I am having my wedding at 1 pm with a buffet light lunch at a ballroom at a nice hotel. I have been looking at strapless dresses with decorated bodices (beading, crystals, etc) but read somewhere that decorated dresses like this should be avoided for daytime weddings. I am getting conflicting advice. Any suggestions??

Dear Wedding Guest,
Even though this will take place at a very nice location, I doubt that a guest would need to dress this formally. The attire you describe is formal evening attire. It is best to stick with something a bit more conservative, something you would feel comfortable wearing to the nicest restaurant during the day.

I was referring to my dress when I was describing the bodice of the dress. I am not expecting the guests to dress formal. Sorry if I was confusing! I was just making sure that my wedding dress wasn't too formal. Everyone tells me that a wedding dress can't be too formal as long as it is not outside or at the beach. But I read in a magazine that wedding dresses for daytime weddings should be kept pretty plain with no glitter, beading, etc.
Thanks

The same answer would apply to a wedding dress. Beading is considered very formal and, since this is a daytime wedding, your dress should be less formal. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

I'm sorry. I completely misread your post and thought you were a guest. Silly me.
