How to accessorize this dress

I am attending a 6 p.m. wedding at a resort in Sedona, AZ next week, and I bought a blue and white 'fitted' knee length sleeveless dress. The pattern is navy and cream circles (sounds weird but actually fun and pretty cool), but I don't know how to accessorize to dress it up a little. I have a cream colored wrap, or a red or bright pink scarf. The red and pink scarves seem a little too strong though. Perhaps the cream wrap and a fun colored shoe? How about jewelry? Could I wear a silver pearl necklace and bracelet? Or would that look odd next to the pattern (the pattern of circles covers the whole dress).
Any suggestions welcome. Thanks! |

| I like the idea of the cream colored wrap. As for jewelry, it would depend on the type of neckline. |

I'd do a bright colored shoe--even pink or red would be fun. It will be cool in the evening there, so the cream wrap is a good idea.
It's hard to say on accessories without knowing how "formal" the dress is. But it's Sedona, so I would keep it more causal/fun/funky. Is the resort Los Abrigados? If you're taking kids with you and have some time separate from wedding activities, try to have a breakfast or lunch at the Sedona airport--it's on top of a mesa and you can sit outside and watch the plans take off and land. There's also a nice park down the hill a little bit from the Airport as well, I can't remember the name of the street though. Definitely drive through Oak Creek Canyon up towards Flagstaff, too. It should be beautiful right now, and less crowded than during the summer. |

| Large circles? Small circles? This is hard without the whole picture, which includes such things as your hairstyle, the neckline, your build, etc. |

| The dress sounds pretty busy, I would let it do all of the talking! Keep it easy on the jewelry, cream wrap, and maybe a color shoe, but make sure it meshes with the navy. Do you have a great red heel? |

| Cream wrap, not the color. Simple earings, pearl or diamond stud (fake fine) and I would do silver strappy heels. Gold would be ok too. |

| I agree with the PP who said -and w/o a visual we don't know- that the dress sounds busy enough. I wouldn't do too much with accessories. |

| I agree on the cream wrap if it is a busy pattern. Busy dress, simple accessories. Simple dress, bolder accessories. |
