Re: [Daisytrue] black satin bridemaids gowns

Dear Daisytrue,
It really depend on the formality of all of the gowns. Black is no longer a night time color. So, if these gowns are very formal, then you may want to begin after 5 or 6 pm. But, some formal weddings are held during the day, especially Catholic weddings. So, there is wiggle room.
If your gown has a long train and formal veil, then a wedding held after 5/6 is best. Your gown speaks the loudest.
Also, if you want your groomsmen to wear tuxes, it is best to begin after 5.
