    Thanks for all the replies and advice! All the weddings I've been to in the last few years were quite casual, backyards, beaches, that kind of thing. So I've got nothing but am looking forward to spending some money on myself I think I'd like to wear a dress as opposed to a skirt for this one.

    As for DH, he's still refusing to even consider a tie but I'll definitely work on him! It's an evening wedding and I'd hate for him to be under dressed.

    Oh and Traveller I told him what you said - he just laughed

    Hi CM! I have a formal wedding coming up soon too. I was horrified to discover that my newly gargantuan bb's don't fit into even my 'back up dress' anymore!!

    So I was wondering about this too. I have settled on a black on shoulder dress, quite dressy, but only knee length. I think the length will be ok as I will wear heels etc.

    I can't imagine everyone doing full length gowns at this one even though it says formal.

    Let us know what you decide xox

    Hi hon I think you'll really enjoy a formal wedding! It can be really nice to dress 'up' and feel like a hot sexy beautiful woman or a princess for the night (whatever tickles your fancy). I say go all out and buy a lovely dress, put some heals on, do your hair (up or down, whatever) and wack some lipstick on <insert wolf whistle icon here> LOL as for your hubby grrrrr that really annoys me! What is it with some men? Is he worried you or someone else might mistake him for a gentleman for the evening he will stand out more if he doesn't wear a tie as you can rest assured that 99% of the men there will have a tie on if the invite says 'formal'. Oh as for the length of your dress, there are plenty of formal dresses that aren't full length, as others have mentioned a nice ****tail dress can also be considered formal.
