accesorizing assistance for wedding please?
Hello fellow steamers! I am in dire need of some fashion assistance.
Long time lurker, obviously first time poster. I'm not new to the steampunk genre, as i have been happily dressing dapper for years now, however, this is Something Different. in fact, its quite out of my league, which is why i need help.
I'm getting married in March, and am of course celebrating with a Neo-Victorian/Steampunk wedding ceremony. I've done costumes before with various combinations of corsetry, leather coats, gadgets and goggle, of course, but never anything all that refined. (seeing as i preferred the grease smudged to the white gloved, tbh)
anyway, so, i need some advice. here is the dress i will be wearing:

(that link should work, let me know if it doesn't, please)
so far, i'm going to be adding a pair of tea stained lace, fingerless elbow gloves to accessorize, but that's unfortunately about as far as i've gotten, and that's really not all that steamy :C i need more!
at this point, i will take any sort of advice you can give. hell, i'll even take self recs if you have an etsy store or something you're willing to part with that you think would go perfectly with that dress. i want very badly to add more, but i'd like to stay classy at the same time i go steamy (seeing as its a wedding and all) thus i have turned to you fine folk for such assistance.
tl;dr, please help me steampunk my wedding dress. any advice will be happily accepted.
thanks everyone!
