This is such a gorgeous dress! I was drawn to the simple silhouette and flowing fabric. This is such a perfect dress for an spring or summer wedding.  Instead of just showing off this incredible dress and leaving you to tread the waters alone to find everything needed to complete this look, I have decided to just complete it for you!

Since the dress is minimalistic I think the best idea is to spruce it up with some statement accessories. I love the blush, gold and ivory tones, and we all know that fabric flowers are so incredibly in right now (and hopefully this is one trend that will stick for a very long time to come!). More is not always better, so each piece has only a subtle “statement” which all comes together as a complete look.

This flower clutch is so chic and modern. It’s so out there and unusual but due to the ivory color, it won’t suck all the attention from the beautiful bride. And any girl knows that going anywhere without a clutch is not only fairly impossible, but definitely not as fun. Now, add a statement bracelet like this to your wrist and you’ve got your hands full!

What you do with your neck and chest is a pretty important part of completing your wedding look. You could do a simple single pendant silver necklace and create a really simple look, but for fear of not going out there enough, I figured a statement necklace to really bring home the complete look and an all-eyes-on-you awe, would be your best bet!

Since we went pretty far out there with the accessories, I figured some nude shoes would tie it all together. These cute little Betsey Johnson’s won’t over do your look, but with the flowers at the toes, it will tie your look together from head to toe!

Playing with accessories to complete your look is often times better than buying a “statement” dress and not worrying about your look any further. Accessorizing definitely a fun task, but remember that there is a limit to accessorizing! Take it only so far, but don’t flood your overall look with gobs of accessories all over! Keep it classy yet fun!

Show it Off:

Posting an ample amount of photos of your dress is better. The more you post, the better idea a person can get of the dress and all the different views. After your wedding you are bound to have tons of photos of you in your dress, in ALL different angles, so give people a real idea of your gown.

Models are no Substitute for the Real Thing:

Posting pics from the designer’s collection photo shoot will give people some what of an idea of the dress design, but it is no substitute for the real thing! So it is time for you to be the model to show your dress in your size, on you (while also giving people a little glimpse of your gorgeous wedding!). The more the buyer can see the real dress, the better chance you will have of getting some interest.

Fill In the Blanks:

Give people as much information as possible about your dress. Fill in all the blanks so you end up in more searches and so that potential buyers can get the true look and feel of your dress!

Promote It!

Tell everyone you know about it. If someone is interested in purchasing your dress, send over the Smart Bride link so they can get all the details. That will save you time and effort and makes it easier for the buyer as well! Tell your Twitter followers, post it on Craigslist, Wedding Bee, etc etc.  Smart Bride is completely free for you as a seller, so use it as a place to store all the info you want about the dress, then send people to the link to check it out!

List your dress now!

One of the easiest ways to save money on your wedding is to purchase a used gown.  Let’s face it, the dress has only been worn for a few hours and will most likely be in perfect/like-new condition.  Brides should ask themselves, is it really worth spending thousands of dollars on a gown that you’ll wear for a few hours and never again?

Hi Everyone,

We’re looking for used dresses.  If you or anyone you know happens to have a dress from one of these designers, we’d love for you to post it on SmartBride. Best of all, it’s free!
