OK to wear strappy "formal" shoes w/a satin dress to a Chicago winter Wedding?There's nothing else out there!

I've done this.  There used to be a thing about not wearing open-toed shoes in the winter, but now everyone does it.\n\nSince it's winter, you'll want to wear hose/nylons.

I believe in most settings in means black tie/tuxedos and full length or "formal" dresses.  Often you will see this for evening events such as weddings, dinners, opera, etc...When I am faced with this type of situation, I always try to find someone else I know that is attending and check with them as to what they are wearing (because it's not like a I have a ton of "formal" dresses hanging in the closet) and then go from there.  That at least gives me an idea and a place to start.

Unless you want to go w/a St. Patties Day theme, you would probably do best w/ a dusty rose or some other color.  W/ the sage green in might be cool to go w/ a bold color, like royal blue or purple.  Congrats!

Wear something sedately glamourous...think pale coloured ballroom or cocktail dress for a Duchess, you want dignity, here, not "Hubba-Hubba"\nWhat your spouse wears is her choice, though she should not actively clash with you in colour or style.\nIf she likes the tux idea, perhaps her accessories (tie, kerchief and cummerbund or suspenders) could be in the same colour as your gown.\nGood luck and many happy returns of the day!

If they are guests, and not part of the wedding party, any nice pants and a buttoned shirt would be fine.  If it is a casual/outdoor wedding khaki pants and a polo.  If it's a little more formal they can wear ties.  I would not do a tux unless the wedding is black tie.  My pet peeve is sneakers with a nice outfit.  Get them some decent shoes! If they are tucking shirts into their pants, make sure they have a belt.

I think that sounds lovely, especially for an outdoor wedding in the summer! If anyone says they don't like it, stick out your tongue and tell them to bugger off. It's your wedding and you can do what you want.

one dress the whole wedding / reception .... find out what color his tie will be and go with a dress in that color or you can wear any winter color ... try and stay away from black and definitely stay away from white .... but look nice and knock his socks off ...taking you to the wedding is a huge deal for him and your relationship!!

YES! I wore some funky blue socks with the toes under my wedding dress. Nobody knew about it until my husband took my garter off...it was hilarious. \n\nI was maid of honor at my friends wedding and I had white high top converse shoes died to match my dress.

Yeah... have a nice wedding/ gathering outside in a nice park or something like that.  Make it nice and casual but still nice, walk barefoot down the aisle, and ahev a whimsical ceremony.  I am sure that you could ask the person who will be marrying you to do so at this location.

wear layers so you can put on and take off clothes depending on how you feel. Gotta love Chicago weather!

Oh that sounds so romantic, if its a formal reception with a diner dance then why not wear an elegant evening dress with a nice wrap to keep you cosy before you get to the reception, you can either hire an evening gown or you can buy one from the high street fashion shops too, try EBay they have some beautiful evening dresses dirt cheap, enjoy the wedding and good luck.

yes. since it has the flowers it is fine. as long as the dress is not totally white you can get away with it. and the shoes are fine too. if you are really worried about it, add a pink scarf to accent the flowers, and use pink polish on your toes. have fun!!

There are various ways to do this.  Many malls and/or shopping centers have formal gown shops.  Most major chain stores have catalogues to order from.  There are many small "mom & pop" stores that sell wedding gowns and formal bowns.  You could look in the yellow pages, you could also ask friends or family members who have gotten married where they and their attendants went.

Depends on how formal the wedding is and your gender. \n\nFor a guy, you probably can't go wrong with a dark suit, unless the wedding is REALLY formal or REALLY informal. \n\nFor a woman, maybe a dark skirt and a nice top. (Women's fashion is so much more complicated...) Or a nice dark-colored pants-suit would probably work. Be comfortable. Most women I see at weddings wind up in various states of dress or undress depending on how cold the church is or how hot the reception room gets (and once depending on how much she had to drink).\n\nMost of all, have a good time! :)
