Floral Ribbon

What would you accessorize a black dress with for a wedding?
I am going to a wedding in Feb next year and there will definately be snow or slush on the ground as I live in Finland.
I have the black ribbon dress from Monsoon which has a corset and a full 50s style calf length net skirt with a floral ribbon design all over. It has loops on the waist to add a ribbon belt. As it will be cold I also have a nice Laura Ashley back wool coat to wear outside and it has flecks in the wool which sparkle and catch the light.
I still need to get shoes, jewellery, tights and a shrug or a bolero as I want to cover up a bit at the reception but I don’t want to wear all black as I am going to a wedding not a funeral! Any suggestions please?
p.s. I did read some place you shouldn’t team black with colour as it makes the colour look brighter but I love colours like teal and peacock blue though… I would like to keep the outfit 50s style as well right down to the shoes but am thinking peep toes might not be wise in the snow

well firstly i think that your dress sounds lovely, you are right about not putting colour with black – it is because black is very classy to wear but colours cheapen it. as for peep-toe heels – well i don’t think they look good when the lady is wearing tights so i suggest a closed-toe shoe instead. i have created an outfit for you (dress and coat are obviously not the real items you have but they are there as an example): http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=1603056
