Please Help!! What to wear as a guest to an early morning October wedding if husband is best man??

Mandy, on October 6, 2011 at 11:23 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 9

Okay, so my husband is the best man in our best friend's wedding and will be in a tux. Wedding is in church at 10:30am in MD followed by a 12:00 reception at a really nice restaurant - I think they have some sort of big room for receptions. The bridesmaids are wearing floor-length deep purple/blue dresses, which makes me feel like the whole affair is a bit more formal.. I had gotten dress #1 a while ago knowing that I would be headed to a few fall weddings and was so excited to wear it to this event, but now since the wedding is in the a.m. I'm not sure. It's definitely a satin cocktail dress, but isn't overly shiny..

So.. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the dresses in the pictures! I'm really stumped because I want to look nice next to DH, but I don't want to be over-dressed either.

Thoughts on the material?.. too shiny? too heavy? too light? color? accessories/shoes? And since it might be chilly, cardigans? (For record, I'm 25, 5'4" size 0/2) Thanks soo much!

    I like number 5 with a cardigan, but you might want to double check on formal it will be so you're not under dressed!

    Number 3 is really cute! The length concerns me a little though.

    @ Tach - I'm shorter than the model, so it's longer on me.. I think it's an appropriate length. Do you think I could get away with #3? the material is silk

    I was a little concerned that 5 was too slim fitting for a morning event

    Oh yeah if it's a little longer than the model than 3 will be perfect! And maybe you can wear a brown cardigan or something like that?

    I think 2 & 3 are the best. I think 2 is the "dressiest" looking one out of the bunch.

    1, 4, & 5 are nice dresses but I like ^those two better.

    6 & 7 look incredibly too casual, I would nix them.
