Spryte Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 (edited) Still haven’t decided, wedding is this weekend. Ugh. Wedding is at an old, country inn. Cocktail attire. 4:00 ceremony, reception after. I have a few options, none perfect. I would prefer to wear this one with a black lightweight cropped cardi/shrug: But is the black base and black shrug too dark? I could go grab a white one, those are in stock locally, but I’m meh on white to a wedding. My other options feel less appropriate: a soft surroundings pastel blue and white dress that I adore and feel great in — but it’s cotton, a bit longer. Think perfect for a walk on the beach, but could be stretch for cocktail attire. I would wear a blue shrug to dress it up, and not take that off. It would be perfect for day time but I’m iffy on evening. I can’t seem to link it, but similar: The black version of that outfit worked well at a funeral recently, so it’s dressy but I’m not sure if it hits cocktail attire. I can try to find a link. Also, a pastel blue knit wrap dress from soft surroundings. Iffy on that one for evening, too: Help a girl out?

Katy Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The floral makes the black funeral-inappropriate and therefore perfect for a spring wedding. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcadia Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 The black flowery dress looks very chirpy. Don’t think its too dark even if you pair it with a black cardigan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I think the first one is perfect. We just attended a wedding and so many people work black, none look like funeral attire. I think some of the rules about what to wear are going away, just show up looking decent and you are good. (Ie: No cropped tank tops showing your stomach at a funeral and no ball cap during a wedding, both of which I have seen recently.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercyA Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 I'm late to the party, but the dress is perfect. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
