The shade of your bridal dress is a major source of superstitions and traditions . Today, Western wedding gowns are usually white, but it’s no longer the only option for the shade of your bridal dress. The tradition of the white wedding gown goes back to the eight hundreds and represents virginity and purity. This colour has become fashionable when Queen Victoria wore it at her wedding to signify her status. After that, many brides opted for this colour in honour of the Queen’s choice. But at that time in the United Kingdoms, women married in any colour except black (the colour of mourning) or red (the colour of the prostitutes).
In fact, before the white wedding dress became standardized an old poem sang the praises or woes of various color choices.
Married in White, you have chosen right,
Married in Blue, your love will always be true,
Married in Pearl, you will live in a whirl,
Married in Brown, you will live in town,
Married in Red, you will wish yourself dead,
Married in Yellow, ashamed of your fellow,
Married in Green, ashamed to be seen,
Married in Pink, your spirit will sink,
Married in Grey, you will go far away,
Married in Black, you will wish yourself back.
Embrace the customs of your ancestry or religion by choosing the shade of your bridal dress from the traditions of your origins!

In everybody’s mind, black is forbidden for a wedding. For many reasons, black is associated with death, sadness or evil. Anyway, others are gritty or scandalous when they plan their wedding. Some brides are in the mood of black wedding dresses. Personnaly, I’ve never organised a wedding on the French Riviera like this but I admit that some black wedding dresses are dashing !
Regarding black wedding cakes, my opinion is in favor of black wedding cakes. Sometimes brides are besotted with white. Some of my clients want to put white everywhere for their weddings on the French Riviera. Black wedding cakes often look better than traditionnal white wedding cake. More over, most of the guests love chocolate !
To conclude, I would say that black can be used for a wedding if you manage to mix it with another color such as white, pink or purple. What about you, would you dare black wedding dresses ?
