I have a wedding tomorrow night - is it weird to wear a mostly white dress at night? ( it's black and white but mostly white )

In my opinion, if it's not long, it's ok.

While I don't think a white dress at night is a problem, it's generally considered bad manners to wear white to a wedding. It's seen as competing with the bride.

I didn't see any of my families gowns until my wedding. My SIL wore a floor length white gown. I thought it was kind of weird but don't care that much, but that's me.
I'd say nobody would even notice if you wear a black and white dress/outfit. Doesn't sound very bridal to me.

I personally wouldn't wear a white dress because the kallah is, even if my dress doesn't look like a gown. But I would wear a white blouse under a cardigan.
I did see close relatives (mother, sister, etc.) who wore beautiful white gowns that really looked like wedding gowns (and probably were), which can be confusing if you don't know who the kallah is. I also saw guests wearing long white fancy maxi dresses.

I wouldn't wear white to a wedding. I just think that white is for the kallah only on such a day. Also, I know this is pretty unbelievable but I was once at a wedding in Israel and a lady wore a white dress, looked like a wedding dress and many people went up to her and thought she was the kallah. It was very embarrassing and I think, very rude. I know you say it's got black in it, but you could try to find any other colour, how about pink/turquoise/purple?

That's just wrong. You don't want to be that person everyone talks about, and rightfully so, years down the line. Never wear anything that in the wildest, most perverse imagination of anyone, could be construed as a wedding gown unless you are the bride.

I was raised you don't wear white, red, or black to a wedding. White because you look like the kallah, red because you are drawing attention to yourself on someone else's special day, and black because isn't a happy occasion. The black thing went out the window when I became frum, but I still think wearing white or red to a wedding is tacky.

I also wouldn't wear black to a simcha, it's not showing you are happy. Or maybe a very bright black with lots of accessories...

I think it depends on what is "done" in your circles. I would not do it.

In some circles it's not only acceptable, but often expected that the mother and sisters of the bride/groom wear white dresses. The bride is clearly distinguishable by her head piece and veil.
That said, I don't think anybody outside that circle should wear white.
