Help! I am attending a wedding tomorrow for one of my fiance's friends. There is no specific dress code and the groom was completely unhelpful when I asked him how formal it was going to be. It is an evening wedding with reception immediately following. it is 450 guests with a large restuarant and all of the hotel next door rented out for after wedding parties, they are even constructing a large tent on the grounds just to hold everybody. I think that the scale would suggest a formal event and I have the options of an ankle length blue halter dress (it was for a captain's dinner on a cruise)or some other shorter, les dressy styles (like could be worn to dinner or to a graduation). Does anyone have any suggestions for whether or not a long dress woudl be appropriate. I dont' want to be that crazy girl that showed up way over dressed, but I don't want the opposite to happen. How formal should I go?

Evening weddings are formal affairs. Lol, no surprise the dingy groom is not help! Go with the most dressy and elegant, not the more casual. Don't worry, you won't be overdressed, you will be appropriately dressed and knock em dead! Have a great time.

Realizing that all men are not fashion mavens, what does your fiance' plan to wear? You should match his attire. You are his date. If he, like a lot of men, says it doesn't matter and to wear what you think, take him up on it... OR, go to a discount store in the morning (Steinmart ?) and shop the sales rack for something more ambiguous than the two choices you listed. I think you are on the right track though, the TIME of the wedding suggests a formal event... typically the more casual affairs are earlier in the day...

Since the preparations sound very complex and elegant, the long dress will be perfect. The only reason I would wear a shorter, more casual gown is if the weather is extremely warm.
