If it&#8217;s going to be hot or sunny, in a church, or it&#8217;s a daytime wedding, no. If they&#8217;re going for a casual, boho, or beachy vibe? No,&#8217; one woman slammed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Black is for funerals. And red is for those who slept with the groom,&#8217; said another.<\/p>\n<p>A third stated: &#8216;Traditionally to wear black means you don\u2019t approve of the union.&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Australians appeared to back the young woman up on her choice of outfit.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I think I have almost exclusively worn some type of black dress to every wedding I&#8217;ve been to in Melbourne,&#8217; one woman said.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I have almost exclusively worn black as a guest to weddings as an adult, wore back as a bride at my own wedding, and looks like there&#8217;s a good chance I&#8217;ll be wearing black as a bridesmaid at my sister&#8217;s,&#8217; said another.<\/p>\n<p>A third added: &#8216;Love this &#8211; I never even knew it was a thing not to wear black! There&#8217;s always so many of us in little black dresses at Melbourne weddings.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Others suggested the correct answer can only be given by the bride &#8211; as it is up to her what is and isn&#8217;t acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Ask the bride.\u00a0It&#8217;s fine for some people, really bad for others and it is hard to tell who will have family that will be pissed off.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Some said the &#8216;vibe&#8217; of the wedding provides people with clues so they can make an educated guess.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If it is a daytime wedding in a sunny venue, like a garden then no. If it is in the evening and is cocktail or formal themed &#8211; or at a winery then yes,&#8217; they said.<\/p>\n<p>The young woman said dark blue was her first choice but it made her &#8216;look yellow&#8217; due to her olive skin.<\/p>\n<p>She added she doesn&#8217;t &#8216;personally know&#8217; the bride or groom and is a plus one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I asked my partner to ask and he never did.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Bride&#8217;s &#8216;monstrous&#8217; $8,000 wedding dress leaves hundreds stunned: &#8216;I would have refused to walk down the aisle&#8217;<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/30\/01\/74458235-12807107-A_bride_has_left_hundreds_of_women_stunned_over_her_choice_of_we-a-1_1701308350031.jpg\" height=\"648\" width=\"586\"><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12807107\/Are-black-dresses-allowed-wedding-friends-say-270-buy-no-no-guests.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are black dresses allowed at a wedding?
