Question
I am attending an early April wedding at 3pm with cocktails at 5pm then reception following. What type of dress is appropriate? Thanks
Hi Elaine:
Because of the time of day, I am assuming this is not a formal affair and therefore would not require a formal cocktail dress. That being said, a nice suit or dress would be appropriate unless it is a very causal wedding and then I would refrain from wearing a suit.
I would stay away from black for an afternoon wedding even though the reception is in the evening.
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
Warm regards,
Wendy Wuitschick
