The bride wore black?

Any brides out there who wore black or any other non traditional color? I've never pictured myself wearing white or cream as I am goth, my family doesn't expect anything less, but FH family wants more traditional even though we're having an "until death" themed Halloween time wedding.

    @Elphaba I've never seen photos of real-life you and I have to say you are absolutely STUNNING. You look so sweet, young, and beautiful in those shots. Sorry -- I'm just speechless looking at those pics!

    Elphaba! I've never seen pictures of your dress before. You look amaaaazing!!!

    Jorocka, every time I see a photo of you killing it in that dress I think that I should have gone black.

    This sounds so fun! I recently saw a dress that was white but faded to black.

    I'm going black dress.. was going to do white but not my style. I'm the crazy, adventurous one and my wedding attire will totally reflect that.

    @PWG - you still have time to get a black one! But would is clash with your FW's dapper blue suit??

    I really love these black dresses here. They look fantastic. It shows that it's more important than to be in something you love than something that's "traditional."

    If you love it, you will feel comfortable and happy and own that shit.

    @victoria that dress is STUNNING..holy bananas.

    If I didn't get the dress I did I would have went with a black dress. I think FH was hoping I would do black but when he sees me in the dress I did get I think he will be blown away.

    Girl, you wear WHATEVER you want! Black gowns can be so beautiful.

    I'll be wearing Ivory, but I attended a wedding a couple of weeks back where the bride wore red - it was amazing! Her whole wedding was FULL of color and it was so unique.

    Sara- thank you- Pixie is a genius- I LOVE looking at my pictures- I feel like I look like a fucking 10 every time I look at them. She's just- MAGIC- took my breath away when I finally saw them.

    Just IMHO- goes to show you- hiring a great team, make up- photographer and venue makes all the difference in the world. It absolutely shows when it all comes together.

    Why does 42 year old Elphaba look way younger than 28 year old me? This is entirely unfair.

    I went to a wedding and the bride wore black and she looked beautiful. It was a beautiful lace mermaid gown in black. It was so lovely I wish I had a picture.

    I'm in the same gothy boat as you. I really wanted a black dress for a while. I still do, I think. But right now, I'm toying with the idea of a white dress with a deep red, floor length hooded cape instead of a veil. So far (in my VERY early searches), finding a dress has been easier and I still retain the macabre vibes that make my gothy little heart zing.

    I really wish i would have chosen black. I saw this post on fb the other day and i wanted to share with you. Just so that you can see the beauty of a black dress on a bride. Absolutely gorgeous.!
