How to Accessorise an Evening Dress for a Wedding Reception

An evening dress is only the beginning. The way you accessorise it is what creates a truly polished, memorable look for a wedding reception.

Start With the Shoes

Comfortable, elegant heels are essential since you will be standing and dancing. Metallic and nude tones are versatile, while a bold colour can become a feature in itself.

Choose One Statement Piece

Let either your earrings, necklace or clutch be the star, rather than competing pieces. A pair of statement earrings is often all an evening dress needs.

Add a Wrap or Jacket

Receptions often get cooler in the evening, so a satin wrap, faux fur stole or tailored jacket keeps you comfortable and adds elegance.

Carry the Essentials

A small clutch in a complementary tone holds your evening essentials and completes the outfit neatly.

Finishing Touches

A subtle hair accessory or a refined watch adds polish. Remember that with a beautiful dress, less is often more.
