The link and the pic Astrid posted are the same.

I'd say maybe a vivid blue (cobalt? cerulean?) all the way to aqua would work for a topper.

Oh, I agree with Word Lily. Vivid blue or aqua would be lovely if those colors work for you. Definitely consider the cobalt for shoes and/or a clutch. If this is a summer wedding, maybe consider a pretty wrap or shawl?

Thankyou very much! Yes I think that would work, do you think a necklace or any other accessories?

The dress is the star of this show, so no necklace needed. Earrings or a bracelet is all I would do, and I would keep those simple. But that's just me. I'm interested in reading what other people think. That's such a pretty dress!

That's a lovely dress, Sophie. I too love the idea of cobalt or a bright blue as a topper and for the footwear/bag. Metallic (I'm thinking silver) shoes and bag would also work with a cobalt cardigan or wrap.
With the higher neckline of the frock, I would leave off the necklace too, and just do a bracelet and/or earrings.

Have a wonderful time at the wedding.

I don't know your colouring, but would go nude shoes if you are blonde. Perhaps with a lemon, pale blue or off white wrap or dressy cropped jacket. If you are brunette, I would pick up on the nude or the light or cobalt blue, depending on which colour you prefer. i can't imagine you would have bought these colours if you are red headed.
Add bracelet and/or earrings and leave out the necklace.
The dress is very pretty and you should look gorgeous.
