Passionate Fashion - Dress Up

My husband's step sister had a vow renewal ceremony last week. They had gotten married previously and wanted the family to be a part of the celebration now.
What does one wear to a Sunday morning vow renewal wedding located in a park?

Things to think about:
Time of day - Sunday morning?
Location - Park (no high heels in the park)
Location/climate - Close to a large lake and on a hill where the weather is always chilly
Event - vow renewal/bbq

All of these factors meant I was unsure of the dress code.

Most of my summer dresses seemed too casual or too white for a wedding but most of my day dresses are work attire. Add in that I wanted to wear something that I haven't gotten a chance to wear or something fun and... dress up game!

First I tried this fun tiered skirt with a tank top.
Too much skin and not the right vibe for me for this occasion


Then I tried on this satin pencil skirt and shirt combo
Fun but not what I was looking for either


Next try was this silvery button up dress
Nope still not right (sorry about the face)


So this is what I ended up with
Something that I was comfortable in and something that allowed a jacket to be an option but not a boring one! (Ps... I was still chilly even though it was 80 degrees at home 2 hours away it was still like 60 something degrees at this wedding!)
