What to wear for a wedding?

Ah, I'd read your question as the OP as essentially "do you think this will be dressy enough for the bride and groom." But if it was more "do you think this will be dressy enough for the other guests" then I fall back to having no opinion. I have one suit. That is what gets worn if I am in a dress nice environment, and I hardly never notice what anybody else is wearing. For my and Lani's wedding the three guests were wearing dirty clothes since they'd just come in off the playa doing prep work for Burning Man.

Just because we live on the east coast doesn't mean we dress like Amish people.

The dress you selected would be fine I think, but you'll need some kind of cardigan or something to keep from getting too chilly in the evening.

There's a vast difference between a bit more formal and Amish.

I just find it amusing that everyone is making such a big deal about how they don't know if it will work on the east coast.

Go for a nice dress in a more neutral tone. I would suggest something with a sleeve.
