I have just found a lovely floaty baby blue dress and jacket for my daughter's wedding
What colour can i put with this dress?
thanks

Have you thought of silver accessories? shoes, bag etc

I'd go for navy myself, otherwise you risk looking like a fairy! grin

I agree with Anya. Navy accessories would be more useful after the big day

Nude handbag and shoes. Let the dress do the talking. Anything dark would look like full stops.

Silver or nude. smile

Nude shoes look pretty awful on older feet ( I have been looking at them on a friend!)
Navy would be useful afterwards to use, or white, or tan?

How about cream?

I think navy would look elegant with baby blue.

Another vote for navy shoes, bag & headgear here. You might be able to add a touch of baby blue to a hat/fascinator.

Bought a "statement" hat for DS wedding last Sept - navy, chiffon, crushable & under £40 (Debs) - I had a floaty skirt & fitted jacket in a dusky pink & plain navy cami. I cut the hanger ribbons off the skirt, & looped & tacked them on the hat to take just a hint of the exact pink up to the hat - simples!!

It seems navy is the popular choice and I agree. Two shades of blue look very smart. Now you just need to consider headgear. Navy and white would add the finishing touch I think.

White/ navy a good combo - is it a summer wedding? The sales are still on so may be time to get a bargain.

Depends on your own colouring and it doesn't suit everyone but I'd go for scarlet shoes, bag and fascinator.

I might look at a pale green or lavender, but it depends so much on the exact shades
