I have this odd color of blue dress I am going to wear to attend a wedding. I got a white sweater to go with it because I could not find a color of sweater to match and was not sure if black would be appropriate. I was going to try to find a pair of white shoes but I waited until the last minute and can't find any white shoes. I am wondering if it is okay to wear black shoes to a wedding? I already have a pair of black shoes but not a black sweater. Do I wear the blue dress, white sweater and black shoes? The wedding is actually semi casual and not in a church but in a sort of garden setting. It is also an early evening wedding. What color purse should I use, white or black?

white sweater, blue dress... and silver shoes! i wore that when i was a bridesmaid. it think it should make a good combination already. hmm.. thinking you should not really wear the black shoes. your purse can go with the color of your dress, imo.

do your shoes really have to match everything else? i never wear anything that matches my shoes and purse, well not that often anyways.

There is nothing wrong with a black jumper, shoes and bag. I am getting married on the 1st May and my wedding dress is black and purple - lol.

It is hard to comment without seeing the outfit but the colours sound fine to me; not that I am a fashion expert! I’ve worn black shoes at a wedding before and I’ve seen a lot of other women do so as well. I don’t think there is anything wrong with wearing black at a wedding if it’s an evening event especially if you accessorise with colourful accessories. I don’t think there are any strict rules anymore as long as you don’t outshine the bride!
