Is it inside or outside? I would do neutral makeup and wavy hair, but that's just me. Or straight hair or a nice neat bun.

Depends on her wedding. My friend had a very relaxed cocktail wedding but her theme was vintage books so I wore a vintage maxi dress. I'd try to keep the dress knee length and don't wear white ;) hair I'd keep up. Mine was down and omg I was dying half way through the night.

Other than two examples I cite below, none of those are appropriate for a wedding...

If the wedding is in a church, cover your shoulders. Hermlines above the knee are not appropriate, period. This is a wedding, not a nightclub or prom. Unless the bride has requested it, do not wear white or any pastel close to white (including: blush, beige, pale yellow, ivory, cream, pale blue, lilac, pale green, etc.). Black is also off limits unless given permission. Look at the colors on the invitation suite and try to avoid those colors, as they will likely be the color that the bridal party is wearing (this is just a formality, not required). Avoid excessive cleavage or cutouts (you're not there to advertise yourself, you're there to celebrate a marriage).

If the wedding and reception are in the evening in a formal venue, a cocktail dress is appropriate. A sheath or wrap style that is not too revealing or tight and not too short is ideal. Bare shoulders can be covered with a wrap, bolero, or cardigan for a church ceremony or if the reception is chilly.

A less formal wedding affords you some more leeway; a nice dress or slacks and blouse... almost business casual would be considered appropriate. "Festive casual" so to speak. Nicole's #4 (the coral and lace dress) would be appropriate, with some flats and a nice belt. Same with her #6.

If you have something in mind, perhaps ask someone in your family or involved with the wedding if they think it would be appropriate. It sounds like it is a close family member's wedding, which makes it a little easier to get opinions.
