I have 2 weddings to attend, both are 6pm weddings with reception to follow. The first (Feb) is a family wedding, to be held at a Methodist church with reception to follow at a COuntry Club. MOB has said she is wearing a part sequence dress and that it is a formal event. However, invitation did not state black tie. Wedding party is wearing tuxs. I was thinking about a long black satin dress that has thin small beaded straps. The front drops about 3'' below my collarbone and the back drops between my shoulder blades. I will be adding a ivory or white marabou wrap with a satin bow (this is not a boa, but an actual wrap). Is this too provocative? Too formal?
The next (Sept) is a very good friend, and will be held in a Catholic church, reception to follow at a classy hotel with dinner served. The bride is wearing a courture gown, and the groom is wearing his military dress blue uniform. The Marine sword ceremony will also be performed. Any suggestions on attire?
By the way, I am early 30's and attending with my husband. He is wearing a very nice dark charcol gray JNY suit.
