Is it ok to wear black to a wedding? What about mostly black? I’m planning to wear a black maxi dress to a wedding I’m going to in August, it’s black but has some pink flowers so I thought it would be ok but I don’t want to offend anyone or stand out. Is that not an appropriate color to wear as a guest or will wearing black make it look like I’m unhappy about them getting married (like my mom said). do I need to buy something new to wear? It’s my cousin’s wedding and it’ll be outside, if that matters.
