When you picture a gorgeous wedding gown, you probably envision a beautiful bride decked out in white. Once associated with purity and virtue, this color has come to symbolize brides in general. It's not essential, however, and modern brides are more willing than ever to experiment with a variety of colors.
Black can be an especially bold choice for contemporary or gothic wedding dresses. Daring brides love this edgy look, which is undeniably memorable. It's also versatile: black gowns can be sophisticated, sensual, or whimsical.
Flattering for bodies of all shapes and sizes, this color works well with today's most popular silhouettes and sleeve types. From the sleek mermaid to the classic A-line and even with sleeves or tulle lace, there's no denying the appeal (or practicality) of a stunning black bridal gown.
