Black wedding dress

May 5th, 2008 · Wedding porn · 17 comments

I’ve been waiting to see if the much-discussed black wedding dress trend would actually come to fruition this year.

I mean sure, there have always been fabulous gothic brides who wear black, but rumor had it this was going to be the year that ladies other than my Brides Of The Night broke out the black dresses.

…And it looks like it’s finally coming to pass.

(Thanks to chris_kisela for the photo!)

    Finally! Now I’ll have something to show my fiancĂ© when he gives me crap about wearing black to our wedding! I love that someone’s doing it. I probably won’t go this fancy, but still. I love the blue on her bridesmaids as well. Beautiful bride!

    I’ve been searching for the designer of this dress.
    I found out it’s likely an Allure Quinceanera gown # ALUQ032
    Now I’m seriously considering one of their gowns # ALUQ032 in ivory.
    Although I’d probably hand embroider a black shadow line around the silver.
    I love the detachable train option.

    Yikes, it’s not ALUQ032, it’s ALUQ112 that I have developed a serious and possibly incurable dress-lust for.

    I am pretty relieved that this is coming into fashion. We’re having a “HalloWedding” in October, and my dress is black and dark purple, from fairygothmother.com.

    My mother and other family members are balking at my dress colors but I’m excited!

    Black is such an elegant choice. It’s good to see people getting a little more adventurous with wedding fashion.

    Hey Im planning a Halloween wedding too!And been looking for a perfect dress too I have a white gown but it was given to me by someone who knew I didnt want a all white wedding gown.So Ive been searching for a colored wedding gown and I dont have alot of money since we are paying for the wedding ourselves and Im a single mom so its tough to find something.I may have to just add color somehow to the gown and hope it will work out! I am planning on wearing a wing with it to be an angel or butterfly or something of that nature. Anyways Congrats to the couple!!, great wedding photos too!

    I am also wearing a “black” wedding dress, although it’s an ivory dress with a black lace overlay. Ladies wear whatever you want!!!
