Wedding guest style for her
* Informal Daytime: Short dress or suit (business attire OK for morning weddings)
* Informal Evening: Cocktail dress
* Semi-Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit
* Semi-formal Evening: Cocktail dress
* Formal Daytime: Short dress or suit. Hats and gloves optional.
* Formal Evening or Black-Tie: Long or dressy short cocktail (beading, glam accessories, wrap)
* Ultra-formal or White Tie: Long gown, extra glitz (furs, diamonds, etc.)
Do's and Don'ts for Her
* Don't wear white because it competes with the bride. There are plenty of other colors available.
* Don't wear black or sequins during the daytime.
* Don't worry about wearing the same colors as the bridesmaids or mothers. You can't possibly coordinate with everyone in the wedding party.
* Do wear something feminine and appropriate, out of respect for your hosts. Clubwear, overtly sexy clothing (strapless, see-through, etc) doesn't belong at a wedding. If you have to ask if it's appropriate, it probably isn't.
* Don't wear opera-length gloves (to top of arm) with anything but sleeveless or strapless gowns.
* Do take off gloves to eat or drink.
* Do use good judgment if the invitation doesn't specify the formality of the event. A pastel suit or soft floral dress for daytime or a little black dress for evening (after 6 p.m.) will take you almost anywhere.

On the 11th you should wear pastel colors. On the 12th you should wear bright colors.
But seriously, assuming you are female, you can never go wrong with a tasteful dress. Or there is leeway for revealing dresses if you want to attract attention. In spite of what that stuffy etiquette book posting says, weddings are sexually charged and some people are going to take advantage of it, one way or another. Exposing skin above the waist is proper in clothes that look expensive; it's considered tacky in cheap clothes, like a halter top from Wal Mart.
If formalwear is expected, the invitation should say something about black tie or whatever code words they use. If it's a wild location like a waterfall one half mile from a road, then you can get away with hiking gear or other casual clothes.

You sound youthful - like an adolescent. So your maximum acceptable wager is to ask your mom to call the bride's mom and locate out what should be perfect so that you'll be able to positioned on. Then, you and mom go procuring. even although this can be in a barn (meaning positioned on apartments, not heels - believe me heels and barns do not blend - ever) attempt to gown nicer than you imagine. enable your mom help you come back to a call - and verify out to lean on the conservative part - because it really is a wedding ceremony after all. some techniques: summer season gown (not a sunlight-gown) with sleeves valuable fantastically blouse with knee-length skirt or skort (go between skirt and shorts) Capri pants outfit casual textile footwear (apartments) Wedgie mules (only a touch a heel) fantastically barrettes to carry your hair up - it really is susceptible to be warm so even as your hair isn't elementary to put up, attempt to attain this - rather if that's warm. submit type rings (dangly rings have a tendency to get tickle in warm climate) per chance a huge bangle bracelet mild on the makeup - starting up position, mild eyeshadow, mascara and lip gloss - not some thing heavy.

Ask the bride what she's wearing, at least color wise. Then first off don't wear that. Second ask who else is invited and see if you want to coordinate with any of them.

Wear the most suiting dress that you look the best. But, most important remember not to let your host lost money, put more in the "ANG POW".
