Is this dress OTT for a wedding guest? How should I accessorise?

I'm thinking of wearing this dress to a wedding in July: www.lindybop.co.uk/ophelia-sky-blue-floral.html
I would wear a petticoat in order to give it shape, so it would be a bit of a 'statement' however it's very different to the bridesmaid dresses and the colours are somewhat in keeping with the 'festival' theme.
Would you consider it OTT or is it a safe guest choice?

The next question is accessories... What would you wear over the top in order to keep warm? A wrap? A shrug? A jacket?

Shoes are going to pose a problem. I'm currently wearing an air cast boot due to injury/steroid injection and the wedding is the weekend after it comes off.

I own these (wore them for my own wedding), however I'm not sure whether I'll be able to cope with the heel height: www.houseoffraser.co.uk/shoes-and-boots/paradox-london-pink-perfume-vintage-style-t-bar-sandals/d554958.pd#215806081&_$ja=tsid:44970%7Ccid:202644475%7Cagid:10012780675%7Ctid:pla-297491841090%7Ccrid:197556903793%7Cnw:g%7Crnd:15060012519762285369%7Cdvc:t%7Cadp:1o1%7Cmt:

Are there any suggestions for flats/low heels that would look OK?

Thanks!

I think it's lovely..most dresses out at the mo are flowery...now I'm panicking about what I was going to wear to an upcoming one. I tried it on with a few friends round the other night and they were all like'oh wow you look fab' yet as ppl have said don't want light taking away from the bride (who incidentally I have never met)
Have the same shoes too..help?!
