Dress for wedding help please

[harleysnhorses]

So I am usually pretty good at this stuff, but for some reason I am stumped on this one- the wedding is on Sunday, ceremony starts at 3 pm followed by cocktail hour, dinner, reception and then party! I do not have the invite as she said she did not mail me one since she told me in person??-whatevs-but it is being help at a place called Darby Dan Farm in Columbus, Ohio-beautiful horse farm and can be pretty fancy. Would a black dress be too much for a 3pm wedding?

Please give me some ideas!!! Thanks!

When I'm in doubt about a wedding dress code, I wear a LBD. Easy, and you know no one is going to give you the side-eye.

Wait...you didn't get an official invite? That's weird, considering its at a fancy place.

Anyways, I tend to think of Sunday weddings (especially on a farm) as being a bit more casual, but since there's a full reception and dancing happening, that's throwing me off. I think all black would maybe be a little much.

I think you can totally wear a LBD to a 3pm Sunday wedding. add your splashes of color with the bubble necklace! (kidding) - but just style it up.

yeah, she emailed me for my address forever ago, then last Friday said ooops I just came across your reply with your address, I can still send the invite if you need it and I said yes so I would have a better idea of the formality-but have not received it yet-we are pretty good friends and we hang out and ride at the barn together.
