Defy Convention: Wear A Black Wedding Dress!

The fall 2012 wedding collection by Vera Wang highlighted some of the most amazing black-nude gowns and some all-black numbers that are a way off from the traditional white wedding dress. Are you bold enough to walk down the aisle in a black number? Here are a few considerations:

1.       Wearing the Black Wedding Dresses

You can go for a black dress if you have a Beach Themed Wedding or maybe a medieval themed Wedding. The dress compliments well with the Gothic look and is excellent for an ethereal theme. You can wear black at your wedding and incorporate it with hints of red, silver and white. The trend right now is lace and black lace is simply beautiful!

2.       The Best Cuts And Accessories For Black Wedding Dresses

Choose a tight fitting gown since they tend to compliment any body shape. You can also opt for a full flowing skirt with a tight fitting bodice. Always avoid long and solid sleeves, either opt for something sheer or choose the sleeveless option. Black wedding dresses look fantastic with pearls because they make you look elegant, and do not scream for attention.

3.       The ‘what-will-others-think’ Factor

Wearing a black gown at your own wedding might leave you with a few very worried glances. Make sure that you consider your partner’s preferences and the preferences of your family. Most couples these days are non-conventional and love to make their wedding a unique affair to remember: the black dress could be the bold statement.

4.       Buying the Black Wedding Dresses

Once you have decided on a black wedding dress your shopping becomes so much easier. However, make sure to go through prom dresses and even the bridesmaid’s dresses to find one you will love. You can also consider your shopping online and do not forget to search for most expensive wedding dress to get the best designs available across the globe.

Thanks to upcoming designers and non-conventional brides, black can be worn at a wedding. So if black is your color of choice, then there is no reason for you not to wear it on your wedding day.
