Is it appropriate to wear a black dress to a wedding?
My wedding day Is June 19,2010 and I’m wearing a black dress ……I am in an interracial relationship I’m wearing black he’s wearing white to represent our Love who cares what people have to say it’s about us ……….My dress is Beautiful and so will our wedding day ……Our wedding is at 6:30 pm so it’s an evening event….
** I beg to differ with most accounts above! ** Black is formal, and an evening color for a dress. Maybe it depends on the dress, but it’s not superstitousness or tradition, so much as it is what’s ‘appropriate’. In San Francisco, pastel and neon houses are common. In San Diego, pastel and neon clothes are common. In Portland, neither of these would be, and would surely draw more attention. This is because of the climate and surroundings, which we coordinate with as humans. The same goes for occasions, and for day/night clothes. Night time weddings might allow for a black dress, but it would be more appropriate for a dinner reception, than for sitting in a formal wedding procession. I would (if I was a woman, or wore drag) CHANGE between the wedding and reception if I was determined to wear black, and I would wear it with pearls, not diamonds. The very most important thing is not to overshadow the bride. Screw the groom, it just never matters. If you’re a woman, unless otherwise advise
