Just as a traditional white wedding dress is commonly meant to symbolize innocence, youth, and purity, a black wedding dress can bring an element of power, mystery, and individuality to the bride who wears it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider also the unique context of a black gown. Historically, in Spanish, Scottish, and Finnish cultures, black wedding dresses actually were the traditional choice\u2026 It took until around 1840 for white wedding dresses to become popularized in Western culture thanks to Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For many brides, wearing a black wedding dress is a fun, sexy way to break current traditions. The style may also just fit a bride&#8217;s personal aesthetic or wedding theme better than a white dress does\u2026 It all depends on your season, venue, vision, and overall vibe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, there are stylish and practical reasons to wear black! Black wedding dresses are iconic for their slimming, sophisticated, and sensual effects on the silhouette. Many brides gravitate towards their unique beauty and elegant aesthetics for a one-of-a-kind silhouette.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-are-black-wedding-dresses-in-style\"><strong>Are Black Wedding Dresses in Style?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/sottero-and-midgley\/zander\/11869\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"875\" data-id=\"57368\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-1-700x875.png\" alt=\"Bride wearing Zander black wedding dress by Sottero and Midgley with her husband\" class=\"wp-image-57368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-1-700x875.png 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-1-250x313.png 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-1-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-1-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.maggiesottero.com\/sottero-and-midgley\/zander\/11869\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"875\" data-id=\"57369\" src=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-5-700x875.png\" alt=\"Bride wearing Zander black wedding dress by Sottero and Midgley with her husband\" class=\"wp-image-57369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-5-700x875.png 700w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-5-250x313.png 250w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-5-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-5-120x150.png 120w, https:\/\/maggieblogassets.sfo2.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Black-Dresses_IGFB-Images-5.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">PC: Michelle White<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black wedding dresses are totally trending among bold brides!
