Black wedding dress

Lanita, on August 8, 2021 at 6:59 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 20
Any brides plan on purchasing a black wedding dress? I'm getting mixed reviews from family about the color choice.

    I didn't, but have seen some beautiful ones! You're the one wearing the dress, not them. Wear what YOU want for YOUR wedding! Smiley smile

    I'm more than likely going to purchase a black dress. I'm a little older and not a fan of white and ivory lol.

    Yup! Not my first marriage and I look better in black. Do what YOU want to do. People will always talk, it’s not your problem.

    Do it do it! I read somewhere earlier that wearing a black dress is bold and for women who own their unique nature Smiley smile

    Love a bride willing to buck tradition! Especially if she’s willing to rock out to her own color choice.

    I love a good coloured dress! I think they can look really stunning and very bridal. I do think that it's very much a personality thing. I think you should ABSOLUTELY do it if it makes you feel the most beautiful and special!

    Do it! I love how I look in black and I'm throwing most traditions out the window. I want my wedding to be the least basic as possible without being tacky.

    I love being different and I know most of my family will be shocked but know it's my style.

    Then go for it. My sister wore a red dress for her wedding about 15 years ago and everyone loved it, including her hubby. Very her!

    I’ve heard from Sadhguru that because black is an absorptive color, wearing it allows you to absorb the energy of the people around you. So it’s great to wear it during happy times and not during sad times as we traditionally do. Marriages are full of happy vibes and you’ll be pulling that happiness in!

    I have a Sophia Tolli Kim that was THE DRESS until my seamstress totally ruined it beyond repair, 4 years ago. I've been looking for another one and finally gave up about a week ago. Went back to the trenches of the bridal stores and ended up buying the 1st and only dress I tried on, a black over champagne dress. It truly is THE DRESS!Black wedding dress 1

    I would be in black if my fiancé’s entire family wouldn’t have a heart attack.
