Why Black Works for Weddings Black was once considered off-limits for wedding guests, but modern etiquette has fully embraced this classic color for mothers of the bride

Simply send us photos of any issues

The woman wears a sleeveless black ribbed midi dress with chunky white sneakers and a simple leather shoulder bag

( Pro tip: block heels and platforms will give you the height and comfort you need to own the dance floor!) If youre not a fan of heels, a pair of dressy flats can still go a long way at a black tie optional wedding

Of course, if that's the plan, you'll want to pair it with a comfortable pair of shoes (luckily, we've got you covered in that department)

Oh the good old 2000s
