black jcrew dress to a wedding... thoughts?

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

black seems to be pretty standard for weddings now. i've seen someone in black at every wedding i've been to over the past few years. a couple weeks ago i was at a wedding and the photographer wore black -- maybe your coworker is attempting to blend into the background a little bit too, since she's the coordinator. i used to think wearing black to a wedding was a big no-no, and i think in the past it definitely was, but it's gotten accepted now. personally i would never wear white to a wedding unless it was my own, but that's the only color ban i can think of!

Totally fine, especially since she is one of the 'vendors'. Many of them - florists, coordinators, photographers, etc wear black. Helps them blend into the background a bit, so it's mostly out of respect I'd say.

This dress is totally fine.. absolutely acceptable in my book. I really like it!

Chic · Marc Jacobs

I would be excited that one of my vendors would look so chic! Totally perfect!

I think it's fine, for all the reasons stated by other posters. At every late afternoon/evening wedding I've ever been to, at least 2-3 if not more people have worn black. Except for one southern wedding where I was the ONLY one who wore black, and I felt weird. Since then I don't wear black at weddings because I prefer color anyway. But generally, I think it's totally acceptable, especially for vendors.

Black is completley acceptable for a wedding.
