Most brides like the light color for their wedding dress. However dark wedding dresses can create a dramatic look for your wedding day. Follow these tips to help you make the most of your dream dress:
Black and white weddings can be stunning, but so is a pop of color against a black dress. Bright red, vibrant fuchsia, and sunset orange flowers, accessories and accents will stand out in a black themed wedding.
Mix up tradition when you wear a black dress by having the groom wear an all-white tuxedo.
Bring your entire look together with tiaras, combs and jewelry with black stones.
To avoid looking like a vampire bride, avoid a red lip and black cat-eye makeup combination. Make sure your foundation matches your skin tone and use bronzer for a healthy glow.
Choose bridesmaid dresses with a black sash or wrap.
Sequins and rhinestones can add interest to a plain black dress. Sew them onto the neckline or around a ribbon that will be tied on your waist.
Dye your wedding veil black to match your dress, or skip the veil entirely.
Wearing black on your wedding day does not mean your entire dress has to be black. Instead, opt for a white, ivory or cream dress with black accents, like those found in Alfred Angelo's Dream in Color collection. Add black accessories like hair pieces, gloves, shoes and jewelry to bring the look together.
