Long or Short Dress for Morning Ceremony

Kathy, on May 30, 2019 at 1:00 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
My daughter has an 11am wedding. I have a beautiful lace floor length gown for the reception. I was told to get a short dress for the ceremony since it's so early. It is outdoors in gardens. My husband will be in a tux all day. The groom's mother got a short polka dot dress for the ceremony. Not sure what to do.

    I don't see any issue with wearing a floor-length for the ceremony! It's not that big of a deal Smiley smile

    Who told you to get a short dress? Unless your daughter specifically asked you to get a short dress for the ceremony, I would stick with your lace gown. It sounds lovely. Smiley smile

    Thank You! My daughter doesn't seem to care but the groom's mother thought it more appropriate to have a short dress for the daytime. Wedding is 2 weeks away and I'm not sure I want to be changing in the middle of the day. So much will be going on, especially with all the pictures. I remember my mother wore a short dress to the church when I got married and a long gown to the reception. Was wondering if that was still protocol. LOL! So much has changed through the years. Smiley smile

    Wear the dress you want! You can get away with a shorter dress because it's a morning wedding, but a long dress is absolutely fine.

    Typically it's do what the bride says 😉
    But also mother of the bride typically picks her own and mother of the grooms outfit, so where I live the mother of the groom telling you to go short is super rude.
    Personally I think the lace gown sounds lovely

    Hi Kathy!! Have you decided what you will do about your dress? Are you going to wear your floor-length dress all day, or are you considering getting a short one for the ceremony?
