How do you relate to the color black? Some people, mostly wedding traditionalists will say black as a color for the wedding or the attire outside of the groom and groomsmen is depressive, drab or even inappropriate. However, is that how you feel? I will give you a minute – think about using black wedding decorations or black bridesmaid gowns. What do you think?

Black Bridesmaid Dresses - Reasons This is a Great Idea

I think a better way to look at the color black and weddings include words like elegant, classy, and beautiful. When you specifically look at the color black for bridesmaid dresses there are reasons to seriously consider it. For one thing, everyone looks good in black. Whether you only have a few bridesmaids or a dozen one of the things you should consider is that all colors do not look great on all people. Things like skin tone, body type and hair color can dramatically affect the way a dress looks from one person to another. If you choose pastels or other light colors, this could be an issue. When you choose black, the dress should look good on everyone.

Another thing to think about is how the color of the bridesmaid dresses will go with the rest of the wedding. If you choose a peach, a lilac or a soft green, how will that look in the setting of the ceremony, the setting of the reception and everything in between? The color black will certainly not clash with anything and it will allow you to have more freedom in choosing decorations and flowers as everything will go with it just fine.

However if you have started planning your wedding at all you will probably realize this is true on many things. You need to decide what choices are most important to you and make a decision.
