Black dress with nude/ blush accessories?

stir_crazy

Hi All,

Looking for some fashion advice here, I have a wedding near the end of March and I have already picked my shoes/ bag and fascinator which are a nude/ blush colour. I figured it would be easy enough to pick up a nice frock before the wedding, but looking around, the nicest/ classiest ones are all in black! I don't mind about wearing black to a wedding, but would it seem strange with the nude accessories?

I wear black and nude. Both classic and elegant :-)

Thank you.
It's not something I would usually think to pair together, but I'm running out of options!

What about navy, cerise pink or red? If you prefer a more subtle option what about blush pink, beautiful with nude & still very classy.

I would love any of those colours, but I'm having a hard time finding anything decent that isn't black on my high street (without having to pay a fortune). So far, almost everything I've found has had a short hem (which I wouldn't mind wearing out on the town, but feel that it should be longer for a wedding) or has cut outs in awkward places, or peplums, which make my bottom end look even larger than it is

Have you looked at Debenhams online? Or Phase Eight's sale page on their website?

Perhaps a black dress with a nude-coloured sash around the waist?

I once wore a Coast dress which was black and had a nude hemline and nude sash, looked really nice and first time I'd worn black to a wedding

A friend of mine picked up an absolutely gorgeous navy and blush / nude dress in quiz today for less than half price - £24.99 instead of £60

Thanks guys - I managed to pick up a cobalt blue dipped hem dress at the weekend which might do, however Lilith's idea of wearing a nude sash sounds really nice so that's always an idea if I can't find anything else!
