    Figure hugging lilac dress. What colour accessories?
    I have just bought a figure hugging lilac dress. Its just a plain lilac (not purple) and for a wedding so I want to dress it up but im unsure what colour. I was thinking like a fawn/cream blazer and shoes and similar jewellery. Someome else has suggested silver for all accessories so any suggestions?

    Sorry no pic.

    I think both are good options - I think silver is more glamourous, but some cream heels and a blazer would be a little more understated.

    THe only worry with cream is that you could be treading in the territory of wearing white around a bride, but if you paired it with a lilac fascinator, I think it would be gorgeous and really nice.

    Yeah thats the worry with cream but im hoping if its just accessories then itll be ok and ill try aim for darker shades so im not white. The wedding party is apparently in "aqua marine" :/ so I know I wont tread on toes there.

    For some reason I'm picturing a coral blazer and gold accessories, I think that would look nice.

    In my view silver is the best, because silver color having some attracting nature, it looks like glazed and shiny. But i have to show the picture then we can know the details and we are having some clear idea which one suite to that. Then we can tell easily which is suite to that dress. If you can post some pictures.
