Clueless - what would go with this dress?

After much deliberation I've chosen the attached dress to wear to a wedding. Please could anyone suggest what to wear with it jacket wise? The wedding is in October so likely to be cool weather. Many thanks.

I can't see a picture?

There's no picture @Bumblebeefriend .

Yeahs picture would help! Is the wedding all in one venue or a church and move to another venue? I'm going to a wedding in October and don't plan to wear a jacket as it is all in one venue.

Sorry, pic would help!!! The wedding is in a church then reception hotel is approx an hours drive away.

I'd wear it with similar accessories to what they have in the picture TBH.

I'd probably wear a black blazer or wrap coat.

Coat

Something like this if you wanted a warmer coat

Definitely a full length coat - much more elegant than a jacket, which would cut it in half.

Agree coat would look good, but if you wanted a jacket maybe this cropped one?

I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?  https://www.johnlewis.com/mango-botoni-cropped-blazer/black/p6324292?tmad=c&tmcampid=7&sshare=jlappioss_Y29tLmFwcGxlLlVJS2l0LmFjdGl2aXR5LkNvcHlUb1Bhc3RlYm9hcmQ=

I’d definitely go for a belted coat. Black or camel would look nice. Black shoes and maybe some gold statement jewellery? A bangle or cuff and necklace?

(And - I know it’s poor form to object to other people’s taste on S&B - but a black coat? Not shaggy fur, suede, huge silver buttons or a gold collar - just a plain black polyester coat that you might wear to work? I though the point of S&B was to offer original ideas and suggestions that people might not think of themselves.)

If you want to wear it more than entering and exiting, black blazer.

If not, a lovely light trench but try on together as it’s all in the length.

Thank you everyone for the ideas, I hadn't thought of a long coat so that is something to consider. I like the idea of a black blazer too, is black ok for a wedding? I will mull over all the suggestions, thank you.
