Black And White Dress To Wedding

Despite the custom it is now quite common to see wedding guests wearing a little black dress at ceremonies.

Black and white dress to wedding. I was raised to dress up when attending a wedding and no matter the venue or time of day a black dress just like white was never an option as a guest. However if the wedding you re attending is formal or black tie sparkly gowns are usually okay just don t go too overboard and wear something that could be construed as a wedding dress. And if you re thinking of wearing a dress to the celebration look for options that feature fabrics like lace velvet satin or tulle.

My mum wore black to a white tie rehearsal dinner recently at a royal wedding in albania. This is because tradition says that black looks too funereal while white would appear to compete with the bride. So if you do choose to wear black to a wedding make sure your look is in good taste.

The key is to choose a black piece that s festive formal and special enough to not be mistaken for funeral attire. I had spent ages looking for something suitable even forgoing a very cool black fendi dress. Neon overly bright hues are among the colors not to wear to a wedding because again you don t want to steal the spotlight from the newlyweds.
