Fashion help please: wedding attire

LeoChic

We are headed to a wedding in Atlanta soon. The wedding itself is smack dab in the afternoon. The reception is outside in the evening. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to dress. Should I treat it as an afternoon wedding even though the reception is in the evening? How should DH dress? Suit with coat? Finally, where's a good place for me to shop for a nice dress? I don't want to spend a ton - $100 tops.

Dress for the reception, so evening. I plan to shop at Ann Taylor, BR, Jcrew and the racks at TJMaxx, Marshalls and Filenes basement for the weddings and shower I have this summer.

Go to macy's with a coupon.  They have seriously about 100 different little black dresses there.  Get a nice one and you will look great, and can definitely be done for less than 100.  I just did for a wedding.  They have so many different styles and fits, you can't go wrong with it.  Esp, since there is an evening reception.

Just saw about your husband, that is tougher, but I would say suit if there is an evening reception.  Better to be over, than under dressed.  

Is there no mention on the invite?  I am assuming evening reception wouldn't be casual, but where is it being held?  Is there dinner and dancing, etc?  That would help for both of you.
