Yes it is, in many circles. Maybe in your community it's appropriate; so that's fine, if your friends and family wear black to a wedding.
This becomes a problem when people cross communities/cultures and they don't realize they're offending others by not knowing what's appropriate and expected in that community.
And then, again, there are those who don't care at all if they're offensive to other people.
Save the black sundress to wear on the trip. You have time to find something that won't cost a lot. See if there is something on rent the runway that would work. Or you could find something on shopgoodwill or look for vintage.
My friend is having a destination wedding in a few months that we can’t really afford to go to but we are going. It’s a 5 pm wedding on a beach and reception on a patio. I have a nice black off the shoulder sun dress I was going to wear my friends tells me I can’t wear black. Is it really that wrong to wear black? My other friend showed me her dress which is similar but in blue.
Wear what you want. Your dress sounds lovely and, in this day and age, no one really cares if you wear black to a wedding so long as the style of the dress itself is appropriate to the venue.
I've worn both black and white dresses to weddings and nobody cared.
I've also been to weddings where the bridesmaids all wore black, and even one where the bride wore black.
But I would also say that guests obsess far too much about what they are wearing when it's not their day, no one is really paying attention, and no one will really care at the end of the day.
Sometimes I am not very helpful.
