I saw this dress at saks today that i would really like to wear to my friend's wedding. the dress is lacey, with black trimming at the bodice and is knee length. do you think it's inappropriate or is it ok since it has black trimming and the color is completely off-white?
Answer
I would say that if it has a decent amount of black trimming then it would be ok. Usually as etiquette goes you should steer clear of anything white/off-white. If she's a good friend...and you're doubting the choice enough to ask the question, I personally would find another dress.

Hi guys,
I was just asked to be a Ninang or a sponsor to a wedding in The Philippines.The couple comes from a tribe group but they have converted to catholism/christianity I think .Can somebody give me suggestions on what to give.
Maybe money is the best thing to give, how much do you think?
If you have other suggestions, let me know.
Also do I need to wear an all white?
Thanks in advance
Answer
You don't have to wear all-white attire. It could be ecru, beige, cream or off-white. It's best to ask what kind of ceremony will take place, where it will be held, and of course, the motif [color theme] of the bridal party. A simple yet elegant dress is acceptable, so is a formal pantsuit or two-piece. No cocktail dresses though.
As for gifts, it's a good idea to give something that would be useful to the couple like small appliances, stuff for the bedroom like sheets and blankets, a dining set, cookware, small [or big, if affordable] furniture, etc. If there is a card with their bridal registry's telephone number and location included with the invitation, you could check their listing so there won't be duplicates of gifts.
Now money is an accepted form of a gift. Be reasonable yet realistic, that is, give only what you honestly think you could give. A few thousand pesos maybe, or a gift certificate. And be discreet when handing them their gift. Besides knowing that they got it directly from you, you won't leave the impression of a showoff.
But I'd still recommend getting them something useful for their home and, possibly, future family. =)
