I'd try small delicate flowers spread around the lower part of the skirt and
in the bouquet. Ribbons should be delicat and not so bold since the color is
so contrasted. I've made lots of wedding dresses and this is what I'd
suggest.
My wedding colors were ecru/cream with wine accents. I mixed pale baby blue
in there every so often for contrast. Gold accents in the table fabrics and
a gold ribbon in my bouquet of wine and cream colored silk flowers. I used
silk lilacs in the chapel. Looked great to me. And in only 2 weeks to plan
it all.

Oooo wedding dress!!!!!:) What color?
De
Well, that has been the hardest part. I want to do a white-ish color
white, cream, chanpagne, etc.) but my accent color is a deep purple-blue.
I originally intended to make it white with the blue accents but the
contrast is so big! I am still trying to figure out how to do it.
I am very inspired by this painting:

But I also like the split-skirt style like the garment just posted.
Sigh....so many ideas and I only get to choose one!
