Which is more appropriate

Veronica, on March 14, 2020 at 12:05 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5

My husband is in a wedding in October. The wedding is in San Diego, CA. He will be wearing a tux. The couple suggested evening gowns or cocktail dresses. The wedding is at 2 pm. I feel like a gown for an afternoon wedding is too formal, but with my husband in a tux I'm not sure a cocktail dress is formal enough. No matter what I select to wear I will have to buy a dress. Any recommendations on what would be better suited? Their invitation was pretty much a post card with their wedding website on it that says to rsvp online so that doesn't seem very formal to me.

    Wear a cocktail dress. I had my husband and his groomsmen in tuxes for our 2pm wedding, though we did have an evening reception. We told guests who asked to wear cocktail attire.

    My husband and his groomsmen wore tuxes for our 12pm wedding. Their attire was way more “formal” than the vibe of our wedding but they all really wanted to wear tuxes. My husband’s logic was “if my own wedding isn’t the time for me to wear a tux, when is?” Lol. His best man felt the same way except sub in “my best friend’s wedding” instead of “my” :p


    We told the rest of our guests to wear cocktail attire though! I feel like that’s probably what most people will do.

    I’d go with the cocktail dress! There are one that lol a little more fancy and they can be dressed up with jewelry. I think It’s common to wear a cocktail dress even if the guy is in a tux. And considering the time and city, I’d go with the cocktail
