Answer:
You can wear black to an evening or late afternoon wedding. I'm sure you will look lovely. It might be a tad too severe for a morning wedding, however black is becoming very fashionable in bridesmaid's dresses. I think you will be OK with wearing it, and you could brighten it a bit with a colorful scarf or jewelry and a big brooch.
