I recently received an invitation for a friend's wedding, and I'm just very curious about the etiquette of what she wrote. I know it's fairly common to have some sort of dress code for your wedding: black tie, formal, informal, whatever. But this one said "Sunday best, black preferred."
I get the Sunday best part, but is the "black preferred" common etiquette where you are from? I already know what dress I'm wearing to the wedding (I only own about three Sunday dresses, none of which are black), but I'm still really curious about this. What's the etiquette?
Is it okay to wear a dress that isn't black? Is it okay for her to request that we wear black?
