How can a daytime walima dress code differ from an evening indoor reception?

Answer

Direct answer

A daytime walima may invite different fabric, lighting and comfort choices, but it does not impose a universal colour or outfit rule.

Use the invitation and venue to judge formality. Check how the chosen clothing looks in daylight, whether the setting is outdoors and what weather protection is needed. An evening indoor reception may have different lighting and temperature, so test the actual layers rather than buying by a day-versus-night label alone. Hosts' clear preferences take priority over general styling assumptions.
