I thought I had solved my dilemma of "good dress for black tie optional that can be worn again" by selecting black bridesmaids dresses. (We're doing black, white, and pink for our color scheme). The girls can choose a cut that fits them nicely (within guidelines) and I've selected the fabric.
Fiancee is concerned that black, even at an evening reception, will seem more like a funeral than a wedding. Now, I'm also concerned.
Opinions? Would the following ensemble appear too much like a funeral? The pink sash would tie in back, rather than front.
