Burgundy dress + gold accessories

I love the look of a burgundy dress with gold accessories! It’s such a classic combination that always feels elegant and luxurious – perfect for any formal occasion.

I would recommend keeping it simple with just one gold accent so the outfit doesn’t feel too over the top. But of course, it’s all about personal style! If you like a bolder look, go for a gold clutch and matching heels.

Gold accessories work beautifully with any dress, no matter the style or fabric. But honestly, nothing beats that dreamy Greek goddess vibe when you pair a tulle or silk crepe dress with gold accents!

You can mix and match gold and silver accessories as long as you keep the look balanced. A combo like silver drop earrings and gold heels (like the ones you’ll see next from Closet da May) is perfect for a glamorous night out!

Burgundy dress + silver accessories

For a more sophisticated look, you can’t go wrong with silver accessories! Like gold, they’re perfect for any formal occasion and pair beautifully with a burgundy dress, no matter the style or fabric.

Tulle or silk crepe dresses are ideal for daytime events, while satin or sequined gowns are more appropriate for evening weddings.

I’d recommend adding just a few silver accents to keep the look balanced and let your dress be the star.

For an elegant vibe, go for a silver clutch and heels, then tie it all together with earrings that have a hint of the color of your dress.

Dark, glamorous green accessories like emerald are a classic and elegant choice for wedding guests! An emerald green clutch will add the perfect pop of color to your outfit without stealing the spotlight from your dress.

Burgundy dress + blue accessories

Like emerald green, navy blue is a stylish choice to add some color to your look! Perfect for evening parties or weddings, a clutch in this glamorous shade pairs beautifully with silver accessories, like earrings or heeled sandals.

Monochromatic outfits

If you’re looking for something more subtle yet elegant, a monochromatic look is the way to go. A burgundy clutch, for example, is the perfect choice to make your dress the star of the party!

You can complete the look with silver accessories such as jewelry or shoes. This combination is perfect for bridesmaids because it keeps the focus on the dress.
