I need some advice my grandson is getting married next winter and I wondered if black and white was a suitable outfit for a wedding.

Hi nusanan, first of all congratulations! I would say that black and white is a very classy and safe color, but there are a lot of colors that you could indulge in this occasion. I recently got married, and made a research for my bridesmaids dresses. There a lot in of choices which made me open my eyes to lots of ranges of colors which I would say would be applicable to guest as well. Even online searches would be of a help I would say.

Do you know what colour the bridesmaids are wearing ??? I went to a wedding that the mother of the groom wore more or less the same colours, but unfortunately the colours clashed. She had been told what the girls were wearing so it would have looked much nicer had she picked different colour. The bride's Mother had deliberately chosen not to wear the same colours even though she had initially started to sew herself an outfit prior to the bridesmaids dresses being chosen.

Congratulations,
So the number one rule of dressing for a wedding (well any function) is to be confortable. Even though its his day u need to be comfotable. Wear something appropraite for the weather and venue, honestly im sure u could wear a brigt pink dress and he would still b happy to have u there.

Congrats, as I have wedding next month, my family know what colour my bridal party are in and they are trying to avoid that colour. Black and white is fine, but try black with another colour, remember, the bride will be in white

Hi Nusanan, If you are going to wear the black and white outfit, to your Grandsons wedding, you could dress it up with wearing a nice belt, and a brooch. Your Grandson will be happy what
ever you are wearing to his wedding, as you will like nice any way. I hope you have a lovely time, and Congratulations on your Grandsons weddung.

Congratulations nusanan on your grandson's wedding.
What to wear? #1 rule - be comfortable! - if you are comfortable and feel nice in what you are wearing, then you cant help but look STUNNING!

I attended a wedding this last sunday and my friend wore black and white and she certainly was not out of place. So black and white is a good choice regardless of season.

If you are going to be in any of the official photos, you could also take a clue from the mother of the bride (or groom) and dress in a colour that will complement. (not the same colour, but from that side of the colour wheel)

Thanks Sherri I have the outfit and love it but wasnt sure if the colour was appropriate many years back it would have been very wrong to wear black in any form thankfully things have changed,i am over weight and the black and white is flattering,thanks again
