Daughter of the groom . . .

pollyfan

My father is getting remarried in October. Both he and his fiance are in their eighties and both are widowed. As you can imagine, there is lots of scope here for "how do we do . . . ?" in this situation! For me, the big question is what to wear.

I'm the eldest daughter (and in fact my 60th birthday is 4 days before the wedding!), but I live 3000 miles away, so it's not like I've been involved with them on a daily basis. In other words, I'm not a fade-into-the-crowd guest, but I'm not the main female family member here like Mother of the Groom or whatever. So I need something nice, but not a Mother of the Groom outfit.

The wedding is early afternoon. I am short and roly-poly, and I'm much more comfortable in pants than a skirt or dress. Do you think pants and a fairly dressy blouse would be acceptable? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable.

I think that would be perfect. Especially in the afternoon, where weddings are usually a little more casual. Wear whatever makes you feel beautiful!

Unless the wedding is quite casual, I think a pants suit in a pretty color (please not black/gray/brown) in a nice fabric (silk shantung could be lovely) would be more appropriate than pants and a blouse. Just looks like you've put a bit more effort in.

I think a nice pair of pants with a nice top would be fine. Unless they ask you to be a part of the bridal party and to wear something specific, I think you could dress like you would for any wedding where you are a guest.
