"There has been a growing interest in black wedding dresses," Tova Marc, a wedding gown designer who specializes in non-traditional colors, tells Shine. "They are tired of the same old white and ivory." Marc also says Lady Gaga's edgy look has had an impact on brides-to-be. Who knew Lady Gaga's fans would translate that into their weddings?
Supposedly, this trend in black gowns started with Vera Wang's runway show in 2011 which paraded 15 black-ish wedding dresses. But, black isn't for everyone, certainly not for me though the designs of some of these dresses below are very lovely. Check out other non traditional brides, here, and Ufuoma Ejenebor's Gray and White gown, here.
No pun intended but over my dead body will I wear black for my wedding, is it a funeral?
ReplyDeleteI can see myself in the second and third designs, but not in black, maybe ivory with touches of pink.

I can totally wear a black wedding dress if it is supper stunning but I would prefer white with a....let me not give away my dream wedding style!
ReplyDeleteI am all for balking at tradition. I wouldn't were black, maybe gold, or royal purple. I can definitley see myself wearing something different completely out of the norm.
ReplyDeleteThank God I am married. No hard feelings oh...but I can't wear black. Even if it is in vogue......,.our culture doesn't allow black at weddings. Black connotes mourning. . I can imagine mothers and mother-in-laws wailing sef if the bride turns up in black. I am sure the pastor won't join the couple sef.
ReplyDeleteWedding doesn't go with black!
ReplyDeletenna mbanu I just kent, even with all my supposed rebelliousness I fitn't biko. And most of these dresses look more like evening gowns or bridesmaid dresses at best. Now would I get bridesmaids in black? In a heart beat!
ReplyDeleteI like black dresses, tops anything but not a wedding dress
ReplyDeleteHell to the no! No matter how gorgeous they might be, they are just depressing for a wedding. Black tie events never finish na. Haba.
ReplyDeleteGod Gods sake, you are marrying a woman not a dress, I could care less if she was in bag-cloth as long as she turned up!
ReplyDeleteI can wear black any other day of my life. For that one day, allow me my white.
ReplyDeleteI wore a black wedding dress and it was gorgeous, not sombre.
