I am going to an autumn wedding and wearing dress which has a slightly vintage look in RL

Planning on navy accessories. Have got the shoes but that is it.

Need a bag, headwear of some description and something to keep the chill off. Any ideas please ?

navy clutch

Looking at the sleeves of the dress I'm not sure a jacket or bolero would work well. How about a shawl or a cape.

navy cape

If you want to keep the vintage theme going then a pillbox fascinator might work. Something like this one.

Good ideas there @Mumski45 I have spotted the navy cape already. The dress needs something to just sit on the shoulders, putting your arms through something will spoil the effect and also crease the sleeves

The bag is more than I want to pay for something I am likely to use once Smile

Have you tried looking for a bag on somewhere like Vinted. You find lots of stuff that people use once for things like weddings that are in very good condition. Sometimes even things bought for weddings but which were then never used.

Loads here, new, preloved and vintage.

I used to go to Goodwood Revival in 40s style. I always bought things like fake fur stoles, bags and shoes from ebay.

Monsoon! It always seems to sort me out for weddings and similar occasions.
Beautiful dress, by the way!

Faux fur sheds microplastics constantly which are the currently the worst pollutant causing river, lake and ocean pollution. The pollution in turn is decimating multiple species. What’s more important? The planet and protecting wildlife or sporting faux fur?

Is OP planning to go swimming in it?

Karen Millen (back when it was actually designed and owned by Karen) used to have amazing faux fur stoles. I bought one on ebay to wear with a bombshell dress for my daughter's wedding. You have time to stalk a few on ebay!
