is it ok to wear all black to a wedding?

[swifter]

My dad is getting married in a couple of weeks and am wearing gorgeous black wide leg tousers and have seen a gorgeous black lace tunic in limited collection (m and s). reck will look fab with said trousers and killer heels but maybe too black, like im going to a funeral (although might as well be)

What do you lovelies think?

PS-am size 16/18 so black is lovely and slimming!

your v cheery mars think phoning bride is good idea- thanks cod

adn do giver her the chance ot say now ihout offending oyu
say "i have balck or ..."( make up a colour)" whuich do oyu prefer"

aren't trouser suits kind of officy and middle aged though?

As long as you don't wear black I'll remain cheery!

Amen, Mars!

I've put it in my will, NO black at my funeral.

I'm going to haunt anyone who wears black or plays shite music or brings bad food to my wake.

would navy make you slightly happier mars??

what about this?

I wear far too much black. Fallen for the black is slimming myth!

But agree all black a bit severe for a wedding imo.

No, trousers suits don't have to be officy and middle aged at all!

The new Trinny and Susannah featured on the other day that was FAB.

Wow.

Not black, either.

or this???

i like black at funerals. i want everyone in full on weeds at mine.

dislike it at weddings, sorry, although this outfit sounds nice.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm only marginally happier!

What's your colouring? Hair, skintone etc.

olivish skin, dark curlish hair to shoulder TBH can get away with more than black - god that sound nobish!!

Right............. in that case... I challenge you to find a lovely bright coloured outfit for your father's day of celebration.

No dark dull colours. No nasty limes, olives, mustards, bleurrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh colours.

RIGHT!! in that case- challenge on! I will be back tomoz wih revised wardrobe!

Praise God, Hallelujah... now I can sleep!

See you tomorrow!

The world is your oyster, swifter, w/that colouring!

I have fair skin, but yellow undertones, and dark hair and eyes.

You can wear LOTS of colours. In fact, pastels will just wash out your skin.

Well...........???????????????????

It's Saturday!!!!!!!!

Come on come one!

I've got to go out shortly and probably won't be back till late tomorrow!

What have you found?

i have hot pink short jacket in wardrobe from whistles that sounds hideous but is divine. Can i wear that with black trousers??? (am skintos so dont want to spend loadsa money x)

My witness wore all black to my (reg office) wedding. A lovely long velvet dress. She looked better than me

see mars!! i do still think all black can be tres chic!

what abut this top? with black trews and really high heels??

I haven't read all the replies (sorry) but I think you can definitely wear all black to a wedding (esp a winter wedding!! I don't think black looks out of place at a wedding. The only colour you shouldn't wear top to to at a wedding is the same as the bride!!!
Go with your initial outfit I reckon!!

Black is considered the v. much the thing to wear for weddings in Italy, I think you should go for it if that's what you fancy. Maybe you shouldn't ask me though as I wore black to my OWN WEDDING (ducks down out of line of fire of horrified comments).

Black is perfect for a winter wedding, would be different if it was July.

Just wear your original outfit , I am sure you will look fab!
