The wedding is formal, my husband will be wearing a black tux... it is at 4:00 PM followed by a reception with dinner and dancing..... the skirt of the gown is black but does have the same flowers and bead work running the length of the dress down one side/front.

Come on, guys trying to answer questions about the bride's view and the wedding. WHATEVER. (had a wedding) So I speak from experience. At my wedding the last thing on my mind was what everyone else was wearing. AS long as you don't have on a fancier dress than the bride and as long as you aren't wearing black as a statement of how you feel towards the bride there is no problem. The way you described the dress seems like it'd be pretty. (and some people do where pink to funerals). Although the wedding is about what the bride wants. so You may want to ask her opinion, just so there will be no problems. But I think it will be fine.

Now of course I think the bride should approve before you do, but I have seen full black and white weddings which were beautiful. And when my best friend got married her now husband's mother word a casual black dress and still looked amazing. There is nothing that says you can't. Just make sure not to step on the toes of the happy couple.

I have seen many women wear black to weddings (the mothers of the bride and groom did so at the last wedding I attended). The point is not to draw attention away from the bride and it doesn't sound like your dress will do so. Show her your support and I promise she will think nothing of the black dress.

It sounds lovely however the thought is to make sure that you do not out dress the mother of the bride. Traditionally you are not supposed to wear black to a wedding but few follow tradition any longer and the bridesmaids now often wear black

Black is certainly a formal color, and is permissable at an evening wedding. The dress sounds lovely. But just to be on the safe side, you may want to okay it with the bride.

i think your best option is to show it to the bride or wedding planner. Like I wouldn't want my mother in law to wear something that would make me feel bad, and if she would ask me before hand, I would really appreciate it. After all, it's her wedding, and is a very special day for her and her future husband, so there is no need to make her feel bad or sad in case she doesn't like the dress. i think a blackgownfor a wedding is not a good idea, but if it has silver flowers and accents i think it's fine, but again, it depends on her, so just show it to her and ask her if it's ok, she'll appreciate the trust and the gesture and you'll appreciate the feedback.

I would generally avoid wearing black at a wedding, unless that color scheme is the bride's choice. Even then, it would primarily be the bridesmaid dresses which would be black. Do you know what the bride's mother and the groom's mother going to be wearing? You might want to go with something similar - by that I mean that if they are wearing pastel colors, you might also want to. If they are wearing strong primary colors, you might also want to. Bottom line, if you are not sure about your dress - ask the bride.

Ask the bride first; but I don't see why not. When my fiance's brother got married, I wore a floor length black gown. I was the one who handed out the programs and I did a reading, so it wasn't like I was hidden in the corner. Black is classic, not just for mourning.

If the bride doesn't mind, why should anyone else? When my partner and I are married, I am thinking of having a black, white and gold theme for our wedding - bridesmaids in black and white dresses, or black dresses with white flowers. Your dress and your husband's outfit sound very smart and I am sure your stepdaughter will be pleased.

no, that would be very disrespectful of the bride, when someone wears black to some ones wedding it means you don't approve of it at all. Wear colors like blue or pink. Even white is good. Just don't wear black unless you don't want this wedding to happen.
