The wedding is in catholic church at 11:00am and then at the reception hall. Since it is a daytime wedding, what colors and styles of dress would be appropriate? Also, do i have to match with my boyfriend?

You don't have to match with your boyfriend. While it can be cute, it can also be tacky and/or scary. Like everyone says, don't wear white or any form of off-white as your main color; those are reserved for the bride. Wear something light and feminine-- something you look and feel pretty in. Also, since it's a daytime wedding, you want to avoid plunging necklines, fire-engine red, excess sparkles and/or jewelry, etc.-- basically, anything too dramatic. All that's for evening events. Also, depending on where you live, keep in mind the weather, if you're going to be spending more than five or ten minutes outside at a time! Late October is brisk and chilly.

possibly you're a guy - so which you prefer to positioned on a black healthful or tuxedo. With it you could positioned on a tie if the formal adventure takes ordinarily place interior the afternoon. on your case it looks most of the festivities would be overdue afternoon and night (till you do not attend the reception and bypass domicile after church) then you incredibly would desire to positioned on a bow tie - burgundy or black. Vest is optionally available for the two day or night adventure. positioned on a white shirt, yet not a button down collar, as those are greater clever informal then formal. that could be a white shirt with favourite collar or a tuxedo shirt (yet use purely bow tie for tuxedo shirt). positioned on polished black shoes, yet not the extreme polished lacquered style. a effective greater may well be a folded white handkerchief interior the left breast pocket. a clean haircut is likewise not a nasty undertaking for formal activities. have exciting.

No you dont have to match with your boyfriend,,,,Its not the prom!
Any color dress will do, just try not to wear white. (just out of courtesy)
I think the best thing would be is just go window shopping.
Try Bloomingdales, Macys, Nordstrom or if you have a good amount of change to spend, then Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Ave.
Trust me, when you see THE DRESS, you will know (like love at first sight!)

Since it is a day-time wedding you would probably not have to wear a full-length gown even if your boyfriend is wearing a tuxedo. I am not sure about that. Don't wear white and don't wear the colors that the bridesmaid's are wearing.

don't match with boyfriend and try to find out the dominate colors used in the wedding ex.. bridesmaid dresses flowers ect. and pick a soft color because you don't want to draw alot of attention to yourself at a wedding safe color is classic white or a light fall color don't go too dark and make your man dress up in slacks dress shirt and tie

Formals, light shades of blue, cream, copper: match most others, if you don't want to stand out, not really your boyfriend, who might be in a formal suit with tie or bow as per local custom!

i found this wen once visiting the fall fashion,y nt try this:
- wear a long formal dress wiv creamy peach, or baby pink as colour
- white sandals...or high heels, depending upon ur height
- silver white jewellery : silver white bangles, watch, earrings etc. if ur dress is high neck 1, wear long dangling neklace(white pearly ones suit best!!) n matching earrings. if its low-neck n revealing, wear choker(in this case silver suits best!!)
- if u r nt so curvy, dangling silver or pearl(acording to jewelry)) will add that sexy look!!
- for make up: if u r wearing creamy peach dress, try bronze blush, golden brown n tones eyeshadow, dark choco eyeliner, blak mascara, surrey brown lip stuff. if its baby pink dress: try light pink eyeshadow, wiv white highlighter, nlak mascara n eyeliner, rosy blush, n berry-red lip stuff
- a floral perfume wud b very very nice!!
-keep a nice welcoming smile on ur face
hav a nice time...enjoy!!
