Help me style out this dress for my wedding

Hello all,

I'm getting married in July. It's pretty low key and mainly an outdoors affair in my PIL garden. I've ordered this dress in the red and due to my height (5'11) expect it the hit closer to a tea dress length (willing to have it take up an inch or two if needed). Help me style this out to an old hollywood glamour type thing! I'm hoping to wear flats unsure on veil/jewellery/gloves etc.

I live in the Highlands and it's unlikely to be much above 25 at a push but we do get very hot clammy weather sometimes. If you don't feel the heat then your beautiful dress will be just fine.

I'd you did want something else then these are very pretty
The first one is very elfen
