Barn Wedding

I have a wedding to go to at the end of September that is taking place in a barn. Said barn is somewhere between Ralph Lauren playing farmer and actually having horses in the stalls (closer, though, to the latter). We were expressly told not to wear heels, so I guess that means wedges, but I’m not really sure what dress to wear. I have a really pretty 1940’s tweed dress, but it’s a bit confining for all the dancing I’ll be doing. Although it is more of a low key event, it is still a Saturday night wedding.”

I would do something simple as far as shoes and dress go. Stay away from anything too fancy since its in a barn. No Shiny Satin or really super tight fitted dresses. Something inbetween can work nice like this susanna monaco dress because it has a nice feminine ruffle combined with the simple silhouette. As far as shoes, its not clear what they want except no pumps so maybe do a neutral yet fun dressy wedge, flat or sandal.”
