Black bridesmaids dresses are very fashionable these days and dressing your bridesmaids in black can certainly create a dramatic visual effect.
There are advantages and disadvantages to using such a strong colour for a wedding, not the least of which will be whether you are opting for a formal or informal ceremony?

Characteristics
The characteristics that the colour Black are said to symbolise include sophistication, elegance, formality, modernity and rebellion. The religious connotations with the colour black may cause objections within the realms of a traditional Church service, but for a civil occasion then there will likely be no such limits?

Benefits
The benefits of opting for black are numerous; and include the fact that black is an easy colour to coordinate. The effect in juxtaposition to a pure white wedding dress can be most striking and black goes just as well with other traditional hues including ivory, peach and pink. A handy way of using the theme with your colours is to add a flower or coloured sash to match your dress.

A useful benefit of opting for black is its slimming and neutralizing effect that it has on the eye. This can be particularly useful if your bridesmaids all vary in size and figure. Black will help to create a uniform look that your bridesmaids will appreciate.

One of the major advantages choosing black is to save money. By opting for such a simple colour you will have the option of buying formal wear from regular clothing retailers and avoiding the all too common ‘wedding tax’!

Your bridesmaids will also be able to make use of the dress afterwards and this makes a great bridesmaids gift idea. They’ll probably also have a pair of black shoes already which will be suitable for the day. Or, if they are buying new, it’s less of a burden then having to buy a specific colour which might not be available in a style they like?

Great Effect
So overall, you can use the colour black to great effect, save some money and be a little bit radical, all in one!
