Wedding on a farm - what to wear

[Pandora]

Im going to a wedding next week for my cousin.
They are getting married on his parents very large property in a bush location (in the middle of a fire area so hoping for mild weather)

Anyway I have no idea what to wear. Even if my clothes fit me, which lots dont.
There was no indication at all on the invitaiton of what the dress code was to be.

DH wants to wear jeans and a shirt. Im worried my family will make comments about it if he does - they would do it to me or behind his back but none of them would have the nerver to say anything to him.

Now the bride and groom - it would be the last thing they'd care about but Im really not sure.. maybe I could get him some new black jeans??

I would like to wear a long sleeved dress and boots but my boots dont do up anymore

No idea what options I have as everything that does fit is very summery.

Could you ring up and ask what their idea of dress code is? That would be safest I reckon

By what you have said it is going to be a relaxed wedding so I don't imagine it will be extra formal.
To be on the safe side give either the bride or grooms parents a ring and ask how formal it will be.

i second ringing the bride or grooms family - or even a brides maid/grooms men to see what they'll be wearing. (eg long dress/****tail dress)
if in doubt a nice top and pants or skirt. or dress. if your worried about lack of clothes maybe see if you can swap clothes with a family member/borrow something. thats how i get around it.

something neat casual, like something you could also wear to a beach wedding, or a big family bbq.

Avoid stilettos or open toes, as you may be walking in the paddocks, or over gravel/sandy roads on the property, nice sandals are ok, but stilettos will sink, and if you are in the paddocks at all, you don't want toes exposed to grass spiders or snakes.

Boots, knee length skirts, all good. Your man should be ok with jeans and shirt, as long as he's avoiding the cliche cowboy style, and it's a neat tidy pair of jeans, nice shoes too, not blundstones lol!

Google image search on farm/ranch weddings for examples maybe?

Ummm weddings held on farms can still be uber stylish and formal affairs, it ain't all dust and snakes Few stereotypes kicking about here LOL. I highly doubt you will be traipsing across paddocks and just because it is on a farm doesn't mean it is a hoedown LOL. Definitely ask your cousin first, because you don't want to turn up wearing jeans and a check shirt if everyone else is wearing ****tail or formal dress. But avoid high heels if you can. It will probably be under a marquee, but it probably wont have a hard floor in it.
