Is this ignorant??

So BIL's wedding is on Saturday and I'm trying to decide what to wear. Their theme is black and white...bridesmaids and mother's will be in black dresses. I'm thinking about wearing a black sleeveless dress with a pink shawl....is that ignorant? I know other people will prob wear black dresses....but I'm afraid because I KNOW what the BM's are wearing I'll look ignorant.

Re: Is this ignorant??

  • No you won't look ignorant. The girls in my wedding wore black and several ladies that knew the details of the wedding wore black too. You will be fine to wear black.

  • I dont think so at all. You will definitely not be the only person in black, and you will be a little different with your pink shawl. It will be great!

  • I think that it is perfectly fine, as long as what you are wearing does not look a lot like the BM dresses.  If it is obviously different (and the pink drape will help a lot with that) then I think that it is no big deal.  Maybe even add some bright jewelry or cute funky shoes that set you apart as well

    If you know the bride well enough you could also ask her if she is fine with it.

  • you wouldn't be out of line AT ALL wearing black.  my bridesmaids and both mothers were also in black at my wedding, and obviously other guests wore black.  you can't tell people not to wear a black dress to a wedding! i think you will be fine!

    ditto court - if you feel comfortable asking the bride, it might make you feel better about it

  • Yeah I think it would be different if you knew their dresses were yellow or something and wore a yellow dress b/c that's kind of unique - but I'm sure the bride expects that many people will wear black!
  • I agree with others, maybe if the color was unique. There will probably be a lot of people in black.
