Thats a hard one! For me, its a tie between 2, 3, 4 and 9. Im sure that is of no help, lol!

Do you guys think that a floral print is OK for a black tie wedding?

murphyec · April 2010

I think #3 and #7 are too showy for a wedding. I always stick to simple, yet elegant dresses for weddings, so I know I won't draw attention away from the bride at all. That being said, I think most of the others up there would be perfectly fine. And floral would be fine too as long as it the fabric is "fancy" (ie no cotton).

It was a tie between 2 and 7 for me. 9 is gorgeous, but despite the length it looks less formal than the other ones for me.

I like 4 6 and 9

I wouldn't do short for black tie-ever.

I like #7 by leaps and bounds. It's very elegant.

Like PP said, I would definately do long for a black tie affair. And #7 is my fav too.

Agreed I also love #2! Is it the same dress as 7 just in a different color?

Also, FWIW, Europeans tend to be more formal when it comes to black tie events (my entire family is in Belgium so this is coming from a Belgian perspective No way would I wear a short dress to a black tie wedding in Europe! I think it's more acceptable in the US, though I still prefer long.

I love #7. I'm a huge fan of one shoulder and a huge fan of ruffles:)

The Brits are indeed more formal; you need to go with a long gown for a black tie wedding.

Have a great trip!!

I voted #8 because it will elongate you. #7 looks great on the model, but given that you're only 5'2" I think that the ruffles will look like too much on your frame.

Ditto PP that even in the States, true black-tie means you need to wear a long dress.

2 looks like a moo moo dress
