Shopping FAQs
Considering black bridesmaid dresses for your wedding? Here are some commonly asked questions when shopping for them.
- Are black bridesmaid dresses appropriate? Yes, and they’re often seen as a classy, elegant color choice. A nice way to have the dresses stand out is to have each bridesmaid wear the same color but a different style of dress. A big benefit of the shade: Your girlfriends can wear their gowns again and again.
- What color flowers go best with black bridesmaid dresses? This really depends on your wedding theme as well as the time of year which will determine what flowers are in season. With that said, white flowers contrast nicely, or if you’re looking for a darker mood, go for red wine shades along with darker greenery.
- What color shoes go best with black bridesmaid dresses? Pretty much any color pairs well with black—including metallic or prints.
