With so many gorgeous black wedding dresses out there, from dramatic ballgowns to slinky slips, it’s easy to see why this flattering hue has quickly become an instant classic suited for any bridal style. And not just because they look good on you either – celebrities and influencers alike are jumping onto this trend.
The options for black wedding dresses with clean structured silhouettes are endless. A minimalist bride searching for simplicity can find inspiration in sleek slip dresses or body-skimming sheaths while the dark shade is especially perfect for ultra-dramatic brides seeking to make a statement. Elaborate black ballgowns are well-suited for Halloween-themed and goth-themed weddings. And for destination wedding brides – this color can be worn at all kinds of wedding nuptials, from religious ceremonies to civil weddings, without ever looking dull or outdated.
Many major designers will now make custom alterations to existing gown styles (so you can see if requesting a color change is possible). Or some have had custom gowns made from Etsy designers. There are many options now if a black gown is your goal!
