The invitations, the cake, everything was black and white. The bride's dress was white (thankfully) with black trim (unusual). The maid of honor wore the same dress, sans train, in black with white trim. It struck me as a little odd, but definitely in keeping with the bride's personality--she is not a goth, but she wears almost nothing but black and white in her daily life.

As for this dress, I really like it.

I have worn black to the wedding, but a short stylish A-line frock. One doesn't want to look like Morticia Adams, after all. Or like someone in mourning. Except at the weddings of ex-lovers, of course. I can definitely see the Asian influence in this dress.

Doesn't the corset look more like an obi? Actually, I get this whole “East meets West” vibe from the outfit, which is so hackneyed and only popular due to the upcoming ‘Geisha’ movie.

By the way, has the injunction against wearing black to a wedding been lifted? The dress is bewitching, but the hair is just witchy.
