    Black is a great color because it's versatile. Nobody will think funeral, i personally think it's very classic. I was in a wedding with black dresses she just had a red sash added under the bust for her theme.

    My ladies will be in black lace. They're gorgeous. I think they'll compliment my dress beautifully (I have black details in my dress) and the color is flattering on all the different body types in my wedding.

    I say yes to black dresses, but just make sure they are the same type of black, different shades of black doesn't look good together like other colors might

    No one wears a formal black gown to a funeral. A black dress does not automatically equal funeral.

    My girls will be in black as well as the gm. My colors are black/white/red, but I like black dresses regardless. I've been a bm in black and I loved it.

    My girls are in black! Our colors are black and gold so we went with black dresses that have a nude lace underlay on top.

    I would personally feel like I was surrounded by mourners, but the feel of my wedding isn't super formal either, and formal may make more sense with black, I don't know. Also mine will be in the summer in the South, outdoors, and I'm not doing that to my friends! xD

    My mom associates black with funerals and she is so wrong. black is a classic,sophisticated color. Some of the most beautiful wedding's I've seen on Instagram the bridesmaids are wearing black or white. Its not traditional and unique

    I was in a wedding and we wore black. Didn't look like a funeral at all.

    Everyone looks good in black! It is a more formal color, so hopefully that is the vibe you are going for!

    I have always loved and originally wanted but it didn't work out with our theme. Yes, yes and yes! Go for it. It makes the bride pop that much more!

    My girls wore black. I loved that they got to pick them out and wear them again!

    My BM are in black as well! It was so much easier to then tel them just get whatever black long dress they liked and so they could choose a style that worked for them. And guys in black tuxes. It is a formal winter wedding. Black in summer on a beach might be weird, but could work with the fabric. My mom was a little taken aback at first, but is now on board. Plus, next to black you will really stand out in your wedding dress (assuming it's not black, lol)!
