does this work good a separate blazer, or does it look like an orphaned suit jacket?
Frankly, while it poses additional challenges, I'm of the opinion nearly any 'orphaned' suit jacket can be made to work reasonably easily, it just has to be done with some intentionality. Navy suit-separate jacket with grey flannel trousers is one of the most common and classic looks around, and it's not because it doesn't work.
On a separate note, those trousers aren't puddling, they're practically forming a lake

French cuffs inside suit jacket -- too bulgy?
1. There isn't really too much of a difference in looks in a french-cuff and barrel-cuff shirt in themselves; any difference in looks would derive from the cufflink being worn. If you have some really sexy cufflinks, there's a big difference. Likewise if you have some really shitty cufflinks, there's a big difference. On a day-to-day basis, if the cufflinks aren't particularly good or bad, I wouldn't say there's very much difference in the looks aspect.
2. Those cuffs are indeed too large - a bit smaller and they'd still be too large from a sartorial standpoint but perfectly OK from a 'no one is going to notice standpoint'
3. If it makes you feel more comfortable, sure. It's more 'rakish' than 'casual' imo, so it's not a huge deal if you do so at your wedding. It is a deliberate choice that creates a certain image, if noticed. But it's objectively not a big deal.
4. If it's my wedding, I'd try to wear a french cuff shirt - the same for going to someone else's. But I don't think its a very important thing in the overall dress element, particularly if its a daytime wedding (as I imagine it is, considering you've chosen not to wear a tuxedo?)
Are you in the UK? I'm US/UK based and french cuffs aren't really nearly as much of a thing in the US as they are in the UK. I think that outside of some specific countries, you could totally go ahead with barrel cuffs with no one noticing the difference. And even in the UK, the vast majority of men are not particularly obsessed with this distinction.
On a side note, this is an example speaking to the failings of Indochino - they're actually just not very knowledgeable about clothing, at all levels of production and including the sales reps in-store (in my experience, anyway). That cuff should never have been made with those dimensions.
