Wearing black to a wedding


Question Posted Friday May 18 2007, 7:45 am

My cousin is getting married this weekend. It's not a religious wedding. There is no official dress code, but the bride said to my sister that we should wear anything that makes us feel gorgeous and we can dance in.

I am wearing a navy dress that I think is dressy without being the kind of thing that you would only wear to a wedding (I might wear it to a very nice restrurant or a grown-up party). My younger sister (19) is worried about what she should wear. I was going to lend her a dress of mine in a similar style to the one I'm wearing, but it's black. Is this inappropriate for a wedding that doesn't have a dress code, but isn't totally casual? The only other dresses I could lend her are really formal, and I would be worried she'd be overdressed.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't wear black to a wedding, black is for funerals, wear like a red or something bright that's supposed to be happy& upbeat. :)

The dress is good. Just don't wear black stockings, black shoes, or a black hat. Try and wear some gold or silver shoes. Alsok wear some jewelry and that will make the occasion worth it.

No and neither is the navy blue dress.

Formal, unformal and being casual, open dress code, no matter what...it is spring and spring colors should be worn.

Not winter colors or dark colors, and black is reserved for the little black evening dress out on the town, and FUNERALS!

she'll be fine =] no dress code = wear anything you want.. usually they don't wear hardcore formal dresses because it takes away from the brides beautiful dress. so yeah lend her your dress and all will be well =]

it's not common for a wedding to have a certain dress code. Wedding you should wear something nice like girls wear a nice dress and guys wear suits or tuxs. So yeah you should loan her your dress to make it look nice.
