Trending: Black & White Bridesmaids Dresses

There really are no rules when it comes to bridesmaids’ dresses – the bride can choose what route to go down based on the location, the season and her own personal preferences when it comes to style, colour and design. These days more and more weddings are steering away from tradition also, with brides now opting to wear colours other than white and weddings being more micro. One of the trends we are loving to see is bridesmaids wearing black and white for the big day – a look that we think is classic and elegant.

It could be a little black dress or a little white dress or more of a black full-length gown or a white midi number. Maybe the bride wants to match her bridesmaids in ivory tones or maybe the bride wants a stark contrast and have the bridesmaids in a perfect black number. Either way we have your black and white wedding covered with our favourite picks and how to style them below.

Can bridesmaids wear white?

Yes, white bridesmaids dresses have gained popularity with brides choosing white over colour to fit a clean coherent aesthetic. White bridesmaids dresses are timeless and make the bridal party look effortlessly elegant. There has been a shift from traditional wedding's to more self expression from the bride and groom, with an emphasis on the overall visual aesthetic were the couples taste and personalities can shine through.

Black Mix & Match 

We adore noir when it comes to dresses. The little black dress is a revolution and everyone must have one – even the bridesmaids. Black bridesmaids dresses are sleek and look coherent with the groomsmen's suits. A black dress will suit all shapes and sizes and you can even mix and match black dresses by having each bridesmaid wear a different black style and have a unifying accessory – such as a pair of earrings or a bouquet of white tulips.

 

Black and White Duo

If you are choosing to dress your bridesmaids in white alongside yourself it is a great idea to choose dresses that have a different neckline, a subtle pattern or a unique embellishment so that their looks aren’t too similar to yours. You will achieve a bit of a contrast but the all-white bridal party look will still be classic and elegant nonetheless. Each bridesmaid can wear ivory in a different style for a unique mix and match look. One could wear a duotone dress and another could wear a black dress with white accessories.
