For daytime formal weddings (think royal weddings), morning dress (not black tie!) is the appropriate attire.

For men, this means a morning coat, dark grey striped pants and a dove-grey waistcoat (vest).

For women, an elegant knee- or tea-length dress with or without a jacket, a hat or fascinator, and classic accessories are appropriate.
