| How queer is this.l have been invited to a wedding where the bride wants to wear a black wedding gown.lt is my cousins wedding and she is not a weird person.The mother of the bride is refusing to go to the wedding if the daughter wears black.The father is paying for the whole reception and is willing to go ahead with everything that his daughter wants.(She is the only daughter with 3 brothers) Apparently the bridesmaids will be wearing a hot pink.Do you think this is odd.??My aunty is really broken up about this,but my uncle is happy to go along with whatever. |

| Yes - a little. Black is a little dark - but in other cultures White is known for death or mourning - in India they usually wear red or green. For my wedding I will be wearing a Red sari. |

| Its a little odd,and I would never do it, but its what she wants. I see nothing wrong with it, in fact i went to a bridal show last year and many of the gowns featured were black or had black trim, so I guess it is becomming the trendy thing to do |

| Not at all... it's the bride's special day... if she wants a black and pink color scheme, then she should have it regardless of what anyone else thinks. |

| I don't think it weird at all! At one point I had my whole wedding planned with me in black, the bridesmaids in white and the parents in gray! I would have done it too, except my Mother had passed not quite a year prior to our wedding and I didn't want to spend my day looking like I was still in mourning, and didn't want to give my grandmother a heart attack on the spot (Mom would have been the only one to talk her through it). I also thought I looked terrible in white. I went traditional and a little part of me wishes I hadn't!Just because you don't agree with things in life, does not make them weird or wrong, just different. |

| i think its a little odd BUT its unique and since its her wedding id say leave her to it .and about the mother not going because of this that's just very sad ,she should try thinking bout her daughters happiness like her father is doing, at the end of the day, its her day and she should be able to wear what ever she wants and still have her nearest and dearest there to celebrate the special day with. |

| No. Weddings aren't so much traditional anymore. They like to show who they are and express by doing it. If that means on her most happiest day of her life she wants to wear black let her who cares it's her day not anyone elses. I know I won't get the best answer but hey that is my opinion as probably the same are you cousins. |

| Not my style but I have sold dresses in the last couple of years in dark burgundy, pink, royal blue all kinds of weird colors. It is really up to her and if she wants to wear black, so be it. Yea, it might be weird in the traditional sense, but it is in the eye of the beholder and if that is what she wants let her have it. After all, this is her day, not ours. |

| Not at all. I wore black to my wedding. After all its her wedding and she should have the wedding including the gown of her choice. What a mean mother to refuse to go because of the dress colour. I cant wait till my daughter gets married and I only care about her happieness not what she wears. |

| No, I do NOT find this odd.Go show the mother of the bride this site.http://offbeatbride.com/Please show the mom all the photos and let her read about these happy weddings.What I find odd is the mother refusing to attend her daughter's wedding. Why ruin the relationship with her daughter over something so trivial as the color of a dress? Explain to mom that non-traditional weddings are becoming more frequent. Ask her to please reconsider her decision.And yes, I am probably old enough to be this bride's mother too. Please tell mom this request comes from someone her own age. The relationship with her daughter is much, much more important . . . than daughter's decision to do something a bit non-traditional. I know that deep in her heart she does NOT want to miss out on daughter's wedding. |

| I guess she can wear whatever she wants to her wedding. If hot pink and black are her wedding colors, it would probably make more sense for her to wear hot pink and the attendants to wear black, but I guess it's up to her. The tradition of the white wedding gown if fairly recent, and started with the lower classes wearing their undergarments for their wedding because they couldn't afford to buy an expensive formal gown. The upper classes saw it, liked it and had their seamstresses make their wedding dresses in white. Maybe if she tells her mom that the white wedding dress originated with the tramps and trollops of the 1800s, she would be more appreciative of her daughter's color choice. |
