Help with outfit for brother in law's wedding

[WingFling]

Husband's brother is getting married early in Feb. I'm aware the shops are soon going to be full of sparkly Christmas things so decided to go dress shopping last weekend.

I liked the attached dress from Wallis, but they didn't have my size so have ordered it online to try on. Assuming it fits, what colour shoes/bag should I go for?

I'm usually a v, v casual dresser. Jeans, jumper, converse. I'm 28, a size 14 with a bit of a wobbly tummy since having a baby a couple of years ago, and 5'3". For summer weddings, when I'm a guest that's not important, I usually go for a floral tea dress, cardi and flats, but I think I'm going to be required to be a bit more polished here. I don't often wear heels but the ones I get along best with have chunky heels/ wedges and more coverage over the foot - I guess shoe booty type things?

I don't like being in photos very much and am not hugely confident in my appearance but husband and son are both groomsmen so I think I'm going to be in a lot of the pictures and would love to be able to have some nice pictures of us all looking smart but mostly I just want to get through to day without feeling embarrassed/uncomfortable.

Sorry that's gone a bit more in depth than I meant it to. In summary- please help me look decent and well put together for a wedding - thanks!

It's a pretty dress, but a lot of people would advise you to steer clear of black for a wedding, as black is the colour of mourning so not seen as appropriate.

I love the cut of the dress but the colour makes it look like you’re going to a funeral not a wedding. Did they sell it in other colours? Even if it’s a dark / navy blue

This dress is gorgeous and will be a very flattering fit. I'm not sure about black for a wedding (but this dress comes in purple too). Think this would be perfect for a wedding in February.

I like the dress but not the colour for a wedding.

It's actually a plum colour - sorry, didn't realise it looked so dark in the photo

I love it

It's lovely and clearly not black. Wear flats or a very small heel, no point being uncomfortable. There'll be loads of dressy ankle boots about. Bag, jacket, cardi whatever accessories maybe in a brighter berry colour.
