If it’s formal and you don’t want to wear a dress, I’d urge the following:
* Wide leg, very nice pants.
* Strappy heeled sandals
* A nicely detailed fitted top. If you can’t find that, a detailed silk or satin tank with a shrug.
* Jewelry should be understated, but balance nicely. If you’re wearing your hair up, wear earrings and a necklace, otherwise just the necklace.
* A touch like http://www.igigi.com/shop/poin.....disptype=3

It’s early enough in the year that you can get away without wearing pastels if you’re uncomfortable in them, but lighter colors are best for spring weddings. Also, since the wedding is an afternoon wedding with a formal dinner, I’d say at least be willing to entertain the thought of a dress. Maybe a touch like this? http://www.igigi.com/shop/poin.....disptype=3
Wear a beige pants suit with some bracelets. That would be cute.
DONT WEAR A WHITE DRESS! any thing other than that would be fine as long as it is dressy
Well, I’m a guy, so I’ll give you a guy’s perspective.
Don’t wear white (well this is what I heard said before, not really a guy’s perspective)
Don’t look too fabulous, this is the BRIDE’S day, not yours.
And don’t look too sexy -guys don’t need to be distracted from the cake.
What you describe you were thinking about wearing sounds excellent to me. Just don’t wear white, and I reckon you’ll be fine!
If you’re not sure, black dress pants and a basic dress blouse would be fine even. 
I am not a huge skirt person so I rarely where one to any event. Don’t worry about it! 
Excellent luck!
wear black snug kinda silky style pants and maybe a gray, purple or blue top (maybe sleeveless) with a thin shawl over it
for shoes try silver or black sandeled heels
for jewelry a touch simple like a black stone cross, or a simple stone and also simple earrings
ok i reckon a sleeve less top that has soem flare to it for the attraction , if your able to wear high heals or not even high heels but low cut shoes, fell comfrontable wear dressy pants or a wounder shirt it would add more to your figure.

Get a pantsuit if you don’t want to wear a dress- a touch dressy since it is a formal affair. I reckon regular pants may make you feel underdressed. If you choose a skirt and top, get a touch fancy. Same goes for jewelry and shoes.
Wear a touch that you like and feel comfortable in! If you feel better in pants cool. Wear a dressy shirt and dress it up with some cool jewelry. If you are worried about pictures, dress like you want to look in the pics!
Dress slacks, a nice blouse w/a blazer if in the fall/winter, flats-heels (whatever you are snug in), and a nice necklace and earrings…
No black shrug! Never wear black to a wedding.

Thoughts:
1) Is the reception only going to be dinner? You need to know if you are going to be expected to dance.
See links below, update your quesiton if needed, we are here to help you.
2) You do not need to wear a dress. Where a touch nice like what you might wear on a first date. Don’t wear white.
3) You can wear a skirt or pants, be comfortable. You are not likely to be in the formal pictures since it doesn’t sound like you are a bridesmaid. But you might be in casual photos taken at the reception.
4) Try to reckon of this as a company celebration party.
5) Wear comfotable shoes you can dance in. You are likely not obligated to dance, but if 39 drunk people are on the dance floor trying to do the electric slide, you’re going to be more comfortable out there, albeit - maybe swaying in the back.
6) Don’t wear super shiny jewelry. You should not out shine the bride. If you are married, you can of course wear your wedding and date rings. But, you don’t want to look like you’re getting ready to win an Oscar. Wear jewelry that goes with your outfit.
7) Pick a comfortable top with a high cut. It’s ok to wear sleeves.
GOOD LUCK!!!!!

formal generally means long dress for women and tux for men .. you do not want to wear a dress , so wear a tux.
I would wear, black long pants, with a longer, dressier top, that has some king of pattern on it, but not strips, and a plugging neck line. wear simple jewel, nothing to outgoing, with your hair up in like lose curls, and black heals
1st I hear you, I’m a larger gal myself and find it hard to find anything to wear to a wedding.
Just went to a formal one last summer,
I wore an nice dressy pair of beige slacks a fancy top (I don’t know were you live but Debs, and Fashion Bug are excellent for us ladies with a bit of meat on our bones) and a excellent pair of flats.
I did dress myself up with the accessories. A necklace and earring set and a bracelet. My bag was a small clutch that was all gittery (got everywhere, would not urge glitter bag)
check this out you can wear black to weddings this is slimming and you can wear it to other events as well very excellent investment (accent with scarf or different jewelry for a different look

I really know your dilemma
Here is my suggestion.
Black top-tank top-a bit low cut with a Black skirt ( long or just below the knee) depending what you like.
Over this, wear a one color shrug( for a wedding I suggest-light blue/turquoise or cherry red or white) - long sleeve or 3/4.
The black will make a nice line and a bit of color will make it not too "funeral". Then choose between earings or a necklace….a touch that will catch the attention elsewhere then on your figure if you are a larger gal like you said.
The final touch — Fantastic hair and simple makeup and thats it!
You should look fantastic.
As for the shoes…well I like high heels but for sure DONT WEAR FLATS.
Try a skirt that is billowy. One that isn’t going to hug the curves you despise but accent the ones you like. Go for mid calf length. This will make you look curvy. If you are comfortable in heels then go for it, if not then how about a wedge? These are a fantastic compromise to heels and absolutely fun! They also tend to be more comfortable. Try a touch open toed with a skirt. Try maybe a black skirt with a fun colored shirt and also your black shrug you were talking about. If you are going to shrug it then stay away from clunky necklaces and go simple with your jewelry!
… If you’re not a member of the wedding party, kylierenee, then certainly feel free to wear whatever you please (that’s apt, of course). The sleeveless top and shrug sounds nice, but I don’t know if black wouldn’t be depressing (except, of course, black and white is the brides color scheme) - maybe a touch in a heathered grey or lavender, with co-ordinating skirt or pants? If you reckon you’re going to be dancing a lot, or on your feet for long periods, I’d stay away from a high heel, and go with a ‘kitten heel’ or a flat. As for jewelry, it’s a small simpler to choose: the ‘fancier’ the neckline, the simpler your jewelry should be (very fancy top, single gold chain or strand of pearls, plainer top, ‘chandalier style’ necklace sounds gorgeous. And as for where to shop for the outfit, try LaneBryant.com or you could google ‘dressy plus size outfits’, and maybe find what you’re looking for - excellent luck, and best wishes!
