Q. Does a church vow renewal ceremony have a special dress code?

A. Traditional, the dress code for a vow renewal ceremony is conveyed with the invitation. As the guest, you should honor the couple’s wishes and dress appropriately. Traditionally, some houses of worship do not permit women to have bare shoulders. If your dress bears your shoulders, accessorize it with a pashmina or sweater for the ceremony. When in doubt, try asking the couple or a member of their family what is appropriate.
