No, don't listen to these people!!! If a woman wears black to a wedding (unless specifically asked to wear black by the hosts), it symbolizes that she does not approve of the marriage (hence she is treating it like a funeral). Etiquette hasn't gone away, people just ignore it now!

It is not really appropriate. Black is acceptable to wear to an evening wedding/reception, but shouldnt be worn to a daytime wedding. Alot of people still get upset at others wearing black to a wedding even in the evening. You are just all around better off picking a different colored dress.

Absolutely! It is a late afternoon wedding that will go well into the evening .... go for it. I would suggest dressing it up with long, shiny earrings and a simple purse. You will not need anything more than that. ALSO - wear sheer black nylons and black pumps! Have a great time.

I recently went to a 3:00 wedding and there were tons of people wearing black. as long as you wear nice jewelery and you don't look like your going to a funeral there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing black.

I wouldn't, but if you do want to wear it you could wear a jacket, scarf or belt or accessories that are not black so that your overall look isn't too somber. Solid black with black accessories would be a little too Soap Opera ex-girlfriend -- all you would need is dramatic make-up and dark sunglasses!

Black is very sophisticated for an evening out, but not a wedding thats just too much, you can wear grey its not so intense and its very versatile.

Why not as long as it is classy, makes you feel good in it! That is what it is all about! By the time the wedding part is over, It will turn into a cocktail dress!!!! And you will look fabulous!!!!!

I think black is acceptable now. Just dress it up with a colorful scarf or jewelry.

i dont see why not. black is very fashionable. it just goes with anything....unless of course that girl happens to be the bride then black would be a little weird....

Depend. If is a chinese wedding, no black. If it is a western one, no problem.
