Wearing black, or any other color for that matter, in a wedding, you must first consider the color, lighting, location and time of the ceremony. “A black dress would look chic for an 8pm wedding in Manhattan, but out of place for a 1pm ceremony on a farm.” Try to imagine how your black bridesmaid dresses would go with the flowers. Dark purple flowers or bright red bouquets complement well.

Choosing black bridesmaid dresses for your wedding will definitely make your bridesmaids happy, though I can’t say the same thing for your mother. Wearing black on a wedding is versatile enough to wear it to other occasions. With this in mind, try to consider your bridesmaid’s personal choice in the length or style of the dress since they will be the ones to wear the dress. Since the black bridesmaid dresses can be worn even after the wedding, they may choose a strapless or knee-length style perfect for other formal events.

Since black is somber in nature and weddings are supposed to be joyous and festive, balance the dark color with bright or shiny accessories If the bridesmaid dress is short, have fun with your shoes. A pair of strappy, metallic shoes can add color to the dress without overpowering it. Chartreuse, cobalt blue and pink will bring the black bridesmaid dress to life without overshadowing the bold color. Metallic colors such as gold, silver and bronze go best with black and are also flexible enough to be worn for other occasions.

Customized sets of jewelry are an amazing addition to wearing black. Either you choose classic crystals or a set that matches with your wedding theme livens up the serious image in a huge way. Hair accessories can brighten up the whole ensemble too with a bright-colored flower or a sleek satin headband to create a beautiful contrast against black.

You can get pretty creative with the bridesmaid bouquets. Black bridesmaid dresses tend to be simple so this is your opportunity to have fun by choosing flowers like in bright and vibrant colors. Spotted orchids, a bold combination of cherry and lime, and even fun additions like feathers and crystals to the bouquet.

Wearing black doesn’t have to be somber. Black has simple, classic elegance that makes it a fashion must-have for every woman. Have fun with your black bridesmaid dresses with bright, colorful or metallic accessories and enjoy your wedding with a mix of elegance and fun that is simply perfect.
