! I agree with those that said no belt. Going to look for metallic sandals.I accept that a wrap will look funny because I don't want to take a trench to Hawaii The wedding is overlooking the beach and lawn but not on it, but thank you for the reminder not to aerate the lawn. Gold bracelet is also a good idea.
Thanks!
