can I?

It is such a lovely dress and does suit me and I feel nice in it.

It is black with red and white floewrs on, much nicer than it sounds, and I have red shoes to go with it.

But should i waer black?

If not, find me a dress!!!!!
Please.

I think you should wear it.

Ceolas · 18/05/2007 13:24

why not?

sounds nice to me

MrsBadger · 18/05/2007 13:28

oh yes absolutey wear it

if it was (eg) a black office suit, or an all-black ensemble with a funereal veil I might say otherwise, but a flowery dress of any colour is fine for a wedding.

My witness did (at my civil ceremony).

She looked better than me.

To answer the OP, go for it.

Yes, fine to wear black to weddings these days!

Yay. It's white that's more of a faux pas.

I wore a black flowery skirt to a wedding a few years back, I don't think it's too much of a big deal these days. And the couple are still very happy so it obviously didn't jinx anything!

A word of warning if in the opposite direction! I wore nonbalck to a funeral the other day, every other funeral I'd been to before then was half black half colours we're celebrating etc. BIG mistake. The whole lot bar noen wore blakc. I wa sonly in dark brown and white but nevertheless, sore thumb is what comes to mind...never again.

A friend asked if her boyfriend could wear jeans to our wedding. i said yes, and he was the only bloke there in jeans. I think he felt a bit embarrassed.

Definately, I was at a wedding last year and the bride wore black! I wore black and white patterned skirt with black vest and cardi, sounds like you like the dress so go for it!
