1. Black is Acceptable: We hate to break it to you, but it is very acceptable to wear black to a wedding. Black is the most formal color you can wear but it is no longer an evening only color. Just like sequins, white in the winter and flip flops with trousers, many fashion "rules" are being turned upside down. So, take a deep breath and start looking at your closet in a whole new way. It is time to start stretching those high dollar, one time only, items into power house, closet foundations!!!
2: Celebration not Funeral: Remember you are going to the wedding to celebrate the joining of two lives! If you come across as too austere, cold and distant then step away from the black. But if you look chic, posh and polished, sophisticated, charming and welcoming then you have done the job right! So, while it is acceptable to wear black to a wedding, it might not be right for you!
3: Accessories: This is the key! If you are wearing black to a wedding you need to spice it up! Add pops of color, try sexy and unusual cuts, wear statement heels! There are countless ways to add flare to a LBD, black suit, trousers or any other black item you may wear. Wraps, rope pearls, animal print, flowers, rhinestones, brooches, vintage items, major rings are all exciting ways to take that little LBD to a whole new level. This also works for dressing up or down your black outfit. An afternoon wedding or outside wedding might encourage you to add a jean jacket to your outfit while a night wedding or large wedding suggest a beaded wrap might be a better choice! Options ladies!!!
So! Wearing black can be done but it must be done right! Wearing black is a perfect backdrop for your best accessories! Wearing black is to be embraced and enjoyed.
Stop by Femme at any time to get some individual advice for your situation and embrace the Celebration!
