Black Bridesmaid Dresses

Does anyone have any pictures of weddings that had black bridesmaid dresses and black tuxes. I'm afraid that my pictures will look too blended with so much black on black. Thanks!

Re: Black Bridesmaid Dresses

My girls are wearing black. I will post a pic of the dress in a second. I have seen pics of 'black and white' wedding parties and I think it looks very elegant. But then again I am bias since it is what I am having.

I do have to add my girls were VERY happy with the dress.

I went to a wedding on Oct 5 where the girls wore black and it looked great. They wore Dessy #1952.

Re: Black Bridesmaid Dresses

Here is my BM dress. It's obviously not all black, but you get the idea. We are having the men in all black. Perhaps if you're worried because your girls are in all black, you can have the guys wear vests that are different, like a nice pewter. Also, the girls flowers will help offset the black...

Re: Black Bridesmaid Dresses

I don't have any pics handy of this, but my FSIL did this and gave us all cream colored shawls for a little contrast. Just a thought...

Re: Black Bridesmaid Dresses

I think the black makes the bride stand out even more in pics!

Our guys and Matt are wearing a platinum colored vest and tie and the girls are carrying fall colored flowers which will be a nice contrast against the black.

Re: Black Bridesmaid Dresses

I hate to admit this but my bm's and moh are wearing black but I told them to get whatever dress they want but it had to be long. Well, the wedding is 7 weeks away and none of them have dresses yet!!!!!

I have to go drag them out and hope they fit into and find a dress off of the rack at a department store or this could turn very ugly!!!!

Re: abc

that's terrible!!! I'm sorry to hear that.. but the good thing is that they don't have to have identical dresses.. and who doesn;t carry a black dress!!

Check out Lord & Taylor or even the bridal dept of a major dept store.. (try Macy's in roosevelt field too)you never know what you'll find!!

and even Estelle's!!

Re: abc

I recommend trying Estelle's if you have patience. I had some great luck there this past weekend - I needed a dress for Michele31's wedding, and I found something that I LOVE, without needed a single alteration! Thank goodness!

Re: abc

My SIL had a black and white wedding. Not only were all of us in the BP in black, but so were the mothers. The pictures came out gorgeous, not blah at all. Color was added by our flowers and the scenary. If you want, I could scan some pictures and try to post, but it will have to wait till next week. Let me know.

Re: abc

We r having a black and white wedding also. The dresses look so elegant! I was in a wedding with those colors and the dresses in the pics looked great!
Try Davids bridal they have something were they can order dresses fast. Or you might be able to buy right off the rack there.
