Can you wear black to a wedding?

Aliasojo, please post a photgraph of your new dress, not necessarily you in it, just the dress....

Enjoy the wedding

Soft hugs

I like them. All colours.

I looked at them in Clarks when I was in.

I wouldn't wear them for anything other than casual though. Definitely would with jeans.

Yes, I'd only wear them with jeans. The playground mum whose shoes I always admire wears them with jeans or trousers.

Did you find some shoes for the dress?

Attend weddings. Regularly.

I've lost half a stone this week and I haven't eaten any differently. It's solely down to all the running around I've been doing.

If I could find a wedding to go to...say ...once a month, I'd be thin by Xmas. :rotfl:

Clearly an indication I need to move more.

Move to Gretna and become a professional wedding witness?

I think black is fine to wear to a wedding, especially if it is jazzed up with some bright accessories

The only colour that I really do think is unacceptable is white, especially white lacy dresses, on female wedding guests.

As someone who got married yesterday, and who wore a very untraditional dress, I would have been a little offended if anyone had worn black.

Black is for funerals and NOT for weddings!

Would you? Really? I think that I have been to many weddings where guests have worn cream and black, black and white, pink and black etc. It is a base colour to be dressed with an accent colour imo.

And....Congratulations, I hope you had a great day, but, shouldn't you still be in bed?;):rotfl:

Black as a second colour would be ok, but just not all or predominantly black!

Bed?? We have a toddler and a puppy - we consider 7am a luxury!

Getting married Tuesday - eeeee - our colours ARE red and black. I've got a red dress and red shoes and will be carrying a posy of red roses. HWMNBO is wearing black with a red tie.

I wore a black suit for my first wedding, back when I was a punk:rotfl::rotfl:, and also a black dress and jacket with silver accessories for my Daughter's wedding in March:DBoth looked great.My bugbear is guests who wear white to weddings;)

People have different views about how to dress for events.

I wouldn't take offence at someone's choice unless I knew it had been done with the intention of upsetting me.
