Is this appropriate for a lunch wedding?

Thanks in advance!

Is this black tie appropriate? It checks off the boxes of floor length and dark but I'm hesitant because of the sequins and I've never been to a black tie event. TIA!

2nd attempt: Black tie for October wedding

The dress I picked as a guest to a Semi-formal,vaguely fairy core/ art nouveau-themed wedding

Dearest outfit advisors, As the caption implies, I chose this dress via a late-night decision in an attempt to find something fey-realm and fanciful but reception-friendly. We have been instructed that dress code is “ wear what makes you happy- wear whatever you like ”, but I have a deep rooted fear of being “too much” at someone else’s occasion. The couple to wed is rooted in what some could classify as “cottagecore”. The embroidery in the dress reflects more green in the photos reviewers have left. The frame of the dress also appears to lay more flat with assistance from a petticoat, a choice on an August day that I will refrain from. The venue is at a nicer cabin/lodge in the mountains/forest. I am 5’9”, 155lb, olive complexion with black hair past my shoulders. I normally dress in a modern-ren-meets-corporate aesthetic and wanted to highlight my personal style but haven’t been to a wedding in years. I appreciate your insight!

DC: Formal/black tie optional

In November, in Richmond. Difficulty level: because of some disability issues, I need something comfortable, with sleeves, that I can wear with flats.

Is a Loud color + longer dress okay for a Nov cocktail attire wedding?

My wonderful partner will be officiating a wedding for a couple who we are great friends with. I got this dress a few months back and a sample sale and was planning on wearing it to their wedding. I’m a bit worried the color is too summery (not sure how much this matters, no color palette given). We received the dress code recently and it was listed as ‘cocktail’ attire with a link to nordstroms guide on cocktail attire for a wedding.

Mid/Late March Evening wedding inside: Cocktail

Dress code is cocktail. I love it bc it has pockets. Too informal?

second try for semi formal “colorful and classy”

based on feedback from this sub i went out and (somewhat frantically) shopped for a different dress for a wedding i’m attending this weekend, and i’m so glad i did because i found this gorgeous dress and fell in love! it was the only one of this style in the store and happened to be in my size, so it was meant to be! can’t wait to wear it!!

What style/color shoes

What color and style of shoes would go with this dress? September, formal wedding.

Update: I went with the green dress!

In my last post, y’all were 50/50 about whether my green dress was too casual for a garden party wedding, and let me tell you: it was perfect! After a year with a new baby and being a first time mom, it was really nice to dress up the family and we fit in perfectly with the other guests’ attire.

Dress code is semi formal/ cocktail. Does this work? Indoors in a month
