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.

    I'm going non traditional. I found this beauty at Cocomelody. I'm too clumsy to wear white anyway. Good luck! Smiley smile

    Of course wear what you want but if you wanna do what you want and make your FH happy, maybe wear 2 dresses like @Candace did. Either way, non-traditional dresses are still gorgeous! Good luck on what ever you choose!

    You could always "glam" the black up a bit with beading. Then it has some wedding and some you if that makes sense.

    Remember that Brides did not wear white to their wedding until queen Victoria did. So go with any color you would like. Its your special day!

    I wish I could find better pics of my sister's ensemble..she had a white dress with black ribbon and lace and it came with an AMAZING long sleeve black satin over coat that had white beading around the top - the coat was too small for her but it fit me so I wore it for my birthday (which is halloween) to make up my evil queen outfit. Lol

    This is the only pic I have of her dress where you can see the belt and part of the lace

    Picture of me in her coat as part of my costume...only pic I had but you can see it had white trim and beading to contrast what the dress has and the coat is what was the "train" it was long and gorgeous..will see if I can find a stock photo online...

    Oh found it!! And yes, she ordered a knock off of an expensive one, it was still gorgeous. Anyway, thought this could also be a compromise option. (Sorry for 3 diff. comments, I'm on mobile)

    I'm very tempted by silver dresses, but I'll likely just end up in ivory with either a silver or blush veil.

    Since when is black not glamorous on its own?

    I'm wearing a dress that will have a purple tint for the top but white for the bottom. I completely fell in love with it, I was open to whatever with color!

    All these dresses look amazing! !!

    The quality of that fabric is amazing because it looks like somebody melted literal gold and made it into a dress...

    I'm so excited for this thread! So many lovely and beautiful dresses and ladies. I'm planning a black dress (my mom and a friend are going to make, they are both amazing seamstress') and this just made my night. Hope everyone finds the perfect dress that they love no matter the color!!

    This whole thread makes me wish I had gone for my dress in red. Here in China, many people wear red gowns and they're so gorgeous. They had an entire section of them at the boutique where I bought my dress. You ladies look amazing, I love all the color!

    @ thenextmrsjohnson I was about to post that style!

    I remember, its a Davinci 8220 dress. I remember seeing it when I looked at prom dresses at a dress shop 7 years ago and I wanted it for my wedding. Too bad I forgot about it when I was dress shopping. I dont even think they make it anymore. Its still super stunning!

    I almost went with a gorgeous gold gown but I decided to try on one last one to be sure. So I ended up loving that last ivory gown. I love all these colored dresses!

    Also @elphaba I want to look like you when I'm 42. You're beautiful.

    And @jorocka if I could be half as stunning as you are on my wedding day, I'll be happy!

    Y'all just look so happy and confident as it shows!
