Is it appropriate to wear black to a wedding?

Yes, wearing black to a wedding has become increasingly common and accepted, especially for evening or formal events. Black dresses exude elegance and can easily be styled to suit both traditional and modern weddings. Just avoid overly somber looks by adding light or colorful accessories.

How can I make a black wedding guest dress stand out?

To elevate a black dress, choose styles with unique details like lace overlays, figure-flattering ruching, or beaded embellishments. Pair your dress with bold accessories, such as statement earrings or metallic heels, to add contrast and make your outfit pop.

Can I wear a black dress to a daytime wedding?

Yes, black wedding guest dresses can work for daytime events, especially when paired with lighter, playful accessories. Opt for flowy fabrics like chiffon or satin for a softer look, and choose a shorter length or a fun design like a wrap dress or skater skirt for a more casual vibe. Pairing with nude or pastel accessories can also soften the look for daytime wear.

What accessories go best with a black wedding guest dress?

Black dresses are incredibly versatile and pair well with a variety of accessories. Metallic tones like gold or silver add elegance, while colorful shoes, clutches, or jewelry can provide a pop of color. For a more formal look, stick with classic accessories like diamond or pearl jewelry. Find more formal guest outfit inspo on Windsor's Black-Tie Wedding Guest Dresses page.
