What colour coat and accessories do go with bottle green dress?

I have a wedding in a few months up in the Shetlands, so it will be cold. I have a bottle green dress to wear but I know I will need a warm coat, so probably something woollen. I'm not sure what colour to go for? I don't want black as that it just washes me out, so any suggestions would be welcome. Also, what colour shoes and accessories?

It's not faux anything. I'd feel like a fool at a wedding in Shetland in a tartan coat. But it's a wedding, and there's always one.

I can assure you your concern is misplaced. It's insulting to think people in Scotland think the way you seem to think they do.

I'm sorry you're insulted that I wouldn't want to wear a tartan coat to a wedding, but still, I'll leave that to you and Rod Stewart.

Wear whatever you want- just don't try to make out avoiding tartan is because you're so aware of cultural sensitivies, because that's a nonsense reason for not wearing it.

Not a real green dress? That's cruel.

Red, white, gold, bronze, silver.

For a wedding gift, maybe a nice Chesterfield or an ottoman?

@Runningupthecurtains - of COURSE she’d eat Kraft dinner. She’d just have really expensive ketchups. Dijon ketchup.

Can you post a pic of the dress? It sounds lovely

I now need recommendations for lovely skin tone tights? Which I normally hate, but I think would look better than black?

I have a mustard coat I wear with a bottle green dress.
