So, my fiancé and are planning our June 2021 wedding, and will be having our ceremony in the woods at an outdoor chapel at the camp I grew up at, mid to late afternoon. The reception is planned to be indoors at a separate reception venue. The struggle I'm running into is getting my mom and grandma to understand my vision. Being outside, it won't be a formal event, but they seem to think people will show up in jeans, and it seems like they cannot get past it being outdoors. We plan to have a wedding website with a section dedicated to attire where we will explain that heels are not a smart decision, but also that the attire will (likely) be either cocktail or semi-formal. I've seen examples where folks literally spell out attire suggestions. My bridesmaids will be in long dresses with a slit and flats (I hate short dresses on bridesmaids) and my FOH and his groomsmen will be in suits. All of this explained, they are still extremely skeptical. I guess my question is if I'm being overzealous, or? Obviously I cannot control what our guests show up in, but hopefully the website will inform them. I don't think cocktail/semi-formal attire is too dressy for an outside ceremony/inside reception. Am I missing something?
