Robert E Strong whose collections have been featured in publications like Style Weddings Magazine, Bride and Bloom Magazine, La Bella Bride Magazine, Ritz Carlton Magazine, Get Married Magazine, Western Mass Women’s Magazine, and Brides Magazine has presented black wedding dresses as one of his featured trend in his new fall 2010 line. His new collection was displayed at New York Bridal Market and has created a buzz. With this new rave in the industry, I am sure black wedding dresses will become more available in stores and also a more popular choice for brides.
Black dresses are not only for the gothic couples but for all who are willing to try and dares to be different. One tip to have a dramatic yet elegant look when dressed in a black gown is to go light on your make up. Avoid dark eye shadows and siren red lips. Try fresh pink neutral eye do with a light lip gloss. Choose your gown with laces, rhinestones and ribbons that can add a feminine touch. Complete your look with elegant accessories like white pearls and tiara.
If you are still unsure, try a white gown with black details instead of a full black dress. Accessorizing with black can be another alternative. Try black pearls, black gloves or black veil.
Most importantly, the choice is yours. After all it is your big day. Confidence and a big white smile is all you need to look stunning while your groom waits for you at the wedding alter.
