Guest hat etiquette question

Hello, 

Long-time lurker here, with a question as a wedding guest. 

We're going to a society, black-tie-ish wedding (they haven't specifically said it's black tie but all indications are that it's a formal event). 

I have a long purple gown (fairly light in colour) that I plan to wear, which has a black lace waistband so I'm planning to wear black accessories, including a black hat or fascinator. I know that hats aren't always worn in the US but they are quite common at church weddings at home so I still like to wear them over here. My DH is concerned about how a black hat/fascinator will be perceived though and is worried it would look too funereal so I'm here to ask for advice.

What do you guys think? Thanks!!
