There's my dilema. It is floral but my roommate, who's from the south, is insisting that even though it's evening people will be in pastels. She said, "if the wedding was in New York, I'd say no, but considering it's a coastal town in the south, I think it's fine."

To describe it.. it's knee length, white with a green and black floral pattern. The only other time I've worn it was out to dinner in Italy.

Another dress I'm considering is this beautiful red one that I bought in Florence, Italy and have never worn. But I feel like wearing red to anything wedding-related isn't appropriate.

In the hardcore South, black, red, and white can all be eyebrow raisers at a wedding. The only * to that is if the wedding party is also wearing black or red. The sports coat does add to the causal attitude, though. Whichever you decide to go with, definitely have a wrap over your shoulders for the church portion - no matter how hot or cold it is (even though it's supposed to be fairly cool this weekend).

The dress you described does sound lovely, but unless you have a green cardigan, I'm not so sure it's the statement you wish to make.

This isn't for the wedding, it's for the party after the rehearsal dinner.
