Black Wedding Dresses
Untraditional but Gorgeous!

Believe it or not, black wedding dresses are really popular.

Back in 1997, Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker got married to husband Matthew Broderick in black and set a new trend.

Sarah wanted to marry "invisibly" and her way of doing it was to wear a black dress.

But there are plenty of other good reasons to wear noir on your big day.

• PRICE
  It's stating the obvious but a black wedding gown can be FAR cheaper. You don't need to visit a bridal store as you can hunt for the dress of your dreams in prom dress stores or even buy a little black dress from your local discount fashion store without a mention of the "W" word.

• Show your PERSONALITY
  Wearing a black dress on your wedding day will cause huge controversy but it's sure to put your individual stamp on what would otherwise be yet another traditional, unsurprising day.

• ENJOY the PLANNING
  Why feel miserable because you feel intimidated by having to conform to tradition? Have fun planning your big day, get advice from friends and relatives but be sure to do what YOU want.

• COLOR is Cool
  Some women just do not suit white or ivory. While pink, blue or red wedding dresses are other alternative choices, why not consider a dark shade too , especially if you love wearing the color!
