Depending on the look that you want to achieve and the dress that you have there are lots of different ways to accessorise a prom dress. Here are some ideas:-

 

 

If you have a simple prom dress, this is a great way to add interest. For a quirky and eye catching look, try pairing either one or more accessories in a contrasting colour with your prom dress. A silver or grey prom dress looks great with a purple handbag and shoes. A black dress with gold, silver, green, red or blue shoes and bag.

 

 

For a more subtle effect, try using accessories in a similar colour to your prom dress, perhaps dark grey or pewter shoes with a black dress. This works best with prom dresses that have a lot of detail or interest and will avoid the overall look being too busy.

 

 

Another great way to add some interest to a simple prom dress in an understated way is to have accessories in the same colour as the outfit but with different textures. For example a satin prom dress with a beaded bag or velvet shoes.

 

There are three main accessories that almost everyone will wear with a prom dress. These are a bag, shoes and jewellery. Your choice of accessories will make or break the outfit as much as the prom dress itself, so choose carefully. Here are some of the key things to consider.

 

 

A bag to go with a prom dress is ideally a fairly small clutch bag. There are plenty of beautiful bags available from satin to beaded to velvet. Bear in mind what you will need to take with you the smaller the bag the less you can take but too larger bag will look out of place with a prom dress.

 

 

Shoes are a great way to make a statement, if you have a beautifully elegant and simple prom dress, you can get away with some seriously full on shoes. Otherwise opt for some simple strappy black high heel sandals. If you are not used to wearing high heels choose a chunkier heel and practice walking in them before hand.

 

 

Jewellery is an important of your prom outfit. As with all other accessories less is more. Don't over do it. Only choose really big glitzy jewellery if you have a really simple dress. Perhaps just have one really glitzy piece. A big sparkling necklace, bracelet and earrings may make you look like Christmas tree. if your dress is beaded opt for very simple jewellery in silver or gold which ever compliments the colour of the dress. Diamonds look great with a prom dress, fake diamonds will look just as good and probably no one will know they are not real. You will need to think carefully about how a necklace will look with the neckline of your dress, A bustier prom dress allows for a bigger feature necklace than perhaps a halter neck prom dress.

 

The key to tastefully accessorising your prom dress for a stunning outfit is to choose one really interesting and eye-catching item either the dress or an accessory and keep the rest elegant but low key. This will guarantee that you look and feel amazing in your prom dress. The only other must have accessory that you will need is your smile.
