It your day, you can wear whatever you want for your wedding be it a Star Wars Korte Trouwjurk Princess Leia costume or a black gown.
Keep in mind that people will have an opinion on it either way, whether they love or hate it. The majority of people do not like it when people stray from tradition especially for weddings. Sometimes lines and details get lost. it has only been in the past 150-175 years that this tradition has been popular. prior to that, all colors of wedding dresses have been worn, including black.
in some cultures, white is worn only for funerals, even in our modern times. and they would not wear a wedding gown, so this is a decision that is totally up to you.
a word of caution however. do remember that this wedding is also for your fiance. ask him how he feels about you wearing a black dress. many men have a dream vision of what their wedding is to be like just as girls do so you don want to go too far off the grid. if he simply cannot imagine his bride in a black wedding gown, then try for another color.
you might also want to run it by your family or who ever if going to be paying for this wedding. you don want to be too shocking because after all, your wedding may not be the most appropriate place to fully express your desires to be "different" if it is going to create problems or leave people with a bad taste in their mouths. the idea of a great wedding is to leave people with a favorable impression of you and your fiance as a couple and each of you as individuals whom they are happy to know and associate with or be related to.
Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex in the City did, and she was on TV in an interview Lange Cocktailjurken saying that she wished she had not.
Black is a funeral color in American culture. It was tradition not to wear black to a wedding, it was bad luck, referred to as black clouds at the wedding. The older set would point and cringe, and depending on their culture, make signs to ward off the evil. In some cultures, widows weeds Feest Jurken were OK to wear to a wedding, but likely the widow would not have attended, anyway.
In today world, being original, dumping all the traditions and making your own is the stylish thing to do. So have at. The guests wear black, the bride wears black.
The only thing that I would caution about doing that is, what are you going to think about it when you get your wedding pictures out to show your kids and Grandkids. Will you still be OK with the black dress?
During the 1960 many brides got married barefooted, in a long dresses that were simple and plain. Many regret those barefoot pictures now.
SJP (sarah jessica parker) wore a black dress for the same reasons and she regretted it. i just think in the future looking back at it with your kids a nd grandkids, it me be something someone regrets. i understand not going traditional all pure bright white. but i would compromise. maybe wear a dress with some black detailing or a black sash. or wear a traditional one for the ceremony and the black one for the reception. i just got married 2 1/2 years ago and now its a new trend to wear a traditional dress for the ceremony and go all out for the reception. youll have photos in both
Wow! good for you, I think that is a beautiful idea. I think it is important to remember that this is your day and you will remember it for the rest of your life. You should choose whatever you want because you ultimately the one who is investing in it. I saw some beautiful pictures of black wedding dresses and they are so classic and individual. Wedding traditions are so over rated. Most people don even know the meaning and why they mindlessly stress to follow them like a herd of sheep. Put your personal touch and make your wedding your own. I know what ever you choose, You will be ultimately a beautiful bride. There is this glow that fills us when family and friends are all there to support and celebrate your love for each other.
