So I posted what I wanted to wear for my aunts wedding this Friday and someone said I'm not supposed to wear white or black, and I want to know why? What's so wrong about it?

It could outshine the bride if you wear white, I'm not sure about black.

Really? Even if it's just a white shirt?

Maggie is right, the wedding day is for the bride to be the most beautiful one there. You can wear creme or beige :)

Black is fine for any formal occasion. The ladies are right; white is reserved for the bride in traditional weddings.

Black is for funerals and is seen as something negative I believe for weddings.

Yeah Rozberry and Lauren are right

I disagree. The little black dress is timeless and appropriate for most any occasion.

White Is for the bride. black is ok aslong as you add alittle color (earrings, purse, shoes etc.)

You Can't wear black for Two reasons: 1. Its for funerals, 2. If you do, I means That you don't approve the union. And wearing white is an insult for the bride :)

White is considered the brides colour.
Black is considered too dark for weddings and usually reserved for funerals.
However! These are usually held for traditional weddings. I would ask your aunt and see how she feels. I'm sure she won't mind.

That's why I never liked traditional weddings. I'm wearing a purple dress for mine and I don't care what anyone else wears lol. I know my mom will wear black because that's all she wears. I never knew you weren't suppose to wear white to weddings. Black I did know was traditionally a sign of grief. Just ask your aunt :)

I wouldn't wear white or black to a wedding. I'd also stray away from any variations such as ivory, beige, off-white, etc. but that's just me taking it too far.

White is usually what the bride wears: your not 'allowed' as they say to outshine the bride and black many associate it with a funeral. I wore white and navy and accessorised with navy accessories so really there wasn't that much white. You can get away with a white bolero/shoes/bags. What I recommend is find out what colour the bride is going for

Traditionally black was worn by those who did not agree with the marriage taking place. It's the polite and subtle way to note that. And white is the brides color. No one else it supposed to wear whit in any capacity because that color is what makes stand out. However , I'd ask your aunt. If she's ok with you wearing either color then go for it! But out of respect if you don't ask then don't wear those colors

On a wedding day only the bride should be wearing white (:. And black I see a lot of people wearin black to as wedding if you brighten it up with accessories (:

Talk to your aunt about it. I wouldnt take the chance its a pretty important rule for some people so you wouldnt want to offend her.
May 21, 2014
J S.
Yeah what Laura said, some care about the no black rule, and some don't, so it's better to be safe

My aunt doesn't care, I talked to her about it and she said she's never heard of that tradition buy thanks for letting me know girls(:

I wore a dress where the top was black and from my waist down was white and no one disapproved!! I mean honesty... It's just a colour...
If the bride wore a coloured dress does that mean that no one can wear that colour? Nah..
I think it's fine.. Ask the bride if you're worried xx

Thanks!(: yeah I had a talk with my aunt and we both thought it was something dumb , but some people see it different. And plus it's not like I'm wearing a white dress lol I'm wearing a black skirt with a white top, my aunt loved my outfit so I don't see why not wear it lol
