Although many people are confused by "festive attire" weddings, it's pretty straight forward. You should wear a party dress or a cocktail dress that makes you feel festive. (Save the floor-length evening gown for a different occasion.) Men should wear a suit, perhaps with a fashionable accessory like suspenders or a designer tie.
This Lauren by Ralph Lauren dress just makes me smile. It's clear that the wearer of this dress is going to a party, and is going to have a verygood time.
