Team it up with these sophisticated velvet slingback evening pumps and this glamorous blush clutch bag. They’re a great way to dress up a black dress for a wedding and look high-end. We love a Bardot neckline for a dose of vintage glamour, perfect for a fancy evening do in a hotel ballroom.
Floor length gowns are also appropriate for black-tie weddings, but you can also opt for a formal jumpsuit. The basic rule of thumb is that if it covers your ankles, you’re good to go! This is your chance to embrace your elegant side and show off a fancy, black outfit.
Metallic Skirts Are Trending—Here’s How to Wear the Va Va Voom Look
The black wedding dress helped her look fancy and special without looking super bridal. This black and red wedding dress is ideal for the gothic theme. The off-the-shoulder black lace bodice is sexy and stylish, while the bare shoulders and open back add a touch of romance. When it comes to dark wedding dresses, this one is fit for a dramatic dark queen. The trumpet mermaid silhouette hugs your curves, while the chapel train makes an elegant statement.
Traditionally, they pants should match the dinner jacket unless you're intentionally opting for a contrasting smoking jacket. You can only wear a cocktail dress if it's a very formal design. It can fall above the knee, but it shouldn't get much shorter than that for a black-tie wedding.
Navy Blue Midi Dress in Satin, $72
If you’re set on wearing light pink, break up the color with patterns or vibrant accessories. Deeper reds, like crimson or oxblood, are a safe wedding choice (plus, they’re universally flattering!). For this universally flattering shade, keeping it dress code appropriate comes down to the fabric and cut. For example, a black taffeta ballgown may not be the best choice for a beach wedding.
If the material, cut, or ornamentation is very formal, several varieties of mid-length, cocktail, or tiered skirt lengths are typically acceptable. A long or ball gown-style skirt with a formal top is another fantastic appearance. Heavier fabrics like silk and velvet are usually more comfortable to walk in than lighter materials like linen or chiffon. Women should generally wear a full-length gown for black tie dress codes, but those rules are changing. Many styles of types of mid-length, cocktail, or tiered skirt length are usually appropriate if the material, cut, or embellishment is highly formal.
Cocktail
Skip the dress for one of these statement looks instead. If you think it's going to be a really casual affair, and would like to err on the safe side, we'd recommend a navy, light blue or grey suit instead. It’s best to respect these cultural expectations so as not to offend any elderly members of the wedding party, and it’ll also avoid any embarrassment on your behalf.
And while we’ve discussed how to show up, here are some things you should never wear to a black-tie wedding. You can also choose kitten heels to assure you of comfort. Brown, dusty rose, maroon, purple-black, and deep hues are some of the best colors you can wear. Black tie wedding invitations are formal and the fonts are mainly curly cursive. You’ll find variations like a script, Sherif, calligraphy, and the likes. The font colors and backgrounds would also contain one primary color to balance the presence of other colors.
Bold & Beautiful Black Bridal Gowns
The black lining option makes it perfect for a goth wedding, while the lace detailing adds a touch of understated elegance. The trumpet-mermaid silhouette gives you a sexy, curve-hugging look, while the sequined lace adds a touch of glamour. Best of all, the chapel train will ensure all eyes are on you as you walk down the aisle. This gorgeous black gown from Bridalgarden Studio on Etsy has extra fabric, but still offers a simple and timeless look. While red isn’t the worst color to wear to a wedding, keep in mind that it is eye-catching. Imagine being a bride going through your wedding photos and your eye keeps getting pulled to a vivid scarlet dress.
Sequins and embellishments are another way of getting away from funeral-style black and this ticks all the boxes, especially if it’s a winter wedding. It has loose, relaxed fit so you won't be feeling restricted but if you want to streamline your shape, try adding a black or silver waist belt for more definition. Minimal styling is needed with a sequin dress so, keep it simple in black mules or add colour with a pink court. Elegant and sophisticated the ruffle-detailed neckline adds a romantic flourish that will flatter a small bust too. It hugs your figure in all the right places and the dipped hem allows you to move easily and flash a stylish shoe.
