A friend is getting married at the Garden CIty Hotel....and it is going to be black tie optional. Am I supposed to wear a black dress or just a fancy dress in any color?
Thanks

You don't have to wear black. Typically you would wear a full length dress to a black tie.

A dress in any color is fine. You could wear either floor length or a very nice cocktail dress (knee length) to a black tie optional wedding.

Re: Black tie Optional
It depends on how much you want to spend. If you want to go easy on your pocketbook, you can go to Filene's basement. I have found 2 Ralph Lauren gowns there and was happy. You could also goto Lord and Taylor - they have awesome sales. If money is not an issue, try Nordstrom Couture department. Good Luck.

This whole black tie optional thing drives me crazy...there have beena bunch off posts of people wanting to put that on their invitation...Personally I htink you either have a Black Tie wedding or not because for me if I saw the 'optional' I would feel bad not wearing black tie....JMO

Re: Black tie Optional
i think the reason people put black tie optional is b/c it's asking a lot to have a black tie wedding. I mean, black tie optional just means, if you have a tux, wear it. If you don't, then wear your best suit.
I think it's fine.

SHE isn't asking if she should put it on her invitation...
