Hi Suz! Congratulations for your stepson. That is certainly a happy moment! I don't think you mentioned when this wedding is to take place (at what time of the year?). Barefoot in winter is strange... but if it is what she wants.

On the other hand, while I adore your style and find you so cute in the shown pictures, my two cents is that they are all too corporate for a wedding event. You don't want to look stiff. The vintage top is the only thing there that is more appropriate for the circumstance, I think.
Why don't you go for a flapper style dress?
It can be worn with flat shoes. A flapper dress allows for movement and avoids the stiff look. You can dress it up or down. You can wear a fascinator, maybe, for the ceremony, that can be removed for partying.
Examples of what I mean:

(BTW DD looks great!)

A holiday wedding in your home-- how fun!
I, too, vote for 6 or 1. I love your vintage top! I also think the sparkly tunic in your other thread has potential, depending how casual the occasion turns out to be.
Your daughter is adorable and has your beautiful smile.

Another vote for 6 followed by 1.They are both chic and occasion appropriate so maybe use comfort as the deciding factor no matter which outfit you choose.And I do mean true comfort: as in ease of movement, ability to put out little fires and mop away wine stains without a care in the world!

I researched some of your photos-- [I am too new to see the photos you added to the post]-- and I am sure you will select the right attire. My concern-- if the wedding is in Canada-- at this time of year why a barefooted bride would be a question mark.

Stepmom-- you will probably look great in your own home no matter what you wear.

Q...

Congratulations! I didn't have time to read all the replies. I will say the fuchsia suit is a bit bold and you don't want to personally stand out too much for this event. I think the #1 or #6 options are both good as long as you find comfortable shoes. I'd say wearing the vintage top with loose fit trousers would be great and maybe the way I'd go since it's supposed to be casual, you'll be cooking and it may be pretty cold.

I imagine the point of the bride/groom requesting casual is probably to avoid anyone feeling stressed about "what do I wear" - of course it never really works this way ;-).

Hey Suz. Another vote for #1. With party shoes, if you can swing that
(not ones that fall off your feet!). I think the boots made it too
casual. Plus, who wears boots in their own house? You can dress this up or down (or sideways) really quickly if you feel out of place at all.

Congratulations Suz! I like #6 followed by #1. Your DD is super cute!

I think you look very good in all of them, but my favourites are #1, 6 and 8. 8 is great, and so modern, but I feel for a wedding 1 or 6 would be more appropiate. I think I'd choose 1, it's wonderful.

Suz, I cannot believe I overlooked DD's statesman look. She really does have an amazingly defined style for her age, bravo, to Mr and Mrs Suz for giving her the freedom to find her own look and applause to DD for having the courage to take it.

I am so ridiculously late to this thread Suz but still had to chime in to say you look positively gorgeous in every single outfit. Congratulations to you and your family

And DD's style is FABULOUS! I love an individual.

I really like #2 and #8. Also #6.

There was a woman at our table at the Xmas party wearing a long straight fluid black skirt to the ankle with a tuxedo jacket and it looked very sharp. I was thinking something like that could work for your event too. She didn't have a shirt under the jacket and it was more exposure than I would be comfortable with but I was thinking to try to find similar pieces for next year but with a low cami in black or cream silk.

Had to come back to my post since I had forgotten to comment on DD too. She looks very cool in her suit. Do you think you could talk her into a very narrow dark tie? Perhaps she should look at some pics of David Bowie from his post ziggy days when he went more elegant and debonair.

I am sure I could talk her into a different tie. She just raided Dad's closet for this one. It's what she could find.

Thanks, all -- no decisions yet but I am not stressing. At least I will be covered!
