Wearing my dress again, but need some idea's to make it less 'bridal'

Could you go for black with it? I love black and white, I think it looks really classy. I would have a black shrug, tie a long length of black ribbon around as a belt, with the ends trailing like this, then wear black shoes and bag with an ivory and black fascinator and a simple mask.

Ooooh... I want to come!!!

I must admit I have always wanted to go to a masquerade ball too

O.k ladies need some help / ideas

I've found a lovely mask maker who will make me this: http://www.venicemaskedball.co.uk/black-lace-butterfly-masquerade-mask-1296-p.asp but with white and turqoise / aqua feathers (my favourite colours) and white lace

I've been looking for a shrug type thing and as I don't get on with the style that's just a bit of material I wanted a bolero.

I've now found these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-LONG-SLEEVED-LACE-CARDIGAN-SHRUG-BOLERO-SIZE-8-14-/270832671711?pt=UK_Women_s_Jumpers_Cardigans&var=&hash=item84b8dedf02#ht_1077wt_825 in turqoise or possibly a plain one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-LONG-SLEEVE-CARDIGAN-BLACK-BOLERO-SHRUG-SIZE-8-16-/400238189592?pt=UK_Women_s_Jumpers_Cardigans&var=&hash=item9bffcf03b9#ht_893wt_1110

Then thinking a matching colour ribbon around my waist and then silver clutch bag and silver heels?

What do you think?

YES to all of those!! :T White, silver and turquoise,mmm, lovely!! The dress, is gorgeous, by the way.

As for which bolero, I prefer the lacy one for an evening do, but you might get more wear out of the plain one, so I'm no help there am I?! I'm sure there'll be one you like fractionally more than the other...

I quite like the lace as my mask is lace, but I'm unsure whether it will be too much if the laces don't match?

To be honest I'd get more wear from the other as I could wear it to work, but at about a fiver I'm not 'too' bothered if you know what I mean?

Get the lace then! Doesn't matter if it wont match - the silver shoes and handbag sounds gorgeous too.
