Allright, I am 4 mos pregnant now and have to go to my fiancees brothers wedding in January. I am having a very very hard time finding a dress I like for the reception. I know that traditionally it's not appropriate to wear black to a wedding, but #1 most maternity formal wear is black and #2 their colors are black and red and white. Will I look bad if I choose a black dress? Maybe if I accesorize with red? Please help?!?!

If they've broken tradition to do black and red (and white) at a wedding, you should be okay. But you can also simply buy something that's 2-piece. You're pregnant and 2-piece would be considered very common sense. You can get a black skirt (that can be used throughout your pregnancy and then a fancier top.

Can't find navy blue? Check on eBay-Try a large patterned shawl of many colors as an accessory. The Black will look like background. Go to a maternity shop where the sales women work on commission and tell one of your problem. Give her your telephone/email and beg her to look for something that's not black that will work for you.

You can wear black to a wedding reception. I've even seen the mother-of-the-bride wear black.

Wear black, and don't worry about it. Your fiancees brother will understand.
If their colors are black and red, I wouldn't be surprised if there were many people in darker colored gowns, specifically if it happens to be an evening wedding.

Black is always classic! Many people wear black to a wedding.

In this day and age, no one will hate you if you wear black. Accessorize with red--shoes, maybe a scarve, pretty earrings. You are pregnant! Don't worry so much.
Good luck and have fun!

Black gives a slimming effect. It can do wonders for you particularly with your present situation. Teem it up with bright red
accesories (scurf,veil,dupatta .handbag etc.) This will give a gorgeous effect. Wear jewellary befitting your personality. Wear make that goes well with your complexion.

Wear a black empire-cut dress, and tie a red sash around your bodice. Bring along a red or burgundy scarf too.
Very chic and in fashion. :)

I totally agree with Vintage Princess.
And you won't look bad at all. Don't worry.
Maybe add some matching red shoes.
Good luck!
