Question

Can the bride change from white to a black dress in the evening?

Answer 1

The bride can do whatever she wants, it's her wedding!

Answer 2

You can.  Traditionalists will talk about it however.  I personally wouldn't but it is your personal decision.  It is your one day as a bride.  Your wedding doesn't switch from a wedding to a cocktail party.  If you don't want to wear a white dress, them simply don't wear one.  I would say be the bride for the day.  It makes it easier for people to find you and you can't go back and wear a poufy white dress for the day ever again.  You can wear a black dress anytime.  I'd save it for the honeymoon.  I don't think it will come across as unique and different but if it is important to you I say go ahead.  Just be prepared that everyone will not see it as proper.  A wedding is one of the few events we have left where grace and etiquette are this important.  So much of that has been lost through the years.

Answer 3

sure you can just make sure its tasteful:)

Answer 4

Why not? That's your day! And if you want to change outfits then go right ahead!

Answer 5

The bride can do whatever the h**l she wants to do on her wedding day.  If you wanna wrap yourself in toilet paper and walk around eating a bowl of cereal, then you do just that!

Answer 6

whatever you want.

but i wouldnt say black.

i would choose a happier color.

Answer 7

Why would you want to?? You are spending a fortune (probably) on a dress that you only get to wear once. What is the point in buying a second dress for the evening? I am going to be putting my dress on early and prancing round in it all day to get the most out of it!!! Ha ha.

Also....black? It is a wedding, not a funeral!! I understand that brides are wearing black more than ever to a wedding but it is meant to be a happy time and black is morbid!

Answer 8

there really aren't any hard and fast rules anymore.  i've seen brides in electric blue dresses, so basically, do whatever floats your boat.

Answer 9

it's up 2 u ,

but the black dress for a wedding evening, it's a little darkness !

Answer 10

Answer 11

Sure - it's a free country!
