Dress questions

Amanda, on February 2, 2022 at 11:54 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 24
How many brides have worn a black dress instead of white? I picked out a GORGEOUS black dress for my wedding because it fits my style/personality better than a white dress….well everyone is trying to get me to change my mind because it’s not a “traditional” white dress. Dress questions 1

    Don't listen to what others say! It's an awesome dress and will be obvious that you're the bride.

    Thank you 🙏🏻 I love the dress! And I did tell everyone it’s my wedding my dress but they are still hounding me about 😂 I’ve been tuning them out lmao. I just wanted to know if any other bride to be was dealing with the same thing.

    My fiancé tells me it could be rainbow and as long as I loved it that’s what counted! You definitely are not along there

    The dress is beautiful. Go with what you want. You have to feel beautiful in what you are wearing and enjoy the pictures for years to come.

    Yes exactly! Everyone is telling me that white means pure and new beginnings. I already have 2 kids before marriage so why wear white 😂 plus I love the idea of a nontraditional wedding…white dresses are elegant and nice for some brides don’t get me wrong! But people need to understand that not everyone pulls off white or they just like other colors more.. for me it’s black for you it’s red either way it’s the bride and grooms day and we are going to look gorgeous in whatever color we decide on

    Yessss! Everyone can have their opinions but they should be respectful of your choice period! I have been married before so I totally feel you!! I like to be different. We are eloping on Brooklyn bridge and I already ruffled my family members feathers by picking that (I am from Indiana) my fiancé is from Brooklyn and my daughter got her name from Brooklyn bridge so it was perfect for us! What is good for you and your fiancé may not be good for others but it’s what you pick and want to remember always!

    I have my maid of honor who will be in gold and 2 bridesmaids who will be in olive green and then my fiancé will have a black tie and grey shirt while his best man will have a gold tie and the two groomsmen will have olive green to match the girls dresses…at least that what I’m think of right now 😂

    I think its stunning. Basing opinions purely off tradition is dumb anyway

    I agree! Especially because some of the traditions have a dark background 😅😂

    I have a white dress but I definitely debated a pink one, if I could have found something I liked! There weren't really any nice ones here in Australia though, so I settled on a pink sash.

    I agree with the others - it's your day, and I kind of LOVE seeing people's personalities shine through in the type of dress they chose! It's part of the enjoyment for me, as a guest!

    I wonder if they could have dyed it pink 🤔 I’ve seen where some shapes will dye a dress a different color if you asked. I agree though weddings are meant to be about the couple’s personality and of course their love for each other

    I bet they could! but, weirdly enough the dress I would have chosen in pink would have been very different from the white one!

    I knew that I either wanted something REALLY unusual and dramatic with loads of details, texture, 3D flowers etc. ORRRR I'd go for the complete other end of the spectrum - a super plain, timeless dress, which is what I ended up with! These had been my inspiration pictures for a super long time -

    Aww, thank you! I would have loved pink, but it had to be the right one, and I had to fall deeply in love - but because there was so little to try on here, I just didn't find anything that made me feel like that. Plus, I know there will be many, many opportunities to wear more pink dresses, but this is really the only time I'll get to wear a big ol' white ballgown, haha!

    Meanwhile my husband to be is so funny - he said he knew for sure I didn't have a pink dress because my bridesmaid dresses were pink - and he's totally right!

    But yeah, I LOVE coloured dresses!
