whats more important is what not to wear out. That is your welcome. Go to the wedding and get out.

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.

I would suggest the White House and Black Market store. Everything there is either white or black so half the dresses should be good for you :)\n\nhttp://www.whiteandblack.com/store/home_intro.asp\n\nOr if you are not looking for a white dress try a bridal store but ask them to show you bridesmaid dresses instead of brides dresses (You can sometimes order these in white too if you have some time before the wedding)\n\nGood Luck! :)

are you just a guest?  then its semi formal...not too formal like prom but a little bit better than your sunday best.  if youre a girl wear a dress or a really nice skirt, if youre a guy wear slacks and a nice shirt...probably a tie as well.

It's your wedding - 20 years ago those things mattered more.  Now you can wear whatever you want.

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!

Congrats on yuor wedding... to be there.. \n\nYou can have fusion for the wedding. \nI am not sure what custom you are going to follow. \nIf you are going through the church type then you can do you christian style dress. \n\nDress has to be Red in colour....You can apply a bindi(red dot on yuor forehead) \n\nIn the evening for reception you can dress in the traditional way. It might be dificult for you to wear a saree if no one is ready to help. Else you can get a Chania Choli (red colour) with gold work on it. It will look nice as well. You can go for the mathcing jewellery with that  for the full set. \n\nAbout the food you can have 3-4 disshes which will be an add on for the people. I am sure the white americans will like the food too. \nSome Items like Papadums and samosas for starters\nItems like Paneer (cheese) Palak(spinach), or Navratan Korma. You can check this from the caterers or the Indian restarants as to what dish you like.. \nThis can be with the Indian breads (Rotis) \nIn sweets you can have Gulab Jamun or Kulfi (type of icecream made from boiling milk for long time)\n\nAnything more IM me.. My wedding was on their last year and I will send you the link for my wedding photos on the yahoo. \n\n\nSmile always

About 8 months before, start shopping. I think you should also already have a good feel for the general theme of your wedding (e.g. formal, semi-formal or casual chic, not as in 'beach' or 'asian') and that the dress should fit into the formality of your event. Decide on the style that best flatters you, then "shop" that style in magazines, online and in stores when you can (most bridal shops don't let you do much when you walk in because you have to have an appointment). After this, decide what you want to spend on the gown, then buy it. The time line is something like this:\n\nAs you can imagine, it can take a while to get a bridal gown picked out, fitted, and altered, so right after you get engaged, you should make a timeline. It takes 8 to 12 weeks from the time you are fitted until you will receive your dress. Then you have to tack on a couple of weeks for alterations. Finally, the delivery of the gown from the manufacturer can be a problem. If the gown is in stock, delivery is almost immediate; if the gown is being customized - and most dresses are - delivery can take up to four months. So being the nervous nellies that we are, we suggest that you choose your gown at least six months before the big day.

A suit would be fine. What is your date wearing? If she is wearing a gown, perhaps the Tux would be better. Have a wonderful time!!!

Something conservative, but I don't think you necessarily need to wear black. A dress or skirt or for a man nice slacks, shirt and tie.

Dress for the occasion, with taste. Wear something you are comfortable in, not something you have to fuss with or worry about.\nBrush up on your manners and etiquette before you go.\nBe relaxed and friendly, be yourself

well a nice dress shirt and dress pants\n\nnow depending on your skin tone and what not i usually go with earthy tones such as baige, burgundy, brown, etc...\n\naccent these with some nice jewelry gold or silver what ever suits you best.\n\nas for shoes i would go with a low heal or flat shoes considering jazz is more conserved this will go well with it and also there more comfortable.

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! :)

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

I'm voting against everyone here. Green should be for accents ONLY (as in lemon leaf, tree fern, ect...). Go for darker colors. Ideally a medium pink and a darker pink (in moderation)mixed with your lighter pink and of course bridal whites. Make sure the whites are pure whites not off color whites. They cost a little more but are worth it. Star gazer lillies are also a great option and summer flower! Not to mention a terrific smell. When open they have a gradation from dark pink in the middle to white on the outside. You could also use your filler to punch up the color. There are lots of varieties of berries and small flowers that could add to a simple light pink. It will all just depend on how much money you have to spend in your flower budget.
