weddings... shudder... events created by the devil himself...especially going as the plus one of an attendent...
basic black dress is probably best... nothing too sexy-- nothing too matronly... wear something you can accessorize with nice jewelry or something...
the purple overstock dress lurkette picked out is beautiful -- it's simple - yet classy... and you can dress it up with pearls... or a simple choker...
you're kind of in prom dress season -- so i'm sure lots of places will have dressy dresses -- but i'd go with elegant rather than sweet...

could also be cute, but it would need to be tried on (I get the feeling it needs decent boobs to pull it off)
it's hard to tell from the picture - but something like this:

properly accessorized - might also work -it's plain (and could very well look like just a slip -- but it could also be very elegant..
or even that- which looks like it'd be good for dancing
