However a private home or nice wedding hall is also acceptable. A formal wedding is generally expected to have a bridal party of between two to six bridesmaids as well as a ring bearer and flower girls.  Bridesmaids may wear short or long dresses. However if it is a formal wedding that is taking place at night, then long dress are a bit more appropriate for bridesmaids and the groom and the groomsmen are expected to dress as if they were attending a black-tie event. If one chooses a day time, formal wedding, the wedding party can be more relaxed.

In a formal wedding, the bride is expected to wear a white dress with a train. The reception should be a sit down affair where guests are served at their tables.  There should be servers and the guests should have an option regarding their meal. This information is generally given on the guest’s response cards. Most couples provide two meat choices and even a vegetarian option maybe offered.

When sending out invitations to a formal wedding, the invites should be very traditional. This means the print on the invitations should be black with fancy script on white paper.
