We have been told the attire is casual “sundresses and maxi dresses” but what on earth to wear to a cape cod wedding when the forecast is high of 60 and possible rain?!?
My only long sleeved dresses are either extremely work-attire or black velvet. |
| You bring a scarf/wrap/jacket/sweater |
| And wear fleece leggings under your maxi dress. |
| Do you have a work blazer that you could wear over whatever dress you had originally planned for? |
| Maybe not a dress? Jumpsuit with sweater? Dress with coat? It’s going to be cold. |
|
Wear a fitted long sleeve maxi dress with dressier jewelry and a statement coat/cape.

A jacket
Last fall we went to a wedding in Maine with outdoor ceremony and tented reception. It was about the same weather. Most women wore typical cocktail type dresses with a coat or shawl over them. I had a cashmere wrap in the tented reception as well. There were heaters in the tent, and it was comfortable. You can layer a blazer, moto jacket, or sweater if you prefer that or if you don’t have a long coat. Footwear - might be a good week to wear flats. Mud and heels are no bueno! |

Pashmina or cashmere wrap. There are lots of places on the Cape that sell cashmere wraps in lots of colors for this very purpose.
In the Cape's defense it was warmer there yesterday than it is here. And the weather forecasts are notoriously wrong. They will probably have heaters in the tent if needed. We had them on reserve for my DDs Cape Cod wedding but didn't end up needing them. |
| To be fair, who would have thought it would be so cold as we head into June. That said, wear a jacket and boots. You can even consider some flowy dress pants instead of a dress which could work well since the attire is "casual". |
On the Cape? Everyone who knows the Cape. |
No kidding. Hey, take a plan, car and/or boat, spend thousands, to try to look nice while you freeze your butt off outside. |
What an ugly dress in every color, not to mention it shows every bump and bulge. The model looks photoshopped. |
| Worry more about footwear and mud. Mud is your real worry. |
| Wear leggings under a long dress and bring a cardigan. This news sucks more for the bride than you. You figured out how to post this.... just google ideas. |
+1 that dress is terrible and the furthest thing from what someone on the cape would wear Just wear the dress you would have worn and add a cashmere wrap. If you don’t sell them, they’re all over up there. We were on Nantucket last weekend, and it was warmer than in dc. I’d also assume they’ll have a tent w/ heaters |
