<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: It is an Occasion for a Long Dress
As long as your dress is not all white or off white, it is fine to wear a long dress to a semi -formal summer wedding. Attire that is solid white is saved for the bride to wear only. The lightweight, long summer sundress can be dressed up and worn as appropriate attire for a semi-formal event.
On the Other: The Summer Heat and Constrictions
Wearing the long dress is appropriate attire as far as etiquette goes, but it is summer and it may be hot. The extra material of a long dress might add to the heat factor for you. Short dresses might also be easier to dance in at the wedding, since they will not be as constricting.
Bottom Line
A wedding is one of the occasions where you can feel comfortable wearing a long dress. It will not be mistaken for business or sporty attire, so you cannot go wrong with your choice. Take advantage of the occasion and wear a long dress if you happen to fancy wearing one.
