My husband and his groomsmen wore their dress uniforms. Since all of my bridesmaids were in different cities/states, it was great to just ask them to find a black dress they felt great in. They all got to show their personalities with what they chose and how they did hair/shoes/jewelry.
I think it works well for a formal winter wedding. I went to a wedding over 4th of July weekend years ago and the bridesmaids wore black then, which didn't seem appropriate. Black works well for winter. Just brighten it up with bright color bouquets.
black is so classic I don't think you can go wrong. I've seen some BEAUTIFUL black/white, black/white/gold, black/white/red weddings. Stunning, sophisticated, and elegant!
I considered doing black but didn't because my FH really wants navy for the groomsmen and I just couldn't picture it going well together. I think black looks really beautiful and it makes it much easier for the bridesmaids to pick a dress if you're letting them do different styles.
