What jacket with this dress

I've bought this dress for a wedding in two weeks. The whole day is in a wedding venue, so we probably won't be outside for any length of time but I'd like a jacket in case. I do not have a large budget at all - maybe £75?

I was thinking maybe a short fur jacket or a cropped blazer in one of the browns in the dress. I'm open to suggestions. What would you go for?

I'm wearing tan suede pointed flats and I've got a dull gold suedish clutch bag.

Quite honestly I wouldn't bother with a jacket bought especially to go with that dress. You are unlikely to go outside and if you have to for any reason surely you can just put on whatever coat/jacket you have already.

The dress has wide fluted sleeves, so you’d need a jacket with wide sleeves to go over it - otherwise the dress sleeves will bunch up, be uncomfortable and get creased. I probably wouldn’t bother and would take a pashmina/wrap just in case of absolute chilly emergency!

I think short fur would work and you'll get one on Vinted for not much money.

Thanks for your replies. I haven't been to a wedding for ages. Do pashminas look right or are they a thing of the past?
