Stepmother of the Bride...
I had asked here for advice on what to wear for black tie optional, and it was recommended that I wear a floor length dress. The wedding is in just over a week in Westchester County, NY. Ceremony is in a church at 1:00 PM, and the reception at 5:00. As the stepmother I want to make sure I donโt take any attention from the mother of the bride, so the beaded one may be too sparkly. Another concern is that Iโm always cold, so I would need to figure out what to wear over a sleeveless dress. These are current options, but if none are appropriate, Iโll just keep trying!
