Mediterranean wedding. This dress?

I am going to a garden wedding in a Mediterranean country in three weeks. It will be very hot and all of the day spent outside in beautiful gardens. There is no need to cover up for religious purposes, i checked. Will this dress work?

Was thinking about a white or straw floppy hat with it (and factor 50). What shoes?

Ooooh, lucky you! The dress looks lovely - I'm imagining Mama Mia here.

Have a fab time!

Really like the dress & it's silk which'll be lovely and light.

Fairly casual sandals like this?

I have and love these too.

LOvely dress, how about this hat in natural?

Wedges would llok good, work on the grass and stop it ending up too casual.

Thanks, those sandals are lovely, but I don't have the slimmest of legs, so flat sandals with a high gladiatorish t-bar really don't work with skirts for me.

I think it's going to be impossible to match the pinky red colour to shoes and possibly too matchy matchy if I do? Is a metallic to much for a garden, or ok? Tan feels a bit ordinary for a wedding? Stuck on the bag too.

Hopefully, I won't have to sing (or wear dungarees the day before, is Meryl Streep the only woman to look ok in dungarees).

A coral is fine with the dress but I'd go with a deeper shade htan the dress

It will look gorgeous. I had a Mediterranean wedding just like that and one of my favourite things was marvelling at how gorgeous all the girls looked in the bright coloured dresses. Enjoy! Wish I was doing it all again.

Oh I love the coral ones and the idea of a darker colour than the dress, thank you, I can see how that will work.

I never tan, so have to go for pale and uninteresting, but think the coral works well with my fish belly white limbs.

I can do a high wedge, but will be running around after crawling 7 month old and nightmare three year old, so may need something a little lower like the lk Bennett ones.
