Planning
Black bridesmaid dresses... granted, we are nearing Halloween, but that’s not the reason we’re bringing you this. Now, when you initially think of them, they may not be your first choice. But let us change your mind! Firstly, there’s a reason the LBD is your go-to, so why not make it your go-to when thinking about your girls? Black happens to be incredibly flattering, and it’s also super chic. A black tie wedding with an evening wear dress code? We love. Now, as we said, it may not be your initial choice, but we’re here with some inspiration that’s bound to get you thinking. So, don’t go anywhere as we take you on a journey into the realm of unconventional bridesmaid dresses that you really don’t want to miss. Of course, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite looks from real weddings. Let’s do this, shall we?
Black bridesmaid dresses from real weddings!
Different Style Black Bridesmaid Dresses
Having your girls in different style dresses is a real win these days. This is simply because not one style suits all! We must say though, choosing black as your colour is a real win if you’re looking to have everyone in the same look. It’s super flattering and we can guarantee you’ll find a style that every one of your bridesmaids loves. However, if you’re still going down the route of choosing a look to suit you, then don’t miss Kate & Kit’s real wedding. Her girls look simply stunning in their black dresses, all in slightly different looks. It works perfectly, especially alongside the white bouquets.
