That fact of the matter is that some brides just don't feel "right" wearing a traditional white dress. For many brides a white wedding dress exudes qualities like chastity and modesty---qualities they don't possess or want to be associated with. If your wardrobe normally consists of gothic attire, including lots of black and dark colors, a black wedding dress may reflect you best.

On the Other: You May Regret It

A bride who wears a black dress is committing an act so eccentric that it may cause quite a stir. Consider how you will feel five to 10 years from now when looking back at wedding pictures. Will you regret your decision to wear a black gown? Envision how your family and friends will view you in your black dress. Is it worth shocking your 90-year-old grandmother to be different?

Bottom Line

Contemplate whether you're taking this fashion risk to reflect your own personal style or for the pure shock value. If you're dead set against wearing white on your wedding day, a simple compromise could be to wear an ivory, gold, pink or purple gown instead. You may decide that a black dress is right for you; but think it over carefully.
