cocktail dress too dressy for late afternoon wedding?
My cousin's wedding is this January at 2:00 PM at a church in Seattle, reception at a nearby university. The invitation does'nt state dress code so I am clueless on what to wear. The invitation itself was a postcard, and my cousin and her fiance are outdoorsy, casual people so this is definitely not a black tie event. However, I would like to think that the wedding is not going to be completely casual as it is at a church, and the reception will go into the evening.
If this is a casual wedding I am sad because I love getting dressed up, and I am wondering if the cocktail dress I picked is too much. I fell in love with a knee length purple strapless satin dress that has some nice gathering at the waist and an attached silver brooch. I will accessorize with a wrap/coverup for the church and silver high heels and clutch and minmal jewlery, since dress has a brooch. Is the dress to dressy? If I can get away with this dress should I tone it down by going with black shoes/ bag
Your dress sounds beautiful, but I'm afraid your outfit is a little too dressy for their wedding. I say you can still wear the dress. Just dress it down with a black fitted velvet jacket, and black shoes and bag. That way, you can still wear your gorgeous dress, but not look like you're outshining the bride.
