I know black is "for" funerals... and I bought this super cute Springy white halter dress with pink and green flowers, but I cannot find the right shade of pink or green shoes to match and that stresses me out! I know I'm not supposed to wear white shoes after Labor Day, true or just a myth? so then I fell back on this adorable short strapless black dress I have to accessorize with red shoes, red bracelets, etc... is that off limits as well?! Thanks

Hello Green Eyes.
Nothing wrong wearing black at a wedding. I think you'll look fabulous. :)

Depends on the wedding...if it's an evening wedding in the fall or winter, black is appropriate. If it's happening outside or in the spring or summer, black may be uncomfortable, but not necessarily off limits. And don't worry about the white shoes after labor day...that's just lame and if you feel good wearing it then do so! Have fun!

I think that rule is for little old church ladies only. lol! I mean look at all the incrediablly cute white boots and white ski clothes. Wear the white shoes...if you do buy pink of green shoes you will probually only wear them one time. You will get more use out of the white ones!
The last few night weddings I have went to allot of people were wearing black. YOung and old alike. I am in the wedding industry and having the bridesmaids in black is also increasingly popular!

Yeah, you can wear black to a wedding in the fall/winter. That's fine... I wouldn't go with the white shoes after labor day if you live in a northern state though. If you're in Florida, yeah go for it! Michigan? Definitely not!
I'm not sure if I would go with red accessories though. Red &
If you have a DSW in your area, go there and look for shoes! They've got a great selection and every color imaginable! Plus the prices aren't bad either!

NEVER wear black to a wedding!!!!! To me that is just disrespectful. White shoes after labor day I dont see any harm in so go for that if you would like, I dont see what the big deal that people make of that anyways.

The white after labor day is not a myth it was a style of the past and very rarely is adhered to today. and white shoes should be okay.
I say wear what you FEEL good in so you shine!
The black dress sound great and I would wear that if you feel that your going to look great- I would say since it's fall Black will be fine.
Be yourself

Black is perfectly acceptable at weddings now (especially evening weddings). White is the only color you should avoid. And I'm pretty sure that all the fashion mags say that white after Labor Day is okay now. At least last time I checked.

Some people are superstitious about anyone wearing black to a wedding....Like you wouldn't wear white and outshine the bride. It is her day. . The first outfit you picked sounds perfect. Wear whatever shoes you want to.
