need help deciding on dress

Options
I see so much that I like and have decide on THE dress 3 times.I thought that if I gave a little description of myself and rough body shape some of you who perhaps have finished planning your own wedding would have time to help me with ideas for my dress.
I am only 5ft 8 but will wear a heel for the wedding so not exactly tall,my measurments will go down to a 12 before the wedding but are always a perfect (or not so perfect )hourglass shape,currently 46 36 46.I am big boned even when skinny so broad shoulders and hips and big bust.
I have figured out I think that either a classic princess cut skirt shape with chapel train or fishtail style suits me best.Top part needs to be corset or square neck and I need 3/4 or long sleeves,possible bell sleeves,maybe a bolero or coat instead but I dont like bare arms and it will be November so chilly.
Venue is a scottish castle decorated in an eclectic mix of antiques and tartan or rich red upholstery.I need the dress not only to look right on me but suit the venue too.
Heres the really tricky part.My chosen wedding colour is purple,rich royal purple.I have been searching for a purple dress but so far have found a tartan one with purple inderskirt I like,a rich red shot velvet one and a white one with brocade bodice.
I am struggling to decide on something which suits and also find it difficult to get something a little bit different without it looking like a fancy dress costume.
Any links appreciated.
My wow dress,love the colour and her style,actually I loved her whole wedding, is the purple dress of dita von teese but my budget needs to be tiny.
Hubby 2b has chosen outfit fron dark angel,a black brocade longline jacket and he is having a custom high collared waistcoat made in a purple brocade with either silver or black.Just to give you an idea of what I will be standing next to as it will influence my dress choice too.
