When having an outdoor wedding one often worries about the bridal parties' shoes and most important the bride's dress.  Who wants dirt and grass stains on their special dress? \n\nWhat you can do is rent something called an aisle runner.    It is literally a very long narrow carpet/fabric (just like rolling out the red carpet, but there is more than one color to choose from.)  It is usually white.  \n\nThere is also the disposable runner which is made out of a light plastic.  I would look at both and decide which you like best, and which is the one you can afford.  \n\nMost bridal companies can connect you with a service that carries one or both if they don't have it themselves.  Usually a place that rents out chairs will carry one or knows another company that does.\n\nGood luck with the special day!

Call a bridal shop.  They should have them or be able to special order them for you and your friend.\n\nIt has been a long time since I've bought any, so I wouldn't begin to guess at price.  The ones that fit the best used to button (pull on gloves lose their stretch fast), and if that is the style you buy you need to carry a hair pin.  Put the pin around the base of the button where the shank is sewn to the glove, thread the hair pin through the button hole, and pull through.  Saves time and fingernails :)\n\nYou might also call your local thrift stores (this is the kind of thing that gets dumped out when someone moves to a nursing facility) and costume shops.\n\nOh, forgot.  They aren't itchy.  Some are really satin, and others are tight knit to resemble satin, no roughness.

The outfit you described is perfect for either race. Bring a jacket. Now, if you're tickets are for the infield... then you want to wear jeans, a tee, a sweatshirt (in case it gets cold), and old shoes. You're going to have a great time. There will be approximately 100,000 people at the Oaks, and 150,000 at the Derby, so expect long lines everywhere. And be careful... there will be a lot of thieves there, too. Keep an eye on your valuables at all times.\n\n\nEdit:  You don't have to wear a hat to the Oaks, but the majority of women do. And, yes, unless you belong to the red hat society, don't wear a red hat.

Any color will do (depending on the time of the ceremony, and the season, too).  NOT WHITE!!!!!!  Believe me, there are mother in laws who do this on purpose.  \n\nIf it's a fall wedding, in the evening, a nice green color will do, not too dark, but not really light either.  \n\nIf it's a spring wedding, a pastel color would be good, and a beige/taupe would be the best, but it all depends on what colors look good on the mother of the groom.  It's not her wedding day, but it's still a big day, and she needs to look nice.  :) \n\nWhen shopping, ask the sales associate what she suggests.  They are always ready to help find some good outfits!

I'd wear something dress casual.\n\nIt's not a formal place... there's people wearing sweatshirts, but don't get too casual.\n\nIt's better to overdress an event than to dress it down.

Fall theme with deep reds browns and golden colors.  Use leaves and mums as decorations.  I went to a wedding like that it was beautiful.  The bridesmaids wore a deep apple red dress.  Very lovely.  Or for my August wedding I just did a theme of hearts.  I like silver so everything had silver hearts on it.  My favorite color is purple so a had many different shades of medium purple flowers and decorations.  It was elegant yet relaxed.  Go for whatever your hearts desire is.

A semi-formal evening wedding would call for a cocktail dress, but what fun is a wedding if you are not comfortable?  I would suggest a more formal pant suit (not something you would wear to the office).  There are some great looking tuxedo suits tailored just for women - very sexy with a low cut blouse.  OR - you can do a wide legged flowy pant with a great long caftan-type blazer.  Something sheer-ish that goes almost to the knee, but is embellished somehow with either beading, or embroidery to make it a little more formal.  \n\nYou can really explore this pant idea.  Maybe something simple, but the material is a gorgeous silk shantung that makes the pant suit look formal/cocktail.  Perhaps you go with colors like champagne.  Something elegant.\n\nAbove all else.  Be comfortable and enjoy!

Wear it for the actual wedding ceremony. \n\nBring along a change of clothes for the reception. \n\nThat way you both get your way!

Sarah Jessica Parker wore black to her wedding and it worked for her.  The bride doesn't have to consult anyone on two things in her wedding - her gown and her colors.  I don't think you'll be able to find a gown with a train, but since it's outside, you might not want one.  You could order extra fabric when you order your gown and a good seamstress could make you a train.  I'm not sure if you're aware of the fact that some wedding gowns come in red.  You can get a train without making it to order.  Although I say if black is your color go for it.

Do you need a place to meet? Are you from Seattle? If you are, you'll know that an outdoor setting in Seattle can be problematic. You'll need someplace. We had a wedding reception at a community center in North Ballard that was nice and brought in our own food. Larry's Markets do platters as do Albertsons and Safeway. Is this a mixed group age-wise? plan some music, games, activities. Why are you getting together? Will that drive your theme? It seems like you are cutting it close with a big get together in a week.\n\nBelow are some links that might help you.

Something age and occasion-appropriate that is not white, ivory, or black.  My mother wore a long dress that had a matching beaded jacket over it.  Hers was the same color as the bridesmaid dresses, but it doesn't have to be.

outdoor weddings are always cool. Especially on spring and summer time. but it depends on where you live of course. if you live in a country that has a perfect spring and summer like mine then prefer outdoor. hope everything will be ok.. :)

Fall with a deep red would look really nice...like almost a crimson color.  I'm in a wedding this fall and the bride is doing deep red roses and her flower girl has a white dress that is full on the bottom with a huge crimson ribbon around the middle that takes up her torso.  SO cute.  Just don't book your wedding much later than August if you're doing anything outside.  A friend of mine did a Sept. wedding with outside pics and it just so happened to be freezing that day.  Her pics turned out pretty bad and we complained (under our breath) the whole time.
