Accessories with this green dress for a spring wedding

I’ve bought this dress which I really like. I’m 5ft so I don’t have the luxury of too much choice.

Thoughts on accessories? I’m not that keen on blazers as they look a bit politician at the count on me. I’m size 8-10 but busty so it’s easy for me to look matronly.
I’m thinking maybe a cropped cashmere cardigan but not sure what colour with green.
I also need shoes and a bag, maybe in cream?
I’ve got black hair and very pale skin if that helps with colour advice! Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I love that colour with pale cream. And I think a cropped cashmere cardi would be great.

I would style it how they have on the website with a pink to match the accent in the dress. Not a blush or nude, but an actual pink.

Agree don't go for a blazer with that dress, would hit at the wrong length, needs to be quite cropped and hit the same length as the waist band so you see the flattering cinch.

The espadrille wedges on the blue colourway photos work really well, not too formal which suits the dress style. Something like this:

This is quite nice as it's got the tailored shape of a jacket, but in a softer knit fabric. Only thing to be wary of is the dress sleeves seem to be quote full which might be awkward under a fitted cover up. Ballet style wrap cardi might also work and nip in your waist

I’ll order that, only size 8 left but I think phase 8 are fairly generous in their sizing
