STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

 

i would do an above the knee dress in chiffon.  possibly brown with gold accessories for accents.  if you don't have brown (it just screams fall wedding color to me), any jewel tone with gold or silver accents. 

i will be attending an early fall wedding that starts at 2:30p so it made me think twice about what to wear as well. i'm leaning toward this dress (which is similar to what shopgirl82 just described as far as length, material, color). it's sparkly around the waist only so i can wear a jacket or wrap in church and then take it off for cocktails which are at 5p. i am very sure that appropriate attire for a wedding is a bit different in atlanta than where i am, but i really have seen it all at weddings recently. just use your good taste and judgment and you'll look great.

A few weeks ago I went to a 4:30 wedding in Connecticut. The actual ceremony was in a church and the reception was in a really nice hotel. I wore a halter dress that hit just below my knee. The dress was a really light turquoise chiffon fabric with an Indian inspired pattern that had golds and reds in it. I wore gold/bronze heels and bronze earrings. I guess I would describe the dress as a very dressy sundress and I felt very comfortable with what I was wearing, not too dressy but not too casual (my dress was about as dressy as the dress posted above). As at most weddings, the guests were wearing a wide rage of outfits from long black gowns (which I thought was a little too much) to a skirt and top and sundresses. I really think you'll be fine whatever you wear but I was definitely comfortable in my outfit.
