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

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!
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.
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

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.
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.

Re: NTR: Anyone else think this? No black to weddings
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
Totally agree!

My bms wore black and I see no issue with wearing it to weddings.
I also wear color to funerals though.
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!
baby #4 due March '17!
It's weird to me to NOT wear black, lol
