I would like something to bring the suit alive. It is grey chiffon with some frilly detail on the top. I don't want to blend into the background. I need shoes, handbag and a fascinator not a hat! I have tried grey and black and did not like it at all.
I am 40 something. Have a wicked sense of humour, and like to think that I am reasonably up to date with fashion.
All answers will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to you all : )

For a classic look, try neutral tone pearl accessories. Large faux pearls will look funkier than a thin strand. A multi strand choker would be good if it doesn't fight with the trim you mentioned. A multi strand cuff bracelet and drop earrings should add enough detail.
If your coloring is cool, then why not go all grey with the bag and shoes, but wear diamond jewelry (or tasteful faux)? Just a little touch of cool sparkle on your handbag--like a rhinestone clasp--l can pull it all together. Go with single, larger stones if you can.
Cluster settings and cocktail rings are out of style right now.
Or, pick a silver/platinum handbag and shoes instead of basic grey to kick it up a notch.
There's also a chance that the right green will work in jewelry, but again, keep it simple with large, clear stones in simple settings.
If you haven't picked out the fascinator yet, then that might help you set the color scheme as many have more than one color in accessorizing the feathers or flowers.
Half the fun of something like this is in experimenting before the big day. Good luck. I really like your attitude!

Any of the shades of pink from a very soft pastel to a bright fuchsia would look great with grey. Pinks are also great for making skintone look wonderful, which would fit your obvious young outlook no matter what your age. A fuchsia clutch and shoes would be great, and a lighter accent color would be a good contrast. Congratulations to your son and your whole family. Have a fun day and a wonderful wedding day!

I think a strand of pearls and earrings to match would be so classy and soooo feminine! Grey is such a wonderful color in itself and chiffon is magnificent. Bold colors would overload the softness and floatiness and be too much!. You need something pastel or, in my opinion, pearly to go hand-in-hand. Make sure your jewelry matches....and your shoes blend with the color you choose such as Black pearls or Saltwater pearls(pinkish or ivory colored) whatever shade you choose... the co-ordinating color of silk shoes would be perfect!
;-) Oh, and C-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S!!!! I bet you are proud! You sound so!

It honestly depends on the season the wedding is... Pastels are really in right now... So...I would say like a pink or purple... If in the fall or winter times...a red or burnt orange would absolutely look great!! Good luck!

Deep plums (amythest) would look fantastic and not so 80's as grey and pink. For a bolder statement go with red (rubies).

Pink always goes great with grey. Try a light pink or maybe even baby blue.

Any shade of pink up to fuschia...which ever looks the best with your skin tone.
Or try the black, along with red.

Grey will go with any color you choose. You might find a set of earrings and brouch in the colors of the brides maids dresses, or what ever your favorite color might be. Have fun with it.
