Non matchy shoes and bag for wedding.

Ok, I know matchy shoes and bags are a no-no. I'm slightly stuck on what bag I should accessorise with for a wedding. I like 50s style and have a repro 50s dress to wear.
I'm wearing this dress with a petticoat. Shoes will be these, I think.
I'm going to add a shrug from Monsoon, either silver or a pink one.

But what type of bag (and earrings and necklace, if you're feeling kind). Would one of those boxy clutches be ok in a silver or is it a no with the shoes?

Great dress & shoes, love them both.

I know this is a bit over decorated, but that's what I'm thinking would look good.
For earrings and necklace - you can't beat pearls. Large, small, cream, silver, blue, whatever.
Are you wearing a hat?

Thank you. I hadn't thought about a bamboo type bag at all, but it's a great idea.
I've got some vintage faux pearls and some glass pearls I can make earrings from. I don't think I will wear a hat, maybe just a big flower. I'm putting my hair into a semi-updo, when I decide which one.

stripy?

I wouldn't wear any jewellery except discreet stuff but i'd go bright on lips and/or nails to match the sash Grin

Love that dress! It looks like yellow and fuchsia but it says it yellow and purple - am confused. Which is it?

And, will you wear the amazing gloves too?

What sort of budget are you on?

Cover up wise a shrug would spoil it, I think. As shrugs go they're good though. A cropped cardy would be great, or a shawl. This would be fab. Bag wise green would be lovely or purple if it's fuchsia on the dress or a fuchsia if it's purple on the dress.
