Yes, I had heard “no black for a wedding” before too but thought it was a superstition thing. That’s why I was surprised to see some post here that it’s considered an insult or snub where they live and not just a bad luck thing.Not wearing black to a wedding is just a superstition. As the mother of the groom, I wore a black dress. Our son and daughter-in-law have been happily married for 15 years now and we have 3 beautiful granddaughters.
I don't think it matters what color guests wear. I wore black to my own wedding.
Because the bridal industry makes a lot of money on it.That's cool. I've always thought limiting to white was silly. I know it's the tradition but why not change it up?

My wedding dress was ivory. Light pink & light peach wedding dresses were also popular, when I go married. It's seems I only see white in windows now, but I haven't actually been in a bridal shop in decades to see if they sell other colors.That's cool. I've always thought limiting to white was silly.

It's a lot easier to keep a stranglehold on just white dresses. A fancy dress in different colors could be for all sorts of occasions, how do they know to price gouge for a wedding?Well, they could still sell wedding dresses, just in other colors - think Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice.
Me too. Also not a first marriage and I was in my 50s. I'd looked for a dress, but couldn't find one I liked, so I just wore my favorite black dress with a black and maroon colored rose headpiece. My kids said I looked goth, but I was just trying to wear clothes I liked. It was winter, so dark colors looked fine.Well, I wore a black dress to my own wedding!
It was my second wedding, and it was very low key (only immediate family at the ceremony). We held an open house for the reception and I have no recollection of what anyone else wore lol

Are you insinuating I must have gotten married in the 20s?In Downton Abbey, all the women wore different colors of wedding dresses, ivory, peach, other pastels, etc. The tradition of white wedding dresses hadn't come about back then.
