Weddings can be a little tricky sometimes. There’s all these
rules about what to do and what to wear, and most importantly, what not to
wear. You’re not supposed to overshadow the bride, so no wearing white or cream,
nothing that could resemble a wedding dress, and so on. But one of the rules
that we also often see, and one which is heavily discussed these days is- don’t
wear black to a wedding.
Like we said, tricky. Especially if, like ours, most of your
closet is black. Lucky for us, this rule only exists in the very traditional
weddings, and even there, the rules have been relaxed. And if it’s a goth
wedding, well, anything goes!
However, the choice can still be complicated, and to help you out, we came up with 4 suggestions to give you ideas and to help you navigate the choppy waters of social etiquette.
You can never go wrong with a sleek long velvet dress.
It’s elegant and flattering, and you can pair it with a ornate necklace without
looking over the top, or like you’re trying too hard.
A retro inspired dress
is always perfect to wear to a wedding. This one, however, has an interesting,
rose petal inspired skirt giving it a unique look. We went overboard on the
matching jewellery here, but we can’t resist the Claddagh
design!
We freely admit to being in love with this black brocade dress.
It’s beautiful and alluring without being too revealing, so you can wear it
just about anywhere, and the rose pattern is just to die for. You can’t really be too surprised we decided
to include in our sets.
And as a last set, something for those weddings where black
is not all that welcome.
This gorgeous black and red dress
is festive enough, especially since red is a welcome colour at a wedding as it
symbolises love and fertility.
