I know this is an older article, but I have to disagree with Lucy and Erin. I'm a southern girl as well, and I don't think it's TOO weird to wear black to a wedding. I mean, it is a little odd, but depending on the style of wedding it is perfectly acceptable. For instance, a night time wedding or a winter wedding. Yes, I think of colors too for summer or spring time weddings, but a cute black cocktail dress works as well.

[...] There are just too many unspoken rules, too many unanswered questions: What do I wear? Black? White? Should I go casual or dressy? What do I bring? Who do I bring? Can I bring someone? And so on.It’s enough to keep you from going to the blasted wedding at all. Well College Candy is here to speak about those rules and answer those questions. [...]

I also agree with Lucy. Then again, I'm also from Texas. I just think wearing black to a wedding is so weird. When I think of weddings, I definitely think of color. If you come down here, don't wear black to a wedding, it just looks like you're in mourning.

Hey Lucy, maybe in a Southern daytime wedding black isn't the best op- but that's kind of a given. Hot, sunny weather makes people want to wear color. I think black is perfectly acceptable at a wedding, especially if it's a cooler season and indoors. Black is classy. When in doubt, dress it up with a splash of color- I wore a sleek black dress with bright red heels to my BFF's wedding, and cleared with her first. I got a TON of compliments.

Where are you from? Don't wear black to a Southern daytime wedding, people WILL look at you funny. I think all black to a wedding is rude unless it's a very formal, night time wedding. Dresses with black patterns, like a black and white floral, are more acceptable, but daytime weddings call for something lighter.

Also, disagree on the gift-giving as well. There's plenty of things you can buy a marrying couple without a registry- no need to resort to writing a check! But again, I'm from the South and I've never seen anyone do a "money dance" at a wedding either. I cannot even imagine!
