Is wearing black to a wedding a big faux pas?

[IntergalacticWalrus]

Going to a wedding on Saturday.

Planning to wear black (not all black, but mainly)

DP says it's a no no as too funereal.

Whadda ya reckon?

Don't you know beauty is in the eye of the beholder & only skin deep!

I am wearimg black, red and white dress to a wdding in the spring. And red showes.
I did ask the bride and she was quite happy for me to do so!¬

Oi - Walrus - come up and raid my bag/shawl/pashmina collection and if you're size 4.5 - 5 you can borrow some shoes too - I also have a variety of hats !!

And she isn't fat BTW !!

I have big ugly sister style feet, so I don;t think I'd get your dinky little crystal slippers on yiam!!!!!!! I might be up for bag raiding though. The bag is a sticking point.

Ok, some stuff I ordered a few weeks ago, which I thought wouldn't arrive in time for sat is here now, so I won't be wearing black.

I will now be wearing a chocolately brown coloured skirt, and possibly a dark pinky top, I haven't decided yet.

Brown and pink sounds lovely - didn't you say you had a pink pashmina? Problem solved

Just need a bag now.

Why the fuck do I leave it all to the last minute?

glad i found this.i have wedding in a week my dh neice.my nicest dresss is black but wasnt sure if i should or not.

Ok Walrus - I have brown bags and a soft chocolatey pashmina

And of course my wardrobe is groaning with crystal slippers !!!

I am planning to wear a black knee-length shift dress (with a silver sequin bit around the neck), nude tights and high black shoes with a smart cream three-quarter-sleeved mac to a wedding in Ireland in April. Does this seem ok? Worried now about wearing black ...

Some women wore black to our wedding, think it's increasingly de rigueur when there's an evening do...wouldn't worry about it.

I wanted to wear green to a wedding but dh said 'no, it's bad luck' got there and loads of peple were wearing green. Did some research on why green is viewed as bad luck and turns out it's 'cos years ago, it implied you had been 'rolling in the grass' before the wedding, but only relevant for brides, not guests, love green and pink together though!

I wouldn't wear all white to a wedding though, lol! Would with other colours to break it up.

my sister wore black to my wedding
she was worried i would be cross
it didn't even occur to me
she looked lovely.
