NTR: Anyone else think this? No black to weddings

Crissyjo30 · April 2010

I don't know why but I can't wear black to a wedding. My Mom is the same way, must be where I got it from - but to me, black is for funerals, you should wear color to weddings - its a celebration! Sorry, wedding dress post below got me thinking

Nope not me. I usually wear black to weddings (at least ones that are black-tie)

If it wasn't black tie, then it would depend on the day, time, season, and place - maybe I'll add color then

I always wear black.

Nope I wear black to everything. I am told it's an East coast thing though just like we give cash at weddings not gifts

I hear what you're saying...but I just don't think you can go wrong with a little black dress. If you dress it up with some colorful accessories, it's not depressing. Also black almost always looks sophisticated and slimming so I'm a big fan!

I am the same way.

Well, my bridesmaids wore black and so did my mom...so I don't see anything wrong with it. I mean, obviously don't put on the hat and veil and gloves...but black doesn't always have to be depressing. It can also be seen as classy.

My mom gave me away and wore black long, strapless dress. Men all wore black tux

Totally agree!

I wear black to weddings and see people do it all the time. My bridesmaids wore black dresses and everyone said they were the best looking bridal party they've ever seen

Heh. Black was the color of my bridemaids. I thought it looked great.

My bms wore black and I see no issue with wearing it to weddings.

I also wear color to funerals though.

thomas&lynn · April 2010

I always thought this as well but since I've lived here I see tons of black being worn so I gave it a try at the last wedding I attended and loved it

I've worn black to evening weddings.

But if you're not comfortable with it, then don't do it :-) Not wearing black will probably really make you stand out, actually!

I am no help. I LOVE black. I had a black and white wedding. It was beautiful.

miss.jess · April 2010

I love wearing black, it is timeless and slimming.

And oddly enough, I have been invited to funerals where we are asked NOT to wear black. They wanted it to be a celebration of life, not a mourning.

I'd be less likely to wear black to a midday wedding than an evening affair, but... yeah, brides have their wedding party in black all the time these days. I think black at wedding is generally okay. Even classy.

*sallymad* · April 2010

It's weird to me to NOT wear black, lol

i think black=formal. funerals are formal, but so are weddings, so it is acceptable at either. MIL wore black to our wedding, as did some others. i only got pissed at a friend of DH's who showed up uninvited in jeans.
