I don't really have any dressy clothes and most weddings I have been to are the early in the day/cake/punch kind of thing. This is a wedding at 6pm and a buffet dinner type reception after. As far as I know, everything will be indoor. I'm going shopping tonight - what do I need to be looking for?
We have a 6 p.m. wedding in July to go to. I'm planning on getting a maxi dress with a shrug (in case the AC is working well, and to hide my bingo wings).
Church wedding - I don't know the denomination other than not Catholic. It's for a coworker of my husband's so I don't know the couple (or anyone else who will be there) either.
tiger, I think that is a good way to think of it. Unless I knew that it was going to be a formal reception, I would go with an "Easter Sunday" kind of dress if that makes sense.
II don't know about gma's dress but that way cool aunt...I would follow her lead.savvy and stylish. Chic without pretention. Minimum two steps above sundress level unless you pair a brand spanking new one with a tailored jacket for in the church and remove at reception.
Where do you live? Because where I live a 6 o'clock wedding means ****tail dress at a minimum. A flowery flowy dress is definitely something I would only do if it was a park thing, not n evenin gindoor wedding. But then again maybe my area is more formal, because I have never been to a buffet wedding either. They are all sit-down dinners.
Live in Georgia - pretty much every wedding I've attended has been between 11-2 and has cake & punch after (no meal). So nice-ish dress/pants/shirt is good enough. Found out groom doesn't know if it's buffet or sit-down.
