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??

Personally I wouldn't, black is for funerals, but not everyone stocks by this rule now especially for winter formal weddings

I wear black to every wedding I attend. It’s fine.

I always wear black to weddings! It’s fine!

Lovely dress. You could accessorise it with something lighter like cream or with a brighter colour.

I think it’s fine, the black is very much broken up by the sheer sleeves and the dots. Not that I have a problem with black for weddings anyway. Thinks are more relaxed these days I think, just about making the effort to dress up and having some fun with it.

Dress looks gorgeous. I don't see any problem with wearing it, as long as you wear something bright with it.

Think it’s perfect, lovely for a winter wedding. Times have changed and I think it’s ok to wear black, anything that doesn’t look like a wedding dress is fine.

It's a gamble. If every guest thinks like you, it will look like a funeral, so, I'd avoid going in an all black outfit and add some colour to it with accessories.

I wore black to a December wedding last year & thought nothing of it. It was clearly a black party dress rather than something someone would wear to a funeral.

It’s a lovely dress, perhaps accessorise with some red shoes, bag etc to brighten up

Lovely dress. I don’t see the problem for a winter wedding. Actually I don’t see the problem with black at a wedding at all. Just like I mix bright colours with some black for funerals.

I think your dress is lovely and don't see a problem with black at weddings. I've often worn black dresses and once wore a black hat with a veil too, possibly risky but much admired on the day. I agree with other posters, you often see people wearing black now, particularly if the wedding is going on into the evening.
(Thinking about it, all my hats are actually black too).

I don't see the problem. Assume all those brides who would object are saving themselves for marriage if they're wearing white...?

I would add coloured shoes and bag etc but nowadays black isn’t as much of a nono for weddings as it was years ago.

Its absolutely lovely. I wore a long sleeved black lace dress from warehouse to a wedding recently with animal print heels! Wear what you feel comfortable in 😉

If that’s you in the picture I wouldn’t let you within ten miles of my intended.. far too gorgeous. If not, wear away, beautiful dress. Totally inappropriate for a funeral therefore......

Personally I wouldn't wear it, but more because unless the wedding is completely inside it will be completely ruined by whatever coat you need to wear to be warm

Don't check with the bride, it looks lovely it's a winter wedding so I think it's fine. No black is traditional but so was no sex, kids, living together before marriage and we have all done away with all of that!

I wore black as a bridesmaid to a July wedding (brides choice obviously), no one has ever said anything to me about it. I think it's fine at any wedding.

It's lovely. I wore a black lacy number to my brothers wedding. I was surprised at the 'black isn't done' comments on here (I had posted to see if it was acceptable) as I had never heard of it. Wore it anyway, no one said anything.

PLEASE tell us where it's from...

Wear it, it is lovely...

Jesus what century is this? Check with the bride? LMAO. Of course wear the dress.... who gives a shiny shit what colour you wear ( barring a full length white gown which might raise eyebrows). Even some old duffer from the Royal Household said it was OK so if that bunch of dinosaurs can move with the times then so can you I’m sure. Have fun.

I think the dress is lovely, but I wouldn't wear it to a wedding just in case. Why risk causing offence when there are plenty of other options available?

I wouldn't personally be offended by it though. My MOH wore black to my wedding. She looked fucking amazing!

If it’s an evening wedding I wouldn’t think twice about it. Daytime, then it depends on how you wear it; not too stark a silhouette against the light I hope. I’ve seen some nice suggestions. Anyway, after a few glasses of wine, no one’s going to care or remember :) Enjoy!
