A few ideas:

this would look pretty on a pear shape: https://www.renttherunway.com/shop/designers/zac_posen/layered_lace_dress?lens=classic&utm_content=184140567107&nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ag%3A22684066751%3A184140567107%3A758865285260&nb_adtype=pla&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=pla-293946777986&nb_mi=10471133&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=ZACP16_0R&nb_ppi=293946777986&nb_placement=&nb_si=%7Bsourceid%7D&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&utm_campaign=22684066751&utm_source=google&sem_cid=22684066751&sem_gid=184140567107&pxid=pla-293946777986&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=&sem_type=&em_stream=&r_ty=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22684066751&gbraid=0AAAAAD0NsUlm94cgW_aA3oZrPbrFTo5dQ&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3oeC6qvvkAMVmnFHAR1L1QEoEAQYCCABEgIOb_D_BwE

as would this: https://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/product/Lace-Satin-Peplum-Maxi-Dress/570394406?color=001&size=6&sem=pla&utm_campaign=WHBM_PLA_GG_Dresses_Standard&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=778847397291x184104077022x23118885300&ogmap=MP-SEM%7CMP-PLA%7CGOOG%7CSTAND%7CMULTI%7CSITEWIDE%7C%7C%7C%7C23118885300%7C184104077022%7C&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23118885300&gbraid=0AAAAADpCxxXy1Je7hg07LlSL-btJrV8rA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3oeC6qvvkAMVmnFHAR1L1QEoEAQYICABEgIz9vD_BwE

a more colorful look:

and while not exciting, you can’t go wrong with this classic: https://tnuck.com/products/black-taffeta-caroline-dress?variant=47441401905374&sty_de_label=%0A++++++stylitics-data-enrichment-control%0A++++&nbt=nb%3Aadwords%3Ax%3A17817319430%3A%3A&nb_adtype=pla&nb_kwd=&nb_ti=&nb_mi=7635486&nb_pc=online&nb_pi=47441401905374&nb_ppi=&nb_placement=&nb_li_ms=&nb_lp_ms=&nb_fii=&nb_ap=&nb_mt=&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=17817319430&utm_term=&utm_content=&utm_network=x&utm_feed_id=&utm_extension_id=&utm_target=&utm_placement=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17817459764&gbraid=0AAAAADvuiDgdvuRNrnhJ6djt7rRp04coA&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3oeC6qvvkAMVmnFHAR1L1QEoEAQYASABEgLVwvD_BwE

I like this one, too and would likely get more use out of it.

Those logistics sound terrible.

Apart from that, what to wear seems pretty easy. Dress for the reception with a long-ish dress (tea or floor length) and bring a nice shawl for the church/temple. Have a warm jacket in the care.
