Hi all—
For my wedding weekend in April we are hosting a welcome party on Friday for all guests (<50 ppl) rather than a rehearsal dinner. It will be in the outdoor garden of a restaurant serving BBQ. We want it to be a relaxed event so we’re going for a “smart casual” dress code (which my fiancé swears is a real dress code that people will understand 😂). My question is, what do I as the bride wear?
I always envisioned a short cocktail dress, but will I look too dressed up compared to our guests? What about a romper? White jeans and a fancy white blouse?
Thanks for your ideas!
