20 Gorgeous Black Bridesmaid Dresses
When we construct our wardrobe—all four seasons of the year—it’s a pretty safe bet that we shop for each and every item in black before we alsobuy it in another color or print. But, for some reason, when we plan out the looks for a bridal party, black is rarely a tone chosen. The trend is on the rise, though, and we’re not quite sure why more bridal parties don’t invest in the deeply elegant neutral tone. A black-and-white wedding party? Sign us up.
Whether you’re a lover of ethereal ruffles, bohemian off-the-shoulder looks, or more sleek shape-hugging slip dresses, it’s high time you considered dressing all your bridesmaids in black. And, what’s more, there’s no fear of a navy looking a little too cornflower blue or a maroon looking more like pink than you originally intended. Black will always look fantastic—no room for negotiation.
This season, as we plan out our bridal party looks, we’re shopping black gowns for all. In satin, chiffon, velvet, and more, here are our favorite black bridesmaid dresses to shop now.
The bridesmaid dress you will actually wear again.
