Help my style my dress

Hello everyone

Is anyone able to help me style the linked dress? I’ll be wearing it to a wedding in a couple of weeks time, so very much a winter wedding. I love the dress! It’s comfortable, I can dance in it and it suits my new(ish) mum body.

I originally had my heart set on a different dress but it looked awful on. That dress would have looked amazing with blush pink accessories so I spent quite a lot of time researching those and am now struggling to see beyond that. So, would you stick with blush for this dress or perhaps for dark pink or silver or something else entirely?

For reference, I am 5 foot 8 and a size 12. I’d be looking to buy a bag (I've loved the pouch style recently), shoes, a coat or jacket, jewellery and perhaps something for my hair/head. I don’t want strappy shoes as it will be cold and probably wet!

If anyone can advise it would be much appreciated and bonus points for links to products I can buy! 😁

The green shoes were an inspired choice; shame they don't have your size. I think the silver shoes in the photos are a poor choice, but the Esskas could be good in green or smoke.

The model's earrings work well, referencing the floral motif. These are rather lovely, though perhaps not enough of a statement?

They are all beautiful. Thank you
