MJN Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) I've never been to a late afternoon/early evening wedding before. It's inside at a church in Durham. There will be a sit down reception dinner afterwards at a restaurant. Should my dh and son wear suits or would navy blue jackets/khakis/ties be alright? Thanks, Molly Edited January 15, 2010 by MJN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Where in NC? Geography matters a lot in a state with beaches and mountains. :D Is it indoors or outdoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I have a sleeveless dark navy blue sheath dress I'd wear with my ooo, la, la gold sandals and a pashima in a pretty color. Since it's a spring date, you could wear any spring like dress. Late afternoon/early evening means it's more to the casual than formal side. I like a shawl or a cute jacket because I get cold in the church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 How about: this or this or this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jananc Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) May 1st will probably be quite warm in NC -- Durham is in central NC so no cool mountain air or ocean breezes :-) Your dh and boys would be fine in khakis and a jacket. You'll probably be fine in a spring dress with maybe a need for a wrap inside with the air conditioning or for the evening air. have fun! ETA oops -- sorry! didn't realize you're actually *from* NC! you know what it's like temperature wise! so just read the comments re: your boys -- we went to a nice afternoon wedding in Asheboro recently and the adult men were in navy sportcoat and ties, the teen boys were in dress shirts & pants -- some with ties & coats, some without.

PeterPan Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well I don't think the bride will notice, either way. ;) I'd probably put the boys in suits, just to be on the safe side. What fits the restaurant? And of course, for yourself, the best option is always to do what someone did at my wedding and wear a white dress. It wouldn't have been so bad if she hadn't been prettier than me. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Boys in coats and khakis are fine. Saturday, late afternoon doesn't call for formal wear. I do agree with a previous poster about the temperature - take a coordinating wrap just in case! HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
