I need some advice on what to wear to my daughter's wedding. She is having an outdoor wedding, 2 pm.?

The wedding will be in November (southeast USA). The site is the yard basically of an antebellum mansion; the reception is inside the mansion. Her dress is strapless organza over satin, beading on the bodice, full ballgown type skirt (again organza over satin with satin border and beading on the bottom on the skirt). She is wearing a diamond-look headpiece with fingertip length veil. The flower girl/jr. bridesmaids are in white organza over satin tea-length dresses. I have two choices of dresses and am undecided. Dress #1 is sea-green-aqua crepe, round neck sleeveless 2 rufflely (sp?) kind of swingy bottom (slightly below knee length) with a sheer matching jacket with sea-green-aqua pearls scattered all over the jacket (probably wearing silver shoes) or perhaps the dress without the jacket (kind of matronly looking) and just a pretty organza shawl. Dress #2 is champagne color, floor length, slightly off the shoulder short sleeves, fitted bodice (slightly below waist) with beads.

The champagne dress sounds timeless. Always go with classic %26amp; timeless. It will work anywhere. The green one sounds too poufy and the color is too much.
Reply:Ask your daughter. Some girls might be bothered by their mother wearing white/off-white gown. When I got married I had a brocade gown with very short train full skirt and my mother had a full length brocade suit (found it in the wedding dress section) and it looked great in the pictures. I personally would vote for the champagne dress, sounds very classy.
Reply:Since the attendants are wearing tea length, you could wear the shorter dress. Also, an afternoon wedding is not as formal as an evening one.

The seagreen will probably photograph better. Bring the jacket. If it is a bit matronly looking, take it to a tailor, and get it fitted.

Silver shoes - OK, or pumps to match the dress; and you could bring a silver or soft white bag.

Champagne dress - more formal. Champagne pumps, or gold shoes;with a gold or off white bag. You will need a wrap, or evening jacket.

Decide soon, so the mother of the groom can match you!

[ Dress length, etc.]

Why not just ask daughter what she would like you to wear?

Send photos of both, with colors by your face - hopefully she'll pick most flattering [ they both sound lovely. ]
