| Is it appropriate to wear a black dress to a wedding? The wedding will be held in a small church with a dinner reception following. |

| As long as the style is appropriate (not too low cut or revealing), then I don't see why it would be a problem. |

| Is it an evening wedding? For an evening wedding that is a bit dressier, a black dress would definitely be appropriate. For a day wedding, it would depend on how dressy the event is, but I don't think the color itself should be a problem - just give it a splash of color |

| Absolutely. Last few weddings I went to most were wearing black dresses. I wore red and someone said they were happy to see some actual color! |

| A black dress should be fine. You might want to liven it up a little with an accent color. Like a colored purse, scarf, belt, cardigan/coat or shoes. |

| Yes, black is fine. It was once thought of as inappropriate, but these days many people wear black to weddings because it is elegant, understated, and classy! |

| Black is the best way to go to convey elegance and very appropriate for dinner reception and church weddings. The only time I personally feel they aren't the best for are morning/early afternoon weddings or outside venues where the weather prohibits it. ie The Keys at noon.. |

| Yes, black is no longer taboo. I've attended many weddings in the past few year (mostly Italian Catholic Weddings too). Most women (both young and old) were dressed in black. I was one of them. Unless you are wearing a frock, a simply black cocktail dress (also referred to as a party dress) is very elegant and classy.I've never seen anyone looked at negatively for wearing black to a wedding. Ironically, I've seen people in bright colors (like hot pink or blue) looked at in a less then positive way. |

Nowadays this is fine. It seems to be the rules have changed. I also have feaked out over this! How many women own a pantsuit or dress that is NOT black! I had no idea what to wear!For one wedding, I wore a black suit with colorful earrings and a red sparkly top.For the wedding I just attended, I wore black dress pants and a purple v-neck to the daytime ceremony, and a black dressy top, black pants, and sparkly earrings to the evening reception. I was worried at first, but there were quite a few others also wearing black.Add some colored heels (I wore sexy white boots), earrings, etc. and you are looking hot!Just note, you may want to wear some extra color for a very early daytime ceremony. A light top with black pants for example. At the very least, if wearing a dress, add a colored belt or shawl. You can remove them later. I always prefer to be safe than sorry!Have fun!  |
