If it's a dressy wedding, go for a shorter dress. If it's informal, you have more options.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have worn black and white to a day wedding before - and finished off the look with red shoes and clutch. I don't think it's inappropriate to wear black to a day or evening wedding.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-mother-of-the-groom-during-the-day#post-1161038 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 14:39:33 +0000 Anonymous 1161038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am uncomfortable with the idea of black at a day wedding. &nbsp;This could be an old fashioned idea though so most definitely defer to others in the forum. &nbsp;</p> <p>I love the idea of a shorter length though. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-mother-of-the-groom-during-the-day#post-1161018 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 13:59:07 +0000 Suz 1161018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!&nbsp;</p> <p>I would do as Caro and Joy suggest; first talk to your DIL to be and possibly her mother, about the venue, the dressiness level, etc. I suspect a knee-length dress would be ideal; as for colour and level of formality, that might depend on their wishes and the type of wedding.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, where are you located geographically? This might help us figure out what styles would work for your climate.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-mother-of-the-groom-during-the-day#post-1160923 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 04:54:42 +0000 Anonymous 1160923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on your son's wedding. I would avoid a black dress. Maybe you can ask the bride's mother what she plans to wear to get an idea of what is expected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-mother-of-the-groom-during-the-day#post-1160885 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 03:44:19 +0000 Caro in Oz 1160885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would check with your DIL to be, to see if there are&nbsp;colours she would like you to choose from &amp; how formal it will be&nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-mother-of-the-groom-during-the-day#post-1160820 Sat, 08 Feb 2014 02:10:06 +0000 dmabja14 1160820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son is getting married next month. It is a daytime wedding. I have no idea what is considered to be proper attire. Any advice? Should I wear a knee length dress? Is black off limits? </p>
