I want to wear a black wedding dress, but my bridesmaids will be wearing black too?
Q. Will this be a bad idea for me to have the same color dress? I really want black. Our colors are orange and black. I was thinking about having them wear burnt orange dresses, but seriously - who looks good in orange?! Anyone have any ideas/alternatives?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. Why not? It's not unheard of for brides in white to have "all white" bridal parties. Many people think it looks very chic. So there's no reason why you can't do that with black. I assume you'll be wearing a veil, and that your gown will be fancier than a typical 'maids gown. And even if not, if the guests can't tell who the bride is, why are they at your wedding?!
P.S. Don't listen to the uneducated kids on here who say you can't wear black. A bridal gown can be a variety of colors. White gowns became popular in Western culture in the past couple of hundred years because they were meant to signify that you were rich and could afford a gown that you would wear only once. There was no such thing as dry cleaning! You can thank Queen Victoria for that trend. Before that, a wedding gown was a bride's best dress...in any color. Poor brides typically wore their "Sunday Best". So a white wedding gown is NOT a long standing "tradition".
Also, in Asian cultures, *white* is the color of mourning. Brides traditionally wear RED in Asian weddings, and beautiful multicolored bridal outfits are worn for East Indian weddings. Colored and black bridal gowns are also very popular in Europe. It is very rude for people to make comments about your gown based on their own narrow opinions, even more so when they may be insulting your culture. Many brides who like Gothic culture and/or are having Halloween weddings also prefer black gowns. I hate white, look terrible and washed out in it (I'm a pale blonde), and didn't want to look like a "McBride". So I had a custom made gown in baby pink. It looked great and I loved it! It's YOUR wedding, wear whatever you want!
I think you can definitely pull off wearing the same color dress. You can work the orange into your bouquets. You can consider working some white roses into yours if you like to differentiate it. You may also want to consider a red gown, with red roses. Also very chic and "Gothic" looking.
Good luck!
P.P.S. Here's one example:

Offbeat Bride's website has MANY examples of gorgeous dark purple and/or black gowns, if that is also something you might like.
Edit: Why do people KEEP suggesting a "white gown with black trim" when she clearly said that she wants a BLACK gown, NOT a *white* gown with black accents....

What wedding colors are suggested for a black and peach wedding dress?
Q. I am in the wedding planning process however I have yet to decide what wedding colors would be best to work with. My theme is a combination of old world Victorian Gothic styles (a la Tim Burton), and a light hearted fairy tale that will be held in the fall. We are trying to stick to eco friendly methods, or at least sustainable. In case this may help, here is the link to a picture of my dress

A. I'd suggest putting the bridesmaids in a darker hue than yourself. Something like this http://www.dimitradesigns.com/shopcart/ProductLayouts/ProductDetailDisplay.asp?CategoryID=89&ProductID=507 would make sense, I think. I think your wedding dress is very unique!
Congrats!
I hope this helps.

Can you have a black and white wedding dress with a hot pink theme?
Q. I am getting married next June (2012) and I have my heart set on a black and white dress. However, I also quite fancy having hot pink flowers and cravats etc. Do you think this would work?
A. Sure. Just have a hot pink bouquet(as it seems you already plan) and have the groomsmen and bridesmaids in hot pink. I'd give your groom a cravat to match the detailing on your gown.
Hot pink and black look fantastic together, so maybe have a few other pops of black in other places in the wedding. Maybe black vases in the reception, or black monograms on things. It will really tie in the dress with everything else.
