  1. I wear black to many weddings and find that a good 40-50% of the women are also in black. It seems that the LBD is the outfit of choice for events. I don’t think as a mother of the bride or groom it would be the best choice unless it was a Black and White wedding; often the MOB or MOG wears a color that compliments the wedding colors (this wedding was dark red and champagne, the MOB wore taupe, my wedding was bronze, orange and pink and my mom wore a champagne color).

    Though as a coordinator I do always wear black so I don’t get dirty, blend into the woodwork and look like a professional and not a guest. however those times I usually wear very simple accessories and shoes.

  2. So it’s really OK to wear black to a wedding? (at least as a guest or a mother of one of the happy couple)

    I thought that meant you disapprove of the marriage.

    Or is it different if you are in a working role such as coordinator?
