Wedding apparel?

[jasper17]

What does one wear to a wedding that starts at noon?

Is black a no-no?

I had been planning to wear a black, slightly below the knee dress with a lime green, 3/4 sleeve cardigan over it but now I'm starting to think it might not be appropriate.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

I think its fine. I went to a wedding and I wore black pants and a dressy shirt...I saw a lot of poeple wear bright colors like red, pink, blue, white, and even hawaiian florals on there dresses. I think anything is fine just as long it is fit for the ocasion.

I figured there wasn't much that would be off limits - etiquette says so many different things!

Thanks =)

for a noon wedding...almost anything goes except for shorts and flip-flops
Noon=super casual, but respectful of the occasion. The outfit you described sounds wonderful

(not that i would mind going shopping for something else - there's just not time

)

Haha, I'm glad you asked this, actually, because I've never been to a wedding and I'm going to one in a month. I always wear black and I was conflicted over whether or not I should just suck it up and wear something else, but decided, "Eh, to hell with it, just gonna wear a black dress." Now I feel better.

that sounds fine! you're going to lighten it up with the cardi anyway. If you're still concerned, maybe add more color with accessories...or even flowers (brooch or hair). Have fun! I love weddings, and I always put in extra effort into looking different and standing out in the crowwd. If the 'moms' there raise an eyebrow then i've done my job! LOL

i think it used to be that black was not really worn to weddings and, from what i was discussing with coworkers today, red, too. black is classic!
