Not sure if this will be of much comfort, but as the stepmother of 2, the implied instructions have always been "pay up, shut up and show up." That's exactly what I've done both times. For the first one I did wear beige and for the most recent wedding last October, which was an "Autumn Splendor" theme, the dress colour I was assigned was orange. Yes, orange (SMH). I actually found a nice one on-line at Macy's.
Oh my, so sorry. I hope orange is at least flattering to you? It is my least favorite color (except in nature—fine for leaves and pumpkins) and as a very fair skinned blue eyed blonde, I look hideous in it. I would so want to be cooperative, but not sure I could actually wear orange for a special occasion like that. I hesitated about buying the house we live in because the school colors here are black and orange. My kids sports uniforms are often orange with black writing, sometimes the reverse. Ugh!
