Advice wanted on accessories to go with my dress
I bought my dress, the BHLDN Fabienne, about 8 months ago and yet I still haven't been able to decide what kind of jewelry to wear with it! Half of me thinks that the neckline is screaming for a necklace, the other half is in love with how understated the dress is and doesn't want to distract from that. I've been thinking I will keep it simple with just some pretty chandelier earrings, maybe with pearls?, and the sash that I tried on with the dress when I bought it (Madison sash, but it's pricey and in the past 8 months it hasn't gone on sale. Can't find anything I like as much on etsy either, though.). One thing that gets to me is that I want to keep to gold details because gold is a color in the wedding, but I feel like gold chandelier earrings won't be very pretty with the dress and my coloring. I am overcome with indecision!
I want to know other people's ideas! Please let me have it! Ideas on hair are also welcome. I've been thinking some sort of nice half-up half-down style with a pretty comb like this or this or this or this, but I'm open to ideas. Thanks in advance to everyone!

To me, that dress is begging for a pearl bracelet and little pearl drop earrings to match. The dress is sooooo understated and soft and elegant, and it already has the built in sash. In the video of the dress she has a second sash, and that looks a bit strange to me (like from the back you can see there's two). If you wanted to embellish the dress itself (and then tie in a more sparkly earring) I would have a seamstress sew something on either to the middle front of the sash, or a thin line on the top and bottom of the sash. Covering it up with another sash I don't think would look good.
Also, if you're already wearing ivory with a champagne sash, and your wedding has gold in it, gold earrings won't clash any more with your skin than any of it. I say go for it with gold!
