Will red accessories with this dress be too much?

I’ve bought this dress for a wedding next month, I love the print but I’m aware it’s pretty loud so I’m not sure what to wear with it. Was thinking nude shoes and clutch, but I don’t really like that colour on me and I don’t think the classic nude court shoe goes with the vintage style of the dress? ( could be wrong there! ) I have quite short legs too so from that point of view I suppose nude and no straps would be better, but not so easy to dance in.
I’ve found some lovely red t bar type sandals that also look comfy, but I’m worried if I accessorise with red ( or indeed any of the other hundred shades in the dress! ) I might look a bit garish?!
I was going to get a vintage style floral hair clip thing too, as I always feel you need something on your head for a wedding, but would that also be too much?
Any ideas to stop me making a fashion faux pas greatly appreciated ( unless it’s “wear a different dress” Grin ) as I don’t get out much these days and want to look nice! Thanks.

I know....but I really like the shoes! I have a couple of weeks, so think I will try them and hope for the best. If they look terrible I’ll have time to ( hopefully! ) find something else.
