Help me style this for a wedding, please?

I have two weddings this year, one in April and one in October. Different friend set, so I can get away with the same dress.

Got this in the sales, but struggling with how I should style it. I have a lovely little ivory, 3d floral clutch from coast from a wedding last year, and a cropped ted baker floral jacket (ivory background with a large floral print), but would these be ok?

I need a hatinator I think, but what colour? Shoes?

I'm a 16 at the moment, hoping to lose weight for the weddings, 5'8, long dark hair.

Would also appreciate make up input. I am good at applying, but again, given the dress colour I am iffy on what lipstick and eyeshadow colour to go with.

Great dress! I think a hatinator or indeed any headpiece/hair adornment would be serious overkill however. I would focus on the other accessories. I'd go with a nude/neutral shoe if your other pieces are ivory. Makeup again I'd go very neutral. With a long orange dress and floral accessories, I don't think you want anything else going on...

Think the jacket sounds too busy for the dress, got anything plain, grey would look good?

Your hair-

Soft waves would look great, maybe with a diamanté clip in one side, think 40's movie star look.

Make up I would keep really clean and simple, but with cat eye liquid eyeliner. Neutral lips for day, then switch to red for the evening. I would do a antiqued gold on my nails. Think high gloss, luxe for your look.
