Please help me decide - I've left it all too late

I'm travelling to a wedding on Friday. I've been hiding my head in the sand about it for various reasons and had decided to wear something I wore to a wedding last year. However, DH thinks the jacket looks cheap and I think I agree with him. Also the shoes are suede and it's likely to rain on the day of the wedding.

So I decided to wear a dark blue dress and boots I have already and buy a coat to go over.

I ordered 3 and the only one I like is too short. DH likes all three.

Shoes are really difficult for me as I'm awaiting foot surgery so I'm stuck with what I have.

I'm attaching pictures of the teal maxi dress and jacket I wore last year and the new coat with the hem of the blue dress showing.

The links are to the other two new coats. I also have a maxi black Superdry puffer like the one in the screenshot but with a detachable fir collar. This is longer than the blue dress but DH says it's not weddingy.

Wedding is in a London town hall in the morning. Bride is fine with me wearing black.

Please be gentle with me. I don't feel good about any of it.

Echoing what many others have said; the teal dress looks great on you! Enjoy the wedding!

Another vote for the teal dress and fur jacket - it looks fab.

A big NO to the puffer! The black fur coat is too much I think - & with the shoes I'm afraid it's all a bit Rosa Klebb!

Like others have said, though, the teal floral maxi dress looks perfectly nice. And the tan flats will be pretty much covered up? I agree with @RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie that the bolero shape of the jacket wouldn't be my choice. Also, it looks as if it doesn't quite fit over your boobs - although that could simply be the shape. But a more luxurious short fake fur would look just fine. Maybe order more than just the M&S one though, so that you have a choice if the M&S one is too lightweight?

The whole outfit from last year looks great. Not sure you need a new jacket?
