To describe it.. it's knee length, white with a green and black floral pattern. The only other time I've worn it was out to dinner in Italy.
Another dress I'm considering is this beautiful red one that I bought in Florence, Italy and have never worn. But I feel like wearing red to anything wedding-related isn't appropriate.

In the hardcore South, black, red, and white can all be eyebrow raisers at a wedding. The only * to that is if the wedding party is also wearing black or red. The sports coat does add to the causal attitude, though. Whichever you decide to go with, definitely have a wrap over your shoulders for the church portion - no matter how hot or cold it is (even though it's supposed to be fairly cool this weekend).
The dress you described does sound lovely, but unless you have a green cardigan, I'm not so sure it's the statement you wish to make.
