I'm an Asian living in Asia. I'm invited to my friend's wedding ceremoney and party in Lyon, France. They will have civil ceremony in the morning and religion ceremony around 4pm. The reception will be after the ceremoney in church. Dinner is at 8pm and I guess we will drink till 4 am.
I'm so curious what to wear and do you have to change dresses between the period. I really have no idea at all.
Thanks for the answers in advance!

In the morning usually it is less formal if the weather is warm than a sun dress would be nice than CHANGE into something more formal for the church and reception Time of day often tells you the formality also when a church service is involved usually it is to be semi formal to formal as well look at the invite that can tell you a lot
And If still in doubt ask the person issuing the invite a question can't be answered with out first the question being asked

You can wear anything you want!
But maybe it's not the best idea to wear something totally white...
I'd say, wear something not to posh ( a nice skirt) in the morning at the civil ceremony. You don't have to change for the religion ceremony but I would wear an evening gown for the party... maybe even an Asian one as they are so beautiful...
And why don't you ask your friend? She'll be able to help you.
Good luck and have a great time at the wedding!

Avoid wearing any outfit that is solid black, white, or red. They're not culturally appropriate in most Western social circles, for a wedding guest to wear.
Wear a dress, or nice pantsuit. Nothing too revealing because their church might be very conservative and not allow bare arms or short skirts for women, etc. Or, have a cover-up like a shawl, bolero, or nice sweater, for the church portion of the day.
You shouldn't have to change in between, but if your hotel is nearby, I suppose you could.

Actually, I'm answering with an additional question: Do French women still wear hats to weddings, and if so, can anyone point me to any certain styles? I'm assuming the hat would only be worn to the religious ceremony and vin d'honneur, and not to the evening dinner, right?

Maybe a dress that some with a suit jacket that can be removed. Wear the dress with the jacket for the ceremonies and remove it for the party. Or this is also a good example of something appropriate to wear pg 15 left side of pg outfit on left http://www.dressbarn.com/flashFashionBookMisses.jsp

those are mix and match separates. During the day maybe wear hair up at night for party maybe let it down vs changing outfits
good luck

You do have to change dresses, but firstly something innocent or sophisticated and not too revealling and then for dinner you wear something revealling but not horish revealling but attractive

an outstanding mild summer gown with matching footwear will do good. you also could have a fine looking summer hat and lengthy skinny gloves, to seem lady like. remember to positioned on panties, it can be really windy in Caen :o)
