Appropriate Wedding Dress

Hi all:

I have been invited to my first German wedding which take place in 2 weeks. I wanted to get some feedback because I am very confused now. There seems to be a fine line with being part of the family and/or just a family friend.

In the US, especially NY, we tend to "deck out" and overdress at these occasions whether we are family or not. I have heard the opposite is true here and anything goes???

It is so hot out now that I am sure I would be uncomfortable in the formal dress (usual black) I brought over.

Someone suggested pairing a trendy baby-doll shirt with a nice skirt.

Is this way too undressed? Should I go "all-out" and just deal with being uncomfortable?

The reception will take place at a restaurant the parentīs of the bride own.

Thanks to all.
