A black wedding dress… seriously? Yes, why not?
I had so much fun making this custom black wedding dress for the lovely Laura. And this, for many reasons.
At first glance one could say that Laura’s universe and mine are complete opposites. And yet we found a way to bring them together in this creation that enhances her unique personality so beautifully.
She wanted a black dress, and I will always admire anyone who refuses to be influenced by fashion’s expectations, by their entourage, or by the idea of what a “real” wedding dress is supposed to look like.
Though I did get a few surprised looks when I mentioned I was making a black wedding dress…
But honestly, it made perfect sense.
Did you know that white hasn’t always been the go-to bridal choice?
For centuries, many women married in black or in dark colour simply because it made sense to rewear the dress.
White, rarely chosen, was hard to maintain and far less practical.
It was only in 1840, when Queen Victoria married Prince Albert in a white satin gown, that white was reintroduced as a fashionable bridal colour.
But even then, the trend took time to catch on especially outside aristocratic circles.
Most European women kept wearing coloured dresses until the early 20th century, when white gradually became “tradition.”
So really… wearing colour isn’t new.
It’s just bold. And beautiful.
So tell me, would you ever consider getting married in black?
Or in colour?
