Mother Of The Bride Dress

I am wondering what to wear to an outdoor garden wedding that will take place at 2:00 p.m. In November in Florida.
I will be the mother of the bride. Should I wear a long or short dress? Following the ceremony we will have a reception on a ship. I am even considering slacks.
What would be proper?

The good news is nothing is out, you should wear what is comfortable to you. I think a nice pair of sailor pants would be great. My mother wore a short black flowered dress to my wedding and I thought she looked fantastic. Good luck and enjoy the day. Kari
