In Poland, for the older generation, wearing a black or white creation is unthinkable. Black is associated with mourning and a “bad omen” for a young couple, and white is usually worn by a bride. On the other hand, among the younger generations, opinions are still divided. Recently, this topic was taken up by a savoir-vivre expert.
Should I wear a white or black dress to a wedding? The expert explains
Aleksandra Pakuła runs an Instagram profile, where she educates her followers and followers, introducing the rules of good manners. In one of the recent videos, she commented on whether it is in a good tone to appear at such a ceremony in white or black.
Don’t wear a white and black dress to a wedding! Have you watched the movie “Mother-in-Law”? It perfectly showed how much that day can be expressed with the color of the dress. White in our culture is reserved for the bride. On this day, only she can use white. (…) Black, on the other hand, is the color of sadness, loss, suffering, pain, mourning. There’s a reason we choose black clothes for funerals
– explained Aleksandra Pakuła.
– Rules of etiquette are simply cultural norms. Not always the bride wore white and not everywhere in the world black is worn to funerals. In our cultural circle, the symbolism of white and black remains unchanged for the time being and I do not see any signs of imminent changes, she added in the description.
Internet users divided: “It’s not those times anymore”
For the first time I will not agree, I would wear black, because it is a classic for me
Let everyone do what they like, let everyone be themselves and in accordance with their conscience, not someone locked in a specific framework, because it is not appropriate
Well, there is a person in my immediate family who absolutely wants to wear a white dress to my daughter’s wedding
It always annoys me, it seems to me that there are so many colors that you can really avoid these two…
Superstition. Seriously, I don’t think it’s that time anymore
I think it’s an exaggeration – if I still understand white, then black? Absolutely. Black is a beautiful, timeless and, above all, elegant color. I totally don’t understand why it wouldn’t be worn to a wedding 🙂
Everyone seems to know it, but you can still meet people in a white dress at a wedding
And rightly so, after all, it is so obvious and conspicuous
Yay, yes! How good for people to hear about it
– they write.
