What do you think about black wedding dresses?

Question

COMMODOREII · Accepted Answer

White dresses have been traditionally the color of purity, virginity, or good. But today I have seen brides getting married in star trek uniforms or star wars jedi gear or storm trooper armour. I have seen brides where black, pink, blue, orange, red, etc dresses. The truth about the wedding I can see is that it depends on those getting married on what they find fun for themselves not by what they wear. After all the possibility of only getting married once in a lifetime, you should have full freedom to choose what you want to wear at your wedding. To answer the question? I think its cool. 😎😎

A Western wedding dress in black? Black in the West is the color or mourning, like in funerals. That might not be very auspicious.

Even in Japan (where white is the funeral-color), there is Yin-Yang inspired balance.

And in other cultures with non-white/non-black wedding-garb, they're usually bright & colorful.

I think as long as I’m not expected to pay for it then the bride can and should wear any color she wants.
As for me personally, I’d love a red wedding dress, same thing as above applies, if I’m not asking you to pay for it then I don’t really give a shit what you or anyone else thinks and those opinions can be kept to themselves. As soon as you wanna open your wallet up then we can talk. Until then, not really any of your business. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Black is definitely not a color for a wedding, in my opinion. Whether you're the bride or a guest. To me, it would look very strange. I wouldn't laugh behind her back, like someone said below, but it would make me feel like I just attended a funeral instead of a wedding. I would not wear a black wedding dress myself.

Anonymous · Answer

nothing wrong with it. just seems to be a bit dark for a wedding. I always though red would be a good color for a wedding dress.

JackareJack · Answer

They honestly strike me as funeral wear. Obviously if it's your wedding then go with whatever you and your fiance want to wear. But just remember that even if you do really like them, it carries connotations that your guests may be puzzled by.

A good example of this is wearing a red dress to a wedding. In the UK, wearing red has traditionally been viewed as a form of silent protest by a guest, who does not approve of the wedding. If you're looking for a traditional ceremony, then it's definitely a good idea to look up the traditional symbolism of wedding attire.

Love it. Stupid cunts who insist white is the only one you can wear make me sick. These bitches wear white for purity. Who you kidding bitch. It is your third marriage you have 4 kids and you take it up the ass because your pussy is stretched out but you are wearing white for purity. Get out of the church too

1truekhaleesi · Answer

I love it! Traditionally, the Spanish wore black dresses to symbolize "til death do us part." Traditional is just a fancy way of saying that people are still trying to please dead people. It's their wedding no one else's, they can do what. If anyone doesn't like it, they don't have to come to the wedding. I'm going to wear what I want and keep my guest list small.

TheUniqueOne96 · Answer

I don't think it looks bad, but for me, it just doesn't really seem to go for a wedding, I don't think.

Still though, people like what they like and if that's what a couple want, then so be it, it's nothing bad - plus some people like having a theme or something when it comes to a wedding.

AngelLily · Answer

The dress it self is pretty but for me I definitely wouldn't wear the color because to me a wedding is a Happy Holy and Pure event and a completely black wedding dress with even a black wedding veil for me is kinda funeralish and can symbolize death are rebellion in a way.

HomoFuge · Answer

I don’t like it because I think black is associated with mourning and death, something that is the complete opposite of getting married.

Indian brides traditionally wear red so I would probably wear red when I get married.

Jersey2 · Answer

Dumb as fuck... no matter how you try and sell it, it’s a funeral dress. Most guests would laugh behind your back.

Anonymous · Answer

I love it, very chic and a break from tradition. But many won't. I like non-white dresses period as a spin on thing. Thing sex and the city too when the bridesmaids had stylish but different bridesmaids dresses. I won't be having a wedding anyway (too expensive, unless hubby is making mega bank) but I'd wear a non-white dress if the mood struck me.

markscott · Answer

black is he color of mourning. If you're happy to be getting married, why wear the color of mourning.

molonski2 · Answer

Id be nervous enough standing there , yet alone to have confirmation that I am attending my own funeral , scarey and frightening.

Possibly only because of the stereotypical nature of my thoughts , but I could not deal with it.

BandsTrash · Answer

i think they are beautiful. for me, a traditional wedding dress seems quite basic and boring

ZELLxoxo · Answer

Something about it doesn't look right attire for the wedding.
There's a time and place for everything and while you don't have to wear white ( or any tradition wedding dress colours) but why go to such extremes?

MrHopper · Answer

I am getting married in white and she is wearing black! :)

The6ix · Answer

Nah, I don't know why but a black dress like that to me would symbolize death, and for me marriage is a new chapter in one's life, a new start in this world.

Mollynotgemma · Answer

Personal opinion! Why not! Wearing white is a sign of virginity... yet most are not virgins so being hypocrites. By wearing black your being true to yourself!

CherryRoseChampange · Answer

Lmao, I'd add some metallic in there to make things flare a bit more. It's a little dull just like a plain white dress. Add some nice patterns or shimmer and it should be a little better.

Arcano · Answer

I love them. I've always dressed gothic, and black of course plays into that in terms of a wedding dress. My one fear would be that the dress would just look like something I'd wear on a normal day.

Oram52 · Answer

Personally I like them, black used to be common for wedding dresses. But white still looks better, it might also be we associate white with wedding. Red dresses look good too. Black is nice colour though definitely.

Anonymous · Answer

Personally I don't like it. It's okay if your entire wedding is a vampire theme. Black is associated with dying and grief. If a bride wears black, it would be like she's mourning the loss of her life before marriage. Lol

Amanda269 · Answer

Wedding dresses used to be black, so you could use it again. The white dress started because of a British royal choose a white dress. Believe it was victoria the first.

NightFlirt · Answer

Nothing wrong with it in my opinion. As far as we know it could be a Goth wedding in which case black would be very appropriate.

MajesticTwelve · Answer

It's probably only done to be different or "shocking" Some color other than white, I guess is fine (though I prefer traditional) but black is just too far.

GermanGuy87 · Answer

if you don't like the traditional white i'd go with almost any other color than black

Adam1978 · Answer

No thank you, that like a sorrow dress, it's like either my or her life is soon over. I don't want to find out which.

guacamoleee · Answer

its your wedding so you can wear whatever you want but I personally think its creepy af and look like your going to your fiancée's funeral

Lauren-green · Answer

I mean its a pretty dress, but I just don't think its a real wedding dress. Traditionally the bride wears white as symbol of purity and happiness.

TayTay21 · Answer

Too morbid for me. I want to be the superfit, hardbody glam slut who all the men wish they had on my wedding day, fem but playful and fun.

Bananaman177 · Answer

That's what color MOST women should be forced to wear.  Nowadays they let anybody wear a white dress, it doesn't even mean anything anymore.

JohnAlaska43 · Answer

Seriously if you like its ok. I dont see anything wrong with it.  Id prefer traditinoal white though.

JKingOff · Answer

Are you going to a funeral? Did someone die? Is the wedding corpse Bride themed?

daniel5863 · Answer

Black is more out of the ordinary at first look it might seem a bit odd to most people due to in the past the black dress being for widows, also the color black is usually associated to death and it will be avoided from more superstitious people.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

Unique. It's just a color so it's not a big deal. Even goths can wear white

CassMi · Answer

Hmm nothing against the non so traditional white, but most reactions would be "what kind of wedding is this?" Despite that my mum was married wearing blue because the traditional white dress was too expensive
