What do you think of this dress for a garden wedding, late 40s bride

After years of putting it off for one reason or another, we've decided we'd better get married. Been together 20 years and feel slightly embarrased about a wedding because I'm extremely introverted.

We've decided to have a celebrant in our garden. We live in Australia and September is the month we've chosen because I'm about to turn 50 then.

I don't want to wear white or cream as I'm very pale and they just don't look good. We're only going to be having about 15 guests...very relaxed, a caterer and a bar....I want something lovely but not short or anything that shows any chest as my chest is very red due to broken veins...I also suit high necks as have a small chest and shoulders. I like this...any thoughts or other suggestions please? Must have SOME sleeve and high neck. Thanks!

It's a beautiful dress. And versatile. You'll be able to wear it again and bring back happy memories of the day.

I'd go for some sort of drop earring to catch the light in a pale colour to bring out the white in the dress. Something like this.

Or given that you are in Australia a pale opal in a similar style would be gorgeous - but probably super expensive.
