Modern weddings do not have to conform to tradition and even though the vast majority of brides still choose white or ivory wedding dresses , wearing a colored dress is a definite way to make a bold statement. Relatives may stand and stare in shock, thinking they have come to a funeral rather than a wedding, but wearing black is not as scary as it sounds.
For many women, black is their favorite color and the one they feel most comfortable wearing but there are numerous other reasons to choose a black wedding dress:
The right black dress can look simply stunning, especially if accessorized with other colors like red. Think style not wedding when searching for the right dress.
Dark colors like blue wedding dresses, brown wedding dresses except black ones,can hide curves and bulges, making a bride look slimmer, perfect for a maternity bride or a larger lady.
Certain fabrics like lace wedding dresses look equally beautiful in black or white wedding dresses, especially when mixed together; perfect for a Spanish style Quinceanera dresses.
Black may suit a woman’s complexion far better than traditional white wedding dresses, which can make a bride look pale.
Black wedding dresses are usually much cheaper, after all they can be purchased almost anywhere; mainstream dress collections or prom stores are a good place to start.
Also, accessories will cost less and shoes should be easy to find when half of all footwear ranges are made in black.
Most importantly, a black dress can be worn again making it an economical investment.
