Definitley! Black is a very elegant colour, you could also where a silver or pearl necklace with it :)
If it is an evening formal wedding, then yes.
Only if it's a formal wedding.
it can be a long dress or something you would wear to a party
Yes, black is acceptable to wear at an evening wedding. Something like a cocktail dress with good lines to the dress and a pair of nice dainty earrings and perhaps a necklace with a drop on the end ... less is best.
It means wearing very formal clothing. Men usually wear tuxedos, women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening clothes.
Blue skirt and black shirt plus "Pearl necklace" (WOW) hmmmmm, a pair of white shoes. (WOW)
Yes, you can certainly wear the same dress for an an afternoon wedding and an evening reception. It may be more suitable to wear something a little more evening-appropriate, even if you're slightly overdressed for the wedding (rather than vice-versa).
Late afternoon. You want to wear something dressy, but not evening wear. It is too early in the day for evening, but late in the afternoon for morning.
If the wedding is formal, held in the evening, you know the couple are not overly superstitious, or you are a male member of the wedding party, black is an acceptable colour to wear. Be advised, some cultures and some couples would consider it in bad taste. Check around, with other guests or the mother of the bride to be certain.
Elegant attire and formal attire are similar in wear, with only minor differences. Elegant attire is usually worn at balls or requested events. Individuals invited to an event by the Queen of England would wear elegant attire. Formal attire is usually worn to a wedding.
