Help me shop, please?

[catwoodtree]

I have some shopping to do for a wedding I'll be attending this May. I guess I'm down to two months, which should be a long time, but it's not very long at all when you have to order everything online. *sigh

To answer your questions:

It's probably best that you not wear obvious white/nude to a wedding-related-dinner in case the bride-to-be decides to wear something like that.
A white dress with a colorful print is also not a great idea. Although, I suppose it would depend on the bride and groom. I'd say no.
Yes, you absolutely can wear a black dress to a wedding-related-dinner so long as it's not the reception dinner.
"20s inspired" really just means a slightly loose dress with lots of jewelry, low heels and perhaps a cute hat (hats here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dapparel&field-keywords=flapper+hat)

My top three 20s inspires dresses are as follows:
1. FROCK & FRILL PINTUCK EMBROIDERED DRESS in dusty rose
2. VIVID PRINT JERSEY PENCIL DRESS
3. PRINTED DRESS

For me semi-formal wear is best from places like Macy's & Nordstrom. Although, I've had occasional luck with Avenue and eBay.

Shoe info: You're right in that your size is hard to find. I found these in your size for under $48 that fit in with the 20s inspiration. They also look easy to walk in. Otherwise, the brand Pleaser has been great when looking for something unique. I hope this helps!

It's not the reception dinner. Do you think that this dress would be appropriate?

Nice job finding those shoes in a 12.5, that was quick! I don't usually even look for 12.5, I just look at the reviews for 12 and 13.

Absolutely. That's lovely. :)

This really pretty. You get the 20's feel without being costume-y

Black really is fine for any wedding occasion - the wedding itself, the reception, the rehearsal dinner, etc. Seriously. Unless you're in the south, a majority of women will be wearing black. Don't worry about it!

Ah, but I will be in the south! Not just that, but the bride's maternal family is very traditional Southern Baptist.

I think I'll stay away from black for the actual wedding, just to be safe.
