If you’ve recently received an invitation to a wedding and have absolutely no idea what to wear, a simple black dress is the perfect place to start (providing the dress code allows it). A little black dress or a simple midi slip can look formal enough for any occasion. Read on for some ideas on how to dress up a black dress for a wedding!
