No matter how viral a trending or new season colour may be—ahem, Barbie pink—no shade, tint or hue will ever truly be ‘the new black’.
Sartorially speaking, black is timeless, elegant, and universally flattering. All these factors (and more) make black the perfect colour for your bridesmaid dresses.
Catering to each of your bridesmaids’ complexions, skin tones and hair can make finding a colour that suits everybody feel impossible—that is, unless you opt for black.
The dramatic colour also lends itself to happy couples opting for a classic aesthetic or a formal wedding, bringing an effortless touch of glamour to your nuptials.
Is It OK To Have Black Bridesmaid Dresses?
You may be forgiven for thinking black is a no-no at a wedding, but this traditional rule no longer applies.
Once reserved for mourning and funerals, black dresses, including those worn by your bridesmaids, are not only appropriate but look sophisticated and stylish—particularly in wedding photos.
