Answer 1

I've never heard that you aren't supposed to wear a black dress if he's wearing a tux, I though you were supposed to. I totally would, especially if it's my favorite dress. You don't have to match the bridal party unless you're in it.  

Answer 2

black is in for weddings go for i t

Answer 3

i think you should

Answer 4

I wouldn't wear black to a wedding.  The men wear tux's for all weddings, and you shouldn't use the same color-coordinate rules as you would for a date out on the town.  Since the wedding party is in navy blue, I'd wear something in a different color, but still a dark, classic jewel tone like a nice simple dark garnet red color.  Simple jewelry and maybe a long, pretty shawl.
