What to wear to an october wedding?

Question

My husband and I are invited to my coworkers wedding, this will be my first time attending an american wedding and i don't know how women usually dress up for such event..

The wedding will be in October, i am so lost, i don't know what to wear, what color. I just don't wanna stick out if i wear like a long dark dress, LOL October is a tricky month, so i need some help.,

Oh the color i've been thinking about is light coral, but maybe that will be a bad decision in october?..

Any ideas is greatly appricated, (esp pictures

Answer 1

Coral is nice but I would stay away from anything that could be confused with white. I would say wear a black, light brown, burgundy but not red. Red is never a good color to wear to a wedding. Cocktail length is good for October.  

Answer 2

Is it an evening wedding? Any nice cocktail dress is appropriate. Anything in fall colors would be okay.

Something like this:

Answer 3

Much More Earthly Colours Such As Browns, Orange, Yellow Or Like You Suggested Coral.

But If You Can, See If You Can Find Out What Colour The Bridal Party Will Be Wearing 1st. You Don't Want To Show Up & Be Wearing The Same Colour As Them. It May Clash A Bit & Some Brides Can Get Annoyed (Which I Think Is A Bit Stupid).

Good Luck.

Answer 4

wear a red or black cocktail dress.Always looks nice

Answer 5

No long dresses.  You'll look like you're going to the prom.  No light colors, it's autumn.  Appropriate dresses would be dark-ish, and end either just above or just below the knee.  It should be a nice dress.  Doesn't have to be expensive, just classy.  Nothing super low cut.  You can google homecoming dresses for ideas....even though most of those are prom dresses (full length and shiny).  Homecoming dresses are made with fall colors generally, so they can give you some stylistic ideas.

Good luck!
