2 - The dress is not the only vital ingredient to prom soup, now you need shoes.

Heels or flats?
- If you want heels, how high?
-
Open shoes or closed up?
- Colours?
- Block colour or patterns?
TIP*When buying your shoes make sure that the colour goes with your dress. It is always best to buy gold, silver or nude colours and sometimes the colour of the dress if you have a long dress*

2 - You hair is another big thing about your prom.
- Up or down?
- Curled or Straightened?
- Bun or pinned back?
-
On the side?
TIP*It's always nice to have your hair up either in a bun or pinned back when you have straps. However it is quite nice to have your hair up when you are in a strapless if you are wearing an outstanding or diamante necklace*
You can look at hair styles on the internet, even Google images is a good search.
3 - Now, accessorizing you outfit is the main idea.
Okay, So you can use:
Necklaces, Bracelets, Earrings, Rings Corsages, Tiaras, Bags.
(All of these on the links above)
TIP*Clutch bags are always the best option and normally the same colour as your jewellery and shoes (E.c.t. Gold, Silver, White/Cream*
It all depends on what you like but instead of tiaras you could use flowers or clips. It's always nice to add some diamantes to your outfit but if you'd rather prefer it with out that is perfectly fine. As at the end of the day it's what you want and no body else wants. As long as you feel comfortable that's all that matters.
4 - Last but not least, your make-up is your last key thing to complete your fabulous look for the prom.
Are you going to go for smoky eyes? Or the more natural attempt? Are you going to have a professional stylist do it or have a family member or friend do it?
TIP*A great way of giving yourself rosy cheeks is to spread lipstick up your cheek bones then rub it in and see the magic*
