Please help me find a dress to wear to a summer wedding

I need help! I'm trying to find a dress to wear to a wedding this summer, I've searched and I can't find anything quite right. I'm 5'2", size 8 to 10. I need something knee length as I hate my knees and want them covered. I like blues and greys, possibly green but nothing too bright.

I love this (not sure if it's dressy enough for a wedding?), and this (nice but out of stock). This one is lovely but too short, this is quite a nice shape but too short and bright, and I quite like this shape but don't like the colour.

So, please please please help me find the perfect dress, Thanks for the winner!

Sorry I can't link from my iPhone but have a look at Monsoon's 'Florence' dress. I wore it to a wedding recently and got lots of comments about how nice it was. It's blue and white.

Hatescolds, they look promising, thanks. I'm on my phone so can't see pictures in much detail, and I couldn't get the French connection link to work. I'll have a proper look at them and the monsoon dress tomorrow, thanks everyone.

Hatescolds, the Charlotte dress looks nice. Nospringflower - I think that french connection dress would be too high necked for me. Should have mentioned that I'm quite top heavy so V necks or scooped necklines tend to suit me best. The florence dress is really pretty nomoreminibreaks, I'm not sure whether the neckline will suit me, but I think I'll go and try that one on. Any more suggestions anyone?

I LOVE those 50s halterneck pencil dresses and they would really suit my shape, but I'm not sure I've got the confidence to carry them off. I'm tempted though. It's a church wedding, does that mean I need something more demure?

The wide skirt one probably the more demure, but I don't know much about church weddings!
