I need help....

My husband and I are traveling from NY to London for a wedding next week. What is the appropriate attire? I am used to wearing cocktail gowns (black usually) and longer gowns for weddings in NY. We are in our mid-thirties and friends of the groom.

The wedding will take place at 3:30 at a church followed by a reception at Crix in Terling Chelmsford.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Dear London Wedding,

It is probably best to treat this the same as a wedding in NY. The cocktail dress should be fine.

Best wishes,

I would keep clear of black, and also do not recommend a long dress. Will you wear a hat? You will find most of the women do.

Jill,

Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't planning on wearing a hat... Would a shin-length red sleeveless dress with white flowers be appropriate? I would wear a shawl over it.

Thanks for any input.
