17 Black Dresses You Can Totally Wear to a Wedding

Wedding season is quickly approaching, which means that soon enough you’ll have at least one (if not multiple) weddings to find a winning outfit for. As a wedding guest, you might have been told that there are a zillion dress codes that govern what to wear to one. Among them is an old adage that forbids wearing black to weddings—and we’re here to announce that such a “rule” is long gone. To many, this old-fashioned rule just isn’t relevant anymore. From formal, black-tie weddings to more casual ceremonies, there’s definitely a way to wear a classic black frock to the festivities.

So if you do choose to wear black to a wedding, make sure your look is in good taste. The key is to choose a black piece that’s festive, formal, and special enough to not be mistaken for funeral attire. And if you’re thinking of wearing a dress to the celebration, look for options that feature fabrics like lace, velvet, satin, or tulle.
