How to Wear Black Designer Wedding Dresses and Look Beautiful (Not Bewildering)
Your mom thinks you’ve gone off the deep end. Your sisters think you’re hexing your own wedding. Your groom-to-be is confused, and his mom thinks this is one more proof you have a few marbles missing.
But there’s no changing your mind, no talking you out of your plan to literally turn heads on your wedding day. White designer Wedding Dresses may be all the rage, but you’re dead-sure they’re not for you. You are wearing black, and for you there is no turning back.
Black Is Beautiful
The good news (yes there is a silver lining to this, um, literally dark cloud) is that you won’t be the first bride to chuck off traditional Designer Wedding Dresses in favor of something more funky. So, go ahead and wear black on your wedding.
Style icon Sarah Jessica Parker wore black to her wedding in 1997. That trivia may not make much sense to your groom but at the very least, you can now tell your mother-in-law and your sisters (who are convinced you will make them wear – gasp! – teal bridesmaid dresses) you are not committing fashion hara-kiri; you are in fact repeating a trend not too long ago set by the ultimate fashion plate, SJP. Yes, black is beautiful; and what’s more, brides have worn them for years! From the wedding dresses in Missisauga to the glam designer wedding dresses of Hollywood, you can bet your favorite pair of stilettos there is a black Wedding Dress in there somewhere.
Black Up With Care
Of course, black designer wedding dresses are not exactly the easiest to carry off. There is a very thin line between looking edgy and looking like Dracula’s bride. You don’t want to cross that line, especially not on your wedding day. So you won’t go overboard on your goth theme, here are some tips and suggestions for rocking your black dress without OD’ing.
Nix dark makeup. Sure, you want sexy smoky eyes. But you are already wearing black, woman! Very dark eyeliner will make you look like something that just walked out of the graveyard. So, go easy on the eyeliner and aim for a dewy, fresh-faced look instead.
Don’t choose heavy fabrics. Nothing screams “I’m a bride who hasn’t gotten over her Gothic teen years!” more than black velvet. The best fabrics to choose for your dress are light satin and thinly layered chiffon. Their lightness will provide refreshing contrast to the overpowering darkness of your dress.
Go for clean lines. Black is a very dramatic color, so keep all other details of your dress simple. Look for one with a tight bodice and a flowing skirt or anything with a clean, streamlined fit. Whatever you do, do not incorporate long sleeves into your dress. You’re a bride-to-be, not a walk-in for a Bram Stoker film.
Of course, there are more ways to glam up black designer wedding dress. But these three basic tips should be enough to point you in the right direction. Remember, even SJP admits regretting her decision to wear black on her wedding. Wear yours right so you won’t end up whistling the same tune.

The Bridesmaid $6.29 After years of watching couples come to blows over ice sculptures Abby wants no part of the family business. She’d rather spend weekends kicking a soccer ball or antagonizing Noah the cute son of a famous pastry chef-not doing the Electric Slide.

So what if Carol turns into Bridezilla? So what if the dresses are hideous? So what if the invitations get messed up? So what if Noah looks extra hot with frosting in his hair? Abby can handle it. After all it’s just one day. Right? From the Trade Paperback edition. |

101 Uses for a Bridesmaid Dress $3.95 Bridesmaid dresses — what are they good for? We’ve got to pay for them, wear them, and then find a spot for them in the back of the closet. Our best women friends, suddenly transformed into tasteful-white-dress-wearing brides, tell us, "You’ll be able to wear "this" bridesmaid dress again." But we know better. "101 Uses for a Bridesmaid Dress, " tongue firmly in cheek, pokes fun at the hopelessly horrible dress that a bride asks her "court" to don. These whimsical illustrations and silly suggestions, from cocktail napkins and shower curtains, to pony blankets and frilly jock straps, are a hilarious antidote to the bridesmaid dresses we’ll "never" wear again. |

The Bridesmaid’s Survival Guide $3.95 A laugh-out-loud look at what the author has dubbed "the walk of infamy", "The Bridesmaid’s Survival Guide" is a step-by-step analysis of a rite of passage that befalls nearly all women at one time in their lives. "The Bridesmaid’s Survival Guide" humorously acknowledges the plight of those women made to stuff themselves into frightful dresses to watch their friends and loved-ones ride off into the sunset toward happily-ever-after. Inspired by the author/illustrator Mary Kay McDermott’s experiences as a bridesmaid herself, the book is filled with folksy, full-color cartoons that breathe life into McDermott’s uproarious musings. This wry look at the excesses of modern weddings makes the perfect gift for bridesmaids from brides. Best of all, it brings a welcome dose of levity to an often arduous process, providing women with an opportunity to laugh at themselves and their newfound or remembered role. |

It’s Never Too Late to Be a Bridesmaid $3.99 Look, I’ve been in scads of weddings, my own (leading to a dismal marriage and an even more dismal divorce) and approximately twenty-seven others. Which means that I’ve propped up hysterical brides, sobered up inebriated grooms, changed dirty diapers on flower girls, and worn bridesmaid dresses that were patterned after the Hindenburg. So now that my daughter Jenna has been bitten by the matrimonial bug . . . I can handle it. Being Mother of the Bride couldn’t be any worse than being in those other weddings, could it? In a word, “yes.” I’m going to need some serious help. But my posse, my three very best friends, have zoomed into the Twilight Zone. |

Bridesmaid on a Budget: How to Be a Brilliant Bridesmaid without Breaking the Bank $12.39 Bridesmaids today face an average expense of more than 3000 when they accept the invitation to be in a bridal party. Add in the cost of travel and lodging—which is increasingly becoming necessary with the growing popularity of destination weddings—and that 3000 climbs to an even higher price tag. It’s hard to say no when a friend asks you to be a part of their wedding but in this economy most bridesmaids just don't have the money to participate—not without ending up with a handful of maxed-out credit cards and a whole lot of resentment anyway. In Bridesmaid on a Budget Sharon Naylor—the author of multiple best-selling budgeting books for brides—offers women advice on how to beat the system. Naylor gives tips on where to find the best most affordable dresses and accessories; planning fantastic (but low-cost) showers and bachelorette parties; giving a great wedding gift without emptying your pocketbook; minimizing the extra expenses of a destination wedding; and more. For the almost 10 million women per year who become one Bridesmaid on a Budget is an indispensable guide to being a brilliant bridesmaid—without breaking the bank. |

Bridesmaid $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The bridesmaids are members of the brides wedding party in a wedding. A bridesmaid is typically a young woman, and often a close friend or sister. She attends to the bride on the day of a wedding or marriage ceremony. Traditionally, bridesmaids were chosen from unwed young women of marriageable age. The principal bridesmaid, if one is so designated, may be called the chief bridesmaid or maid of honor if she is unmarried, or the matron of honor if she is married. A junior bridesmaid is a girl who is clearly too young to be marriageable, but who is included as an honorary bridesmaid. Often there is more than one bridesmaid: in modern times the bride chooses how many to ask. Historically, no person of status went out unattended, and the size of the retinue was closely calculated to be appropriate to the familys social status. Then, as now, a large group of bridesmaids provided an opportunity for showing off the familys social status and wealth.
