    I agree. I'm fine with people wearing what they want to our wedding, including jeans.

    Nah if you want to wear black, have at it! It's one of our colors so they would match.

    Nah. I see a lot of people wear black to weddings. It seems like a much safer choice than white Smiley smile

    Black is always a good color in my opinion. I'm glad a lot of brides feel the same way!

    If it is bad to wear black I didnt know it. Last wedding we went to I wore black. It was a saturday evening wedding in November. Never thought about black being a problem.

    NAH, I’m a bit of traditionalist so I wouldn’t (and I asked the mom’s to avoid black) but I’m not going to be offended or annoyed is someone wears a black dress. It’s a staple! And an easy to find color Smiley smile
