What 2 wear 2 wedding?

I'm going to a wedding on Saturday and having a hard time figuring out what to wear. The ceremony is at 3pm and the reception is directly after (I think). Here are my two options:

*classy (not slutty looking) red calf-length halter dress, form fitting but not tight, bunches on one side, but shows cleavage
*white pinstripped pants with a black velvet-type blazer (not too sure of what top but leaning towards a spaghetti strap lace burgundy top)

Thanks in advance!

Hi Haermoni,

I just looked at your little one's pictures, and noticed that you are from Vancouver (I am assuming because of the picture at Queen Elizabeth Park, I am there as well!!! Well, from Richmond, but we just moved to Langley.

Anyways, if the wedding is a more formal event, I personally would go with which ever you think is fancier. Is the wedding local? Where is it? After seeing your picture, I think you could pull off the red dress and look beautiful. Have fun, let us know how it goes!

ps, excuse me for being overly excited, it's just that you are the first local gal I've encountered here!

Haermoni, your pictures of your family are great! What cute little boys!!! If it's at 3pm then it's still semi formal so you could wear the pants. Unless you know they are going all out for the wedding, attire wise. It is hard to know what to wear to a wedding, lol! You just don't want to wear anything that will be to wow and distract from the bride, lol! I think either of those will work. I guess I'm not much help, but my sis is getting married on May 14 and I'm her matron of honor so I'm in wedding mode, lol!



We're expecting our 3rd miracle!

I like the pinstripe idea. Only because that is something I would wear

I always thought that what you wear depends on where you live and how formal the wedding is. If it is semi-formal I would wear the suit..if it is formal I would wear the dress with a shawl for the church. Have fun!

Haermoni, It is hard to say without seeing the outfits but I would go with the first one since the reception is right after the wedding. I just looked at your boys they are so cute, my boy was born just 2 days before yours. Come see his site at
