Black Bridesmaid Dresses Y or N

I've been to a wedding where the BMs wore short black dresses, and it looked fantastic. Not funeral-ish at all.

I love the black personally, especially because it could make the dress easier to wear again.

My girls are wearing black! Search pinterest for black bridesmaids dresses and see if you like the look. Definitely not "funeral like".

I love black dresses. you can fancy them up and tailor to your theme/colours using jewelry, and they are nearly always flattering, classy, and timeless. the only BM dress i've ever worn again was a LBD, which is also a nice benefit!

I think black is a beautiful color for a BM dress, especially in a formal setting during the fall or winter.

I love it! I say go for it if that is what you want!!

Absolutely. Especially if it's in the evening. My opinion may be a bit biased though because I think my wedding party absolutely slayed.

Good! Hahaha. But then again. My wedding is black and white. And my two maids of honor will be in black. And the two groomsmen along with FH will be in all black as well. So yeah. Lol

I'm going to be a bridesmaid. The bride is considering black dresses for us. I said, "Yes, please!" Especially since I might be pregnant by the time of her wedding, it will be much easier for me to find a black dress than anything else!

Personally I love it.

I'm doing this. Asked my bridesmaids to wear little black dresses. I bought them red pashminas to wear for some color. I did it because I wanted to let them pick their dresses and I didn't want to have to worry about the colors matching.

I don't think the dress in your photo will look like a funeral but it will be pretty formal.

I'm seeing a LOT of BP's in black. For one thing, it looks good on almost everyone, and flowers look beautiful against it. And there IS a chance that your bm's MIGHT wear them again!

Absolutely yes to the black BM dresses! I agree with PP that they would come across as looking more formal rather than funeral. If you're worried about things being monochromatic you can always spice it up with a sash or belt using another color, but I think black BM dresses on their own are elegant and classy AF.

I've had to wear black as a bridesmaid and aside from it being an awful dress in general, nobody saw a problem with it.

Ours wore long black dresses (formal June evening wedding). I chose them in part because it was easy and in part because the men were all wearing different tartans in their kilts and I didn't want to try to match that. They looked beautiful.

I wore a black long gown.

My best friend also wore a black long gown.

Did not look like a funeral.

Actually- IMHO- I think we looked awesome.

I personally love the idea! Plus black is super flattering, I always feel beautiful in it! I say go for it

P.S love the dress you posted with it! Very pretty!

I love black dresses for formal weddings! It's so classy and universally flattering!

My BM wore black dresses with pink shoes. They were some classy fucking ladies.

I was going to do black for my BM dresses, but I was googling pics of BMs wearing black dresses and they blended in way too much. I love black - it's classy and elegant, but I wanted my girls to stand out a little more. I am going with a dark gray now.
