i wear black a lot and so does my mom..when we went to my uncles wedding, my mom had a black shirt with red roses and black pants..i had a black dress with gold on the edge of the top and bottom of the dresss, and wore black platform boots. my uncle didn't mind.
but i notice that some poeple would think i am "in grief"..or summin..
may be my uncle didn't mind because we are all jews in the family..
does it depend on your religion? i mean on one hand i heared christians think that black is a color of death/grief..but my aunt is christian..and she didn't care..in fact she complimented my dress..other people liked my differant style (boots)
help?? hehe

Two thoughts, one, make sure that you are not taking attention away from the bride. That is most important. It is not about you, it is about her and her husband. You should look nice, look like you are respecting the date, and look in a way where people don't pay attention to you.
Second, if you were in Japan black would be fine. There white is the dress code for funerals. So cultural does count a great bit. But mostly ask you self if what you are wearing will show that you respect the event.

Sometimes wearing black @ a wedding is more noticeable if it's during the daytime. I had an evening wedding & even my bridesmaids had cool black cocktail dresses on, so I think it's up to the individual. I'm sure you & your mom looked gorgeous. The problem is that there are a lot of old fashioned people out there who do think that black is an inappropriate color for that occasion, & religion has nothing to do w/ it. But hey, if you weren't totally gothed-out, then a little black dress is perfect any time! Hope this helped :)

Well not all weddings are TRADITIONAL take mine the we are planning for instance (we've got a year n half to go) but we decided so far western wear or causual wear. Now if the invitation didnt say traditional or ask that you wear certain clothes or the couple ask you then I think that black is alright in fact instead of wearing white to our wedding I already plan on eithe wearing all black ........lol my black western top/black jeans/n pants or if it's the causaul way blue blue blue lol ne ways...........no I do think it's ok to wear black to a wedding thats like my uncle's funeral people thought it was kind of rude that I only wore blue which I was only doing as my uncle had once asked me to do if he were to pass on he would prefer us to not wear black and to throw a party after the funeral

It really depends on the people. Some people really do not care, and some do. Like, my family. If I wore black, they would give me a hard time.
Once I wore a black HIM shirt on easter and goth-like pants ( this was 2 years ago ) and people were staring at me.
I am not into that stuff anymore. It was just a weird stage I was going through and I was 16 and young, so yeah.
But I think wearing black is fine. Some people don't. At least your family is okay about it. That is all thatt matters.

i might merely choose for to show out that traditionally adult males placed on black to weddings- formal placed on is often black for adult males, the different shade and persons of each and every age and gender laugh. whilst is the final time you took a guy in a powder blue tux heavily- or in keeping with possibility a pink tournament? hmmm no? i assumed so! And no person however the bride ought to be wearing white at a marriage- it extremely is merely cheesy. It fairly relies upon on the time of day and the formality of the form based on the colours you ought to placed on. A christening is often an afternoon time adventure and hence ought to be lighter or brighter shade outfits. yet weddings can happen any time of day and colours ought to be executed as a effect. there are circumstances that black is cheesy at a marriage, you be attentive to to love an afternoon backyard wedding ceremony, or a sea coast wedding ceremony, yet a night wedding ceremony its completely desirable. it would be marvelous however if human beings nonetheless cared approximately this sort of component, while you're so in contact in how enormous your butt seems in a pair of pants hit the well-being midsection!

It was your uncles wedding and he did not mind, stop worrying about it. Today at times the bride may wear black. We have come along way and dressing for a wedding is not as it use to be, very conservative and straight forward. The only rules now I believe is whatever makes one happy. God bless

one of my friends had the same problem, when she told us, "i have this really cool black dress" we just kinda said , oh way cool emily! but then she told us it was for a wedding, then we where all kinda, umm cool? yeah. i think that a black at a wedding would be ok, but then again. Don't take it overboard and take away notice from the bride, because it the brides time-to-shine. I also do not think that religion has anything to do with it.

As long as it's dressy, black is fine at a wedding. Not like you showed up totally goth, in other words. Black is classy and formal. I've worn black dresses to weddings, even my own the second time!

I don't think that there is anything wrong with wearing black to a wedding. In today's day, even brides wear black to their own weddings. Just keep it classy and pretty, not gothic black.

I don't think it's an issue, unless you're the bride, and if that's your personal taste, than your family and friends shouldn't really be surprised. I'm expecting my sister to wear either black or red for her wedding, they're her two favorite colours!
