Style experts, please give me ideas on how to make a deep berry dress more summer-y!!

Just that really...

I've ordered this dress for a big wedding event, and will be meeting all of DP's extended family:

Dress

I love the cut and style but need ideas to brighten it up. Yellows maybe?! Want to look effortlessly non-mutton dressed as lamb stylish!

Shoes, shrug, accessories, please?

How about tan or nude shoes and a natural woven/raffia type clutch bag?

Nice dress. A few ideas here of colours here that may work...

cobalt

mustard

bright red

lilac/pink

If you're on Pinterest have a search for deep berry or maroon and see what you come up with for inspiration...

Thanks, both! I thought nude shoes to begin with, actually, but wondered if that was a "safe" option, but like the idea of the elongating legs part of it!

I am drawn to yellows for acessories for some odd reason so the mustard photo inspired me to look for some now!
