My daughter's wedding is happening in november (southeast USA),at 2 pm outside in the yard of an antebellum mansion, reception inside--not totally formal but....her dress is strapless, full length, white satin and organza ballgown style but no train, the flowergirl and jr. bridesmaids are tea length white satin and organza. Colors are pale green, white, deep rose. I have a green-aqua dress (closest I could get to the green shade used in the wedding), crepe, slightly below knee length, with sheer jacket with green-aqua color pearls scattered on the jacket. However, several people have told me I MUST wear a more formal dress-full length, more "sparkle." I thought an afternoon wedding, outside would require knee length or "tea" length dress. Am I wrong? Should I wear floor length? Help!!
