Q: I don't want to look dowdy at my daughter's wedding. Can you help?
1. Work with the wedding's mood and color scheme—and consult the groom's mom so you don't clash.
2. Break in new shoes at home a few days before the event.
3. Beware of bare or ultrashort (a little dignity, please), but avoid head-to-toe coverage—the goal is to play up your best feature.

Q: I'm 44 and getting married for the second time. How should I dress? Is white okay?

Q: How can I avoid making my friends spend a lot on one-shot bridesmaid dresses?
