What to wear to a backyard wedding?
My dad is getting married June 14 in his backyard. It's on a lake and is pretty, but it's still a backyard. I have no idea what to wear. It's going to be casual, but I will be the daughter of the groom, so I feel like I should dress up for the occassion.
I'll probably wear wedge sandals as my shoes, but what kind of dress would be appropriate here? A cute cotton sundress or something nicer? Any ideas would be great, but Im looking for something under $100.
TIA 
Re: What to wear to a backyard wedding?
I think a sundress would be nice, but I wouldn't go too casual. Like you said, you are the daughter of the groom. Plus, regardless of location, it's still a wedding. Also from Piperlime:
DH and I did a backyard reception with an outdoor wedding at our place. I agree with PP's suggestions. Most people wore cotton sundresses with nice sandals. I'd try to stick with a natural fabric to keep from being too hot. I like J.Crew's Beach Dress. It can be dressed up or down with accessories and looks great in person. It's $108, but I'm sure there's a J.Crew code floating around somewhere to get it for less. It will probably go down before June too. Also, if it's a daytime wedding you won't have to worry about tan lines from straps.
I had a backyard wedding, and my friends wore sundresses and maxi dresses. Guys work khaki's and polo shirts.
Congrats to your dad!
PPs have given good advice. I just wanted to add that a pair of radish earrings (dirigible plums to be precise) would look ravishing with any outfit.
I would vote for something like this! It's cute, summery, and colorful!

I LOVE the fourth dress! So cute...heading to piperlime to check it out. I would definitely wear that to a summer wedding.
I also second a pp about Lilly Pulitzer but it will be tough to find something under $100 unless its on sale.
