To wear this dress to a wedding?

[Soscaredaboutitall]

Is black a no-no for weddings? I’m really not sure whether to wear this dress or not? It’s not and long sleeved but is it too black??

Maybe with a jacket or wrap in another colour? Shoes etc.

Lovely dress!

Oooo that's lovely! Where is it from?! I think I need it! 

And yes fine to wear to winter wedding.

Thanks for the responses... I’m more confused now lol This is from ASOS

I've been to lots of weddings wearing black/others wearing black, it's a perfectly acceptable colour to wear to weddings these days, and I wouldn't even consider asking the bride or groom their opinion on it.

I wore quite a similar black dress to a wedding last month. I was not the only one in black, in fact the bride changed into a black dress later in the evening!

You will look smashing!

Gorgeous dress op and not a funeral like outfit at all, so cannot see a problem with wearing it to a wedding.

I think it’s fine!
I’m at a wedding in December right before Christmas. I have my Xmas party one week and wedding the next so I’ve ordered one dress to use for both, mainly because I’m pregnant and didn’t want to spend a fortune on maternity clothes.
I’ve gone with this... thinking of red shoes/bag/jacket and then adding fascinate for wedding?

I didn't even know this was a thing until my own wedding a few years ago and a few people got in touch to ask if it was ok to wear black.
It's a gorgeous dress, I agree with maybe colourful accessories to break up the colour a bit if you're worried x

I think it’s a gorgeous dress, but I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding myself because I’d feel odd wearing a black dress like that during the day. I think checking in with the bride is sensible, if she’s got no problems with it then go for it!

I've seen quite a lot of black at Italian weddings, very, very elegant. But maybe it doesn't work here, I don't know.

It's fine.

It's not white!!

Yes I have seen lots of black at weddings over the last 10 years and nobody has batted an eyelid. Nobody is going to think you are in mourning in that dress and I imagine black will be more popular in winter.

seen plenty of black dresses

I got married in Vegas, dusk and the two women invited wore black. One solid black and the other black background. I didn't think anything of it. They both look very sophisticated in the photographs.

I think the dress looks lovely for a winter wedding. I would wear it.

I just ask the bride.

I love black for a wedding guest! I'm very against any white, but think black is always fine. Lovely dress OP

I've seen quite a lot of black at Italian weddings, very, very elegant. But maybe it doesn't work here, I don't know.

yes love this vibe, very Dolce and Gabanna a couple of years ago

I think wear it op. Generally I avoid wearing black but there's no way that dress could be a funeral dress, its definitely a party dress. Personally at my wedding i would be fine with anyone wearing black, if your worried you can always check with the bride. Wear it with bright accessories, I like the idea of electric blue!

Might have a look for it myself actually it's lovely!

It's lovely. There are no rules...and even if there were, rules are for breaking.

PS Lots were wearing black at the Royal wedding recently too.

I would never wear black to a wedding and wouldn't want people turning up in black dresses at my wedding. But not everyone cares, so I'd say a quick chat with the bride is a good idea.

I definitely wouldn't sorry.
It's a nice dress but just not appropriate at all.

Gorgeous dress. I was at a wedding yesterday & lots of women were wearing black. Personally I would co ordinate shoes & bag with the other colour in your dress..

I would definitely wear that, it's lovely. Also, it's not totally black.

It's lovely and fine imo. What colour accessories are you wearing?

There are literally SO MANY colours. How hard can it be to not wear black or white to a wedding? In this country, black is a colour of mourning.
