WWYW Wedding edition
My brother is getting married in three weeks in a mid-sized city in the midwest. The wedding and reception are on a Friday night in a gorgeous art deco style museum, and the catering is "breakfast for dinner". The guys are wearing tuxes and the girls are wearing periwinkle dresses, but I don't know if they're long or short. I grew up on the east coast and I feel like I'm getting mixed signals on the formality, so I have no idea what I should wear. I'll be in pictures too, so I think I'd rather err on the side of overdressing rather than under. Please help!
Re: WWYW Wedding edition
I don't think you can go wrong with a chic, fun cocktail dress. Something like this. Macys usually has a large supply of these.

is the reception at night? b/c just on the fact it is your brother and bridal party is wearing a tux i would go cocktail dress.
(random aside) DH's SIL got married on the beach at the Ritz in St Thomas...she wanted a beach wedding but groom wore a tux and she had a fancy dress. DH didn't wear a tie (just a jacket) and it looked odd in photos.)
Has it really been so long since we were brides? I'm surprised at the 'ask the bride' responses. I remember so many brides venting that they were tired of people asking them logistical questions. Just an observation
Anyway, if there will be tuxes, you won't be overdressed in a cocktail dress. I'd do a color (not black, and obviously not periwinkle) and strappy silver or beige sandals. Other than that, you can't go wrong!
Stand up for something you believe in.
i didn't mind questions like that because we didn't specify attire and i think maybe three people asked. i did mind people calling the week of our wedding to ask if we could "cancel" the plate for the guest they rsvp-ed for. one of those people was my best man. i basically told him to find a date because i had to pay either way :P
