Want a Hippie Vibe from a Non-Hippie Dress

I’m unsure about accessories and like crowd sourcing!

Some background—my fashion sense (if you could even call it that) is generally colorful, eclectic, and has a mildly hippie vibe. I hike a lot, have a nose stud, and don’t comb my hair in the morning, but coworkers in my office job think it’s stylishly "tousled." For my wedding, I plan on wearing makeup and having my hair styled, but I also want to be “me,” and not formal or polished. I’m not super great at envisioning things, and don’t know if my current plan is a dud. 

I have the Maggie Sottero Elka dress, which, in retrospect is a little more beaded/lacy than I had planned on. 


I can’t change the dress (and I do like it), but I’m wondering if I can wear the following or if it would just seem disjointed:

I need to wear flats. I’ve been thinking gold something (all my jewelry is gold and I like it more than other metals), but then wondered if these leather sandals would work-


 

I know I want a flower crown and bought this with green “berries”. I also plan on wearing a fingertip veil (my hair will be up somehow).


 

And I love this leather strap bracelet.


 I don't have them yet, but I was just thinking pearly/diamondy stud earrings, and I'd also like to wear a plastic/chrystal-looking necklace wrapped around my other wrist as a bracelet (it was my grandmother's and I went into dress shopping solely for a dress it would work with... then bought one that doesn't work with a necklace!)

The wedding is in a church, the reception is in kind of an "urban loft," and the fiance is wearing his Navy officer uniform (the white one). 

Do you think this is something that can be pulled off, or should I try to veer more formal and less eclectic? Any ideas/input appreciated!
