Black wedding guest dresses & outfits 

Everyone has a little black dress, right? I personally think it is a great, stylish and timeless option as a wedding guest. Especially as an evening guest or at a more formal affair.

Consider the season and style of wedding as to what style you will wear. Summer, outdoor weddings I would go for a softer black or floral print. A maxi or midi for a more formal wedding or autumn, or winter event.

Can you wear black to a wedding?

Yes, of course, you can! For most weddings anyway. Always check the dress code of the wedding, this will help you make a judgment call. Also, probably the most important thing to consider is if it is a religious wedding. Black can have meanings for some religions so make sure you wouldn’t offend if a traditional religious day.

FAQs

What is the best style of black dress for a wedding?

The best style of black dress for a wedding really depends on the type of wedding you are attending. If it is a more formal affair, then a black gown or cocktail dress would be appropriate. If the wedding is more casual, then a black sundress or even a little black dress would be fine.

How do I accessorize a black dress for a wedding?

Accessorizing a black dress for a wedding is really no different than accessorizing any other type of dress. The key is to keep it simple and elegant. A black dress is already a statement piece, so you don’t want to go overboard with the accessories.
