So, you’ve found the gown. It’s gorgeous. It fits perfectly. You feel like a million bucks. But hold on - the outfit isn't complete! Accessories are the secret ingredient that takes your look from stunning to absolutely unforgettable.

Choosing the right shoes and jewelry is crucial for complementing your evening gown without overpowering it. At Lasting Impressions, we believe every detail counts. Here’s our guide to mastering the art of accessorizing:

Step 1: Choosing the Perfect Footwear
Think of your shoes as the foundation of your entire look. They need to be beautiful, yes, but they also need to be comfortable enough to keep you on the dance floor!

For Long Gowns
You have more flexibility here since most of the shoe will be hidden. A sleek metallic stiletto or a jeweled sandal can peek out beautifully. The most important thing is the height - make sure the gown is hemmed perfectly for the heel height you choose.

For Shorter or Slit Gowns
Your shoes will be on full display! This is your chance to make a statement. Consider intricate lace-up heels, glittering embellishments, or a bold color that contrasts subtly with your dress.

Step 2: Selecting the Signature Earrings

At Lasting Impressions, we specialize in helping you find the perfect pair of earrings to frame your face and complete your ensemble. While a beautiful necklace or bracelet can certainly add extra sparkle, focusing on earrings is often the key to effortless elegance. The neckline of your dress remains the single most important factor in guiding your jewelry choices.

Strapless or Sweetheart
These necklines offer the most freedom. You can choose dramatic drop earrings that graze your shoulder or opt for sophisticated chandelier styles. If you feel the need for more coverage, a delicate necklace can fill the open space gracefully.

V-Neck or Plunging

If you decide to skip a necklace, choose mid-length drop or cluster earrings. Alternatively, if you opt for a pendant necklace, stick to simple stud or petite hoop earrings to avoid clutter.

High Neck or Halter

This is the perfect moment for the most dramatic earrings you own! Think long, eye-catching drops or large hoops. Skip the necklace and instead draw attention to your wrists with a dazzling bracelet or cuff.

One-Shoulder

This style is inherently dramatic. Balance the asymmetry with sophisticated drop or statement earrings, but avoid necklaces entirely, as they tend to look crooked or fight the asymmetrical line.
