Help - high neck wedding dress... but no accessories seem to work.

I have a high neck halter wedding gown in white lace (the whole dress is lace with an underlay so there is texture and pattern). Clearly a necklace is out and long earrings seem right. Still, the veil seems out of place unless it's set low in the back. And a tiara/headpiece seems to fight either the vibe or it's too much texture. How the heck are you guys working this out? Has anyone else had this problem? Similar to this... no belt.

    I have a kind of similar dress. When I tried it on, they also tried several veils with it, and I thought a simple raw-edge fingertip length looked pretty good with mine. I'll probably have my hair in a low bun, so the comb will just get tucked in there. I'm on the fence about earrings - I normally wear cubic zirconia studs (I have three lobe piercings), but I also have a pair of leafy looking climber earrings that kind of match the shapes on my dress. I don't have any long earrings I really like, but I definitely want to at least try to find a pair to see how they look.

    I'd do glitzy chandelier earrings and a simple toss-over veil.

    Oh, and hair down or just half-up. If it's all pulled back it might look a little too stuffy when put all together.

    I agree with the other ladies! A beautiful fascinator and long drop earrings! You can always do a delicate strand of pearls or bling for a headband piece. Also consider a veil with lace embroidery or anything bordered.

    I think that I decided on a cathedral lace-edged veil and impressive dangling earrings. I might just go without a hair piece or headpiece. I'm thinking simple and relaxed. My vibe is elegant boho. So, I think just the veil beautiful earrings and even my hair down - is my new direction... Thoughts?

    I also have a very high collar so I scrapped the necklace and i had the same issue of the veil just had to be pretty low but it looks pretty if say so myself! The tiara still needs adjustment and then I have very large bracelets but that's pretty much all I can do without it looking too weird
