Can you wear black to a wedding as a guest?

Yes! Wedding guest black dresses are expected to be a trend this year. There used to be a feeling that black is exclusively for mourning. However, these days are long gone and replaced with a more ‘Gatsby’ sentiment wherein the color black represents glamor and class.

Is it OK to wear black to a summer wedding?

Unless the couple specifies a color palette, there are no limitations to what guests can wear. The one exception, of course, is white. Black dresses for wedding guests are neutral and versatile. The simple addition of accessories, patterns, or splashes of color can easily transform the outfit to suit any wedding theme.

What does a black dress symbolize?

There’s a chance that a black dress could represent mourning, but it all depends on how you wear it. In the majority of cases, a black wedding guest dress demonstrates class, elegance, and sexiness. Conversely, many cultures are making their way into North American wedding themes. Some of these cultures wear black to symbolize the ‘until death do we part” portion of the wedding vows.
