Is it OK for a guest to wear a black and white dress to a wedding?

It's a summer wedding at 7:00 pm. No guest dress code was provided. I've got a slightly-below-knee-length dress that has a pattern of large black flowers with a white background. Black belt at the waist. I've read that guests shouldn't wear white, and that they shouldn't wear black, but what about a combo?

I think it would ok. Anything seems to go these days.

Actually the dress you describe sounds very familiar.....I just saw some pictures of a wedding my friend went to ...(night wedding) and a girl in the picture had a similar dress on. If it is the same one it is very pretty...wear it proud and just have fun!!!

It is not like you are wearing something inappropriate.
Reply:sounds to me your breaking two rules at once
Reply:Whatever you are comfortable with, as long as there is no dress code.
Reply:It has never been okay to wear all white to a wedding as a guest and these days, it's okay to wear black. The dress you described is okay. Your dress will not steal the spotlight because all eyes will be on the bride.
Reply:It is acceptable, especially if it's an after 7 event. Today's fashion is so different today than years ago. unless they wear jeans then any type of dress up is good.A dress code was not specified but I think you're guests will be tasteful in what they select to wear?
Reply:It sounds nice but the pattern might be too bold and violate the "don't steal attention from the bride" rule.
Reply:i wouldn't worry about it, but some people are just really touchy. Think of whose wedding you're going to and if they would really care. If you can't be certain ask a mutual friend what she is wearing to the wedding and take it from there.
Reply:well the last wedding i went to back in september i wore black and it didn`t seem to cause a stir,it`s not as strict as it once was and just wear what your comfortable with,i think your dress sounds nice and will be fine for the occassion.
Reply:i suggest you should wear a white dress since its a wedding ceremony...
Reply:Well you shouldnt wear a dress that has mostly white because the brides supposed to be the one in white and black kinda like mourning but like i guess if you dont really mind people giving you looks (if thier are snobby people) Then I guess you should go with the dress I have had people who have worn dresses like that to my cousins wedding and it didnt really matter unless your like flower girl .. or maid of honor or sumfin like that wear the attentions kinda on you too
Reply:Well if its just black or just white no but if it has patterns like black flowers and a white background you'll be fine.
Reply:I think it'll be fine. You're not supposed to outshine the bride in white, but that dress won't. You're not supposed to wear black as tho you're in mourning, but with the white, you won't do that, either.
Reply:Sounds fine, if the invite didn't specify what you are suppose to wear then you are in the clear. Wear the dress and look fabulous!
Reply:Your dress will be just fine. black and white is a hot item for spring and summer. If your not part of the wedding party, then it doesnt matter.
Reply:brides wear white when they are not virgins, so what is the problem with what you were wearing? you were there thats all that should matter right ?
Reply:As long as it is not all white, I'm sure it would be fine, the dress actually sounds like it's very pretty.
Reply:i dont really kno i guess its okay
Reply:you should wear a totally white dress
