So I've bought this lovely dress for a friend's wedding in the next couple of months and need help accessorizing it! It's not quite as formal as I usually go for weddings, but the last couple I've turned up and inadvertently looked a bit bridesmaid-y . I know it's styled with white tennis shoes in the pic but I think it can be styled up.

What I will need is a) shoes, b) something to cover up in the evening and c) general pretty things to add to it .

I have a black wrap that I was thinking for the cover up - but is that too bridesmaidy again? I'm not really a jacket type of person (large 12/small 14 everywhere but the boobs, where I'm a 16 - jackets never sit right, I'm just delighted the dress fits them!).

Shoes - my usual go to would be something black, but is there a better colour to go for with the dress? Probably need to be quite chunky as it's a barn wedding so high likelihood of being outside at points.

Pretty things - silver jewellery? I don't usually go for pendants (again, boobs) so something short and pretty - maybe even pearl? I was also toying with a cocktail hat to make it a bit more dressy (e.g. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/248686399/black-fascinator-feather-cocktail-hat?&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_uk_en_gb_b-accessories-hats_and_caps-formal_hats&utm_custom1=f1864d27-1713-41c7-8e95-17641bce0d93&gclid=CjwKEAiAxKrFBRDm25f60OegtwwSJABgEC-ZZeDaz3OEMCP5EqUStrWRje4p9NSZmr5kp31O0m2PqRoCMjPw_wcB) but would that look ridiculous?

All help greatly appreciated, for various reasons I need to look good at this wedding so critique away!

The dress is lovely. When's the wedding, if it's likely to be a bit warmer then maybe you could get a soft cardigan in a contrasting colour? Maybe nude or silver heels rather than black?

Great dress. I'd be tempted to pick out the teal of the centre of the flowers for one of your accessories.
I love these shoes and the heel would be ideal for a barn wedding, although the velvet may be a bit heavy for spring.
Not sure about that particular cocktail hat. I think it's a bit too 'vampy' for the dress.
What is your hair like?

I don't think you'll want to get this shipped over from Italy but look at this fab hat.

I'm also rather taken with the American pink daisies

The neck of the dress is quite high so I think you may be better going for earrings or bracelets than a necklace.

Teal block heels

You could wear a pendant on a large longer chain like this in the longer length or even longer. It's the only type of statementy piece I can imagine working.

Silver daisy bangle

Alternatively, black shoes, black waterfall jacket (I know the picture shows it in black, daisy bangle and peach sinamay hair clip

Chunky teal sandals look great.
I'd go for bangles and earrings. Pearls ...maybe chunky.
Definitely nothing at the neck.
Pashmina for cosy evening ..... if needed.

It's got quite a Sixties feel to it, so I'd be tempted to go down that road a little bit.
*Cropped cardigan,
*Either a long pendant necklace (I know you said you don't do pendants, but one long enough to go past the boobs, not sit on them can work-I have the same proportions as you) or possibly short multi-string pearls clipped together with a cameo brooch,
*Maybe a brooch rather than a necklace in fact
*winged eyeliner
*slightly bouffant sideswept hair hair with a large jewelled clip to opposite side
*block heeled sandals.
