weddign guest outfit - help :-)

So I have been bumped up - from being an evening guest to a full daytime guest at a wedding next friday. Chuffed but now having outfit panic :rolleyes:
Now I was going to 'recycle' a black knee length bridesmaid dress - would have been fine for evening party however think it is totally wrong for the daytime ......... so I have another soft pink dress that is more summer-wedding-y (in fact this is what it was purchased for a few years back).
But I only seem to own black shoes.
What colour shoes would you wear with this?
Also being 6ft1, my feet a whopping size 9 :eek: and I either struggle to find size9 or can only get shoes in black or brown.
The only 'wraps' I own are bright red or purple. Neither go with soft pink.
I can't remember what accessories I wore with this flipping dress last time!
So basically help - where can I get white/pale pink wrap, shoes, bag/clutch purse, hair flower/feathery thing .............
ETS - wedding being held in v.posh hotel and I need MSE accessories

Ebay!!!
How about this to start with...

Black 'strappy' shoes would probably go with the pink dress!!:rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:0

For the hair flower - how about a real one from a florist bought on the morning of the wedding. I had a beautiful deep red rose - which they taped up and stuck something strong in - so it easily stuck into my hair. It was £1.50 and doesn't last but is much cheaper than the fake versions in accessorise. Lots of people commented on how nice it looked.0

Ooh my friend had a similar dress pickle and bought a little cream/white bolero cardie to wear over the dress for the ceremony and then took it off for the evening. Perfect!0
