Unless its specified it would be semi-formal like any wedding. Are there really that few done in church now that people don't know what to wear?

What would you wear if it weren't in a church?

I barely survived yesterday & its already today!
You can wear whatever you like, however if it were me I'd wear a dress or a skirt. Depending on the dress code as to how formal I'd go. If there's no dress code & you can't ask them, go by how formal the invite is. If my DH were groomsman, I'd go a little more formal than normal, sober could get some nice photos together. You could go a short heel, or even a heel for photos & take flats? My cousin is having a garden wedding & I have a knee length black lace dress. I want to find hot pink heels, but I'll also take flats or thongs rather than bare feet. LOL

The church weddings I have been to ate more formal in general then other weddings. Whilst we had a minister do our wedding it was not in a church, I know some of the guests would not have worn the length or cleavage they did if it had been in the church. But where I am from you dress modest for church not too short and not too boobie for a start.

Pretty much the same as any other wedding, except I would probably dress up a bit more if our partner is a groomsman - get some lovely photos done! Probably not a short skirt unless you have great legs and want to show them off! probably not a singlet top or anything too low/skimpy.
