ok for semi formal / formal?

was told formal by partner but i think it’s more the “dressing up” formal and less the “floor length gown” formal - first wedding i’ve ever been to 😩

Late-September wedding at country club

I’m really struggling to find a dress I like for a formal DC wedding late this month. Does this fit the bill? Seems maybe a bit semi-formal. Was going to get some statement earrings, clutch, and nice shoes too. TIA!

Early October Wedding

I have a wedding for a college friend in Minneapolis in October. The dress code said “black tie” but when I asked the groom he said it’s more just so his family doesn’t wear jeans. He said the girls standing in the wedding are wearing “Cabernet” color - mix of dresses and suits from what I can tell. I asked two other female attendees what they plan to wear - one is wearing a formal dark green pantsuit and the other is wearing a long tiered lace burgundy dress. I’d like to reuse this dress from a past bridesmaid stint… is this appropriate? Too Christmas-y for October?

What shoes/accessories would you pair with this dress?

I’m wearing this to a summer wedding near the beach. Any suggestions on what accessories, shoes or hairstyles would pair nicely? 🎀💎🍓

Sept. WA mountain wedding. Semi formal. Does this work?

Tuxedo dress?

This suits my personal style much more than a sparkly long gown, and I know I will get multiple wears out of it. I plan on wearing a black slip underneath, so the sides will not be exposed skin. My concerns are: - Length. The model is 9” taller than me, but it falls just above the knee on me. - White lapels. Is that permitted? Thoughts please? Thanks!

How to style/accessorize this gown for my sister’s wedding this weekend!

I’m doing a reading and making a toast for my baby sister’s wedding this coming Saturday. I’ll be escorted in by my husband after the mother of the groom, my mom is giving my sister away, and hubby and I helped raise my sister, so she’s treating us as her extra parents, we’re part of the wedding party in that regard- and more dressed up than a regular guest, if that makes sense, lol. Anyway, I’m wearing this fishtail gown and I can’t decide on shoes/jewelry/bag. I was thinking gold jewelry, so would a gold bag and shoes be too much? The wedding is at a fancy farm, lol. It’s inside and outside. They don’t have a dress code, but I would say it’s formal, not black tie though. The dress comes with a black belt that is worn under the bust, not at the waist. I don’t have to wear it, but I kind of like it. My daughter and sister said I could maybe get a different belt to match my accessories if I wanted, so that could be an option, too. I also need a shawl for the night portion- ceremony is at 4:30, wedding ends at midnight. I’m terrible with styling myself- please help! Gown is pictured- it’s a Norma Kamali fishtail gown. In black.

Is this appropriate for a (nice) backyard reception?

I’m trying to decide it this will work. I’m mid-30s. The dress code in the email invite says “cocktail or semi-formal”. It’s a 4-10pm backyard wedding reception (no ceremony) in early September. It may be a bit fancier than the usual backyard reception - it’s a beautiful location and there will be a DJ, dance floor, and open bar. Temperature still start in the mid-80s and drop to high-70s by 10pm (and be very, very humid). I will probably wear black flats because it’s hard to wear heels on grass. I would usually not wear thin straps like this, but I feel like it might be okay in this situation. What do do we think?

Is this too much cleavage for a wedding?

I will be attending an October wedding that’s more on the cocktail/casual side. I have a bigger chest, so any type of cut on the chest usually makes it look raunchy - even if the dress isn’t. Does the picture below show too much?

Cocktail/ Semi-Formal October KC MO

Trying to style similar to my husband with outfit. Invite says “Normal Wedding Dress or cocktail/semi-formal”. Wedding venue google pics review is highly variable styles. Not close enough to bride/groom to ask. I’m solidly plus sized and looking for something that will be comfortable with my body type. Blue/yellow/cream is the preferred color scheme and I’m only seeing limited options seem available. Dress is from ASOS.

Dress code help

Please help, invite says “dressy casual/ semi formal” website says “Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.” This seems like 3 different dress codes to me?? Wedding is in alabama in November Does this work? I think the material might be too casual
