Question:
hi am Denise from Malta i really want to ask if the sister of the groom can wear a black dress for an evening wedding . thanks for your help regards Denise
Answer:
Here are the traditional rules: A black dress is never appropriate to wear to a wedding. A white dress is never worn to the wedding because the bride wears white and a red dress is never worn because it draws attention away from the bride. These are the traditional rules, however, at a highly formal wedding the black dress might be acceptable. In days gone by the black dress worn to a wedding signified the wearer's unhappiness over the wedding. Black and white weddings are becoming more more popular with the bridesmaids in black dresses. I would recommend that you consult with the bride and ask her how she feels about your wearing a black dress. As long as she's OK with it, then it should be fine.
