[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In American culture. Any season. I know it’s old fashioned but I think it is a dig at the bride when significant attendees wear black, like they’re mourning. Fortunately, did not happen to me.[/quote]

The mother of the groom or anyone else is [b]not insulting[/b] the couple by wearing black.  Knee length is called The Little Black Dress and it might have sparkles, trim, pattern, or be a more glossy fabric than day or funeral. Or it can go from day to evening via accessories/jewelery etc. Long is fine but one should make sure it doesn't resemble a bridesmaid dress which can be black or almost black.

If the bride and her family are from a culture  that wouuld never wear black to a wedding then explain The Little Black Dress.  I guarentee that there will be guests in black or black in a pattern. One groom mother looked spectacular in black velvet slacks, patterned evening jacket, and exquisite evening bag.

In the USA it's no white or ivory or champagne that could photograph as a shade of white. [/quote]
