Should I wear black pants & top or a knee length sequin dress?

Should I wear black pants & top or a knee length sequin dress? I have a gray/silver sequin knee length dress with a medium gray sweater (same length as the dress) with pewter sandals & white gold jewelry or black pants & top with the same gray sweater & black sandals with silver inserts & white gold jewelry. It’s for a casual afternoon wedding & reception at the Siesta Key Hotel.

Weddings are for celebrating but a casual, afternoon wedding calls for something more understated than a silver sequin dress. Your black pants and top with your medium gray sweater, black and silver sandals and white gold jewelry sounds very appropriate.

Choose a statement necklace or earrings in white gold, silver or sparkly (quality rhinestone or diamond) to add some sparkle to your outfit.

What Should the Wedding Guest Wear?
Be a stylish wedding guest! Weddings are to celebrate, occasions to dress up. The wedding invitation provides the information to help you decide what to wear.
