Suggest some accessories?

I've got this dress to wear to a wedding - could anyone suggest some accessories?

I'm planning to wear nude heels with it and am reluctant to try to find alternatives because I have awkward feet and struggle to find shoes that fit!

I'd like to find a bag and wrap/jacket/ something similar and perhaps a necklace.

I thought maybe a metal gold clutch bag?

The dress is actually a bit brighter turquoise than it looks in the picture and (I think!) looks better in real life than it does on the model

Here are a couple of ideas from John Lewis for a jacket, not too structured so they don't detract from or swamp the lines of the dress
Boden Polperro jacket £98
and
Monsoon Nola jacket £70

Melissa Odabash has some nice pieces of turquoise, earrings from about £35, again at John Lewis.

You might be better getting your jacket first, then a bag, perhaps nude like your shoes?

Well, I'm a bit miffed now as most of Melissa's items are "out of stock". Hmm

I think this is quite a difficult colour to match. I’ve looked at photos from previous years at Royal Ascot where ladies are wearing turquoise. Mainly they match the turquoise! Sometimes going paler with a cream/turquoise mix for a jacket would work and sometimes going darker! Sometimes bright accessories are used such as splashes of orange. The other option is a cream Chanel look alike tweed. LKBennett do an expensive one but it would work well and be useful afterwards.

You can colour clash turquoise with royal blue if you like strong colours. Hot pink might also work.

Thanks. I like the Boden jacket, but it's sold out in my size.

I do have an off-white jacket that I hadn't considered. it's ponte so I thought maybe a bit casual and I worry about white at a wedding, but I'll give it a go.

I hadn't realised how hard it is to find something to go with turquoise!

I had considered bright pink, but don't wear much pink, so wasn't sure about getting something in a colour I don't really wear, but I'll have a look for some ideas.

I'd not considered bright blue, but that would be much more my sort of colour, so I'll definitely have a look for ideas.

Thanks for your help
