Okay, dress me for a wedding, please!

The wedding is in March. DH is in it, I'm not. But I want to wear something that won't clash with him...this is the color the bridesmaids and groomsmen are wearing:

Don't know what the dress looks like, but it is to the floor.

The wedding is at 10am and the reception at 12:30. So it's early, but the bridal party will be formal. And I'll probably be in some of the pictures since I'm family.

I have no idea what to wear since it's the afternoon but I still want to look fancy. And picking the color is also stressing me out.

Ugh that's a tough color to coordinate but not match. Part of me wants to say a red cocktail dress because red and aqua look so nice together.

Or ooh! What about gold or silver??

purple, great color on most people in my opinion and a good compliment to the aqua

I like gold and silver. But what about the cut? Strapless, one shoulder, sheath? Cocktail, day to night? That part is stressing me out more than the color I think...

100% cocktail. As far as the cut, I don't think it really matters since you don't know what the BMs are wearing- whatever you like best. Personally, I can't stand 1 shoulder dresses on me so I'd probably be going with strapless since it seems pretty formal for a daytime wedding.

ETA: And I like navy, didn't think of it! Good eye! Chat Icon

I would go cocktail length probably, unless it is black tie.

I love navy & turquoise together, but black, gray, brown, gold, silver would also work.

As for style, whatever looks good on you. Don't narrow your options too much before you start looking.
