SOOOOO tired of her. I feel like she’s Ms. Professional Wedding Model, because I’ve seen her in EVERYTHING lately." Ooooh. I hardly recognized her without the dom heels and the whip in her hand. “Also, that woman on the lower right, with the aqua background? SOOOOO tired of her.

Black is NOT a panacea. There are two types of blacks - red-based (warm) and blue-based (cool). If you pick the wrong one for your skin type, you will look washed out. If you can figure out which black goes best with your skin, chances are, you will be able to find another non-dark colour that goes with it too so why settle for black? As always, I believe a woman needs to dress for her body; we spend so much time coordinating our accessories to our outfits so why not our skin tone?

You totally hit the weirdness mark. Hats off (or on, at the next wedding I attend) to you! You totally hit the weirdness mark.

I had a friend of the family do a black and white wedding. It was STUNNING. (The favors were a little less attractive, though -- black and white decorated Christmas balls -- black isn't festive enough to go on the tree, I think.) I think it would lend a lot of class. 2. My cousin actually wore her bridesmaid's dress to her prom -- which was 6 months before my wedding! Granted, she looked amazing. But you are right about a lot of prom dresses being ... inappropriate for a wedding. Also, that woman on the lower right, with the aqua background? SOOOOO tired of her.

When I first saw it, I thought "What on earth would one do with a decorated cat litter scooper at a wedding?" Love black (dresses, decorations, etc.), the cake and the invitation but the wristlet? Oh my. I can’t get past the wristlet.

Whoops! Oh well, it's available in black, anyway ;-) And great pic, Ulrika!

However, I donät think duest should wear completely black dresses. Some of our foreign guests did ayway, and I did not get upset - they where all very classy ladies. Eventually, we decided to have a black/white/creme-colour theme, and it was very stylish! My bridesmaids were modern and classic wearing black and white dresses. http://bp0.blogger.com/_WyNnHpLXYoA/Rt2zOpq3twI/AAAAAAAAAcI/WHjHijn3rFw/s1600-h/_MG_0939+copy.jpg (Photo by pwfoto.com) I’m one of those who always wear black clothes, I just think it looks stylish adn it’s very easy to accoessorize :) Before I got married, I was even thinking not wearing a crisp white wedding gown!

It's actually an awesome color, though. Ummm…I’m pretty sure the upper right dress is very dark green (I have a very bright, true color monitor). It’s actually an awesome color, though.

Strapless, cocktail length. I'm getting married in late December and the church will be all decked out in Christmas finery and I didn't want to try to have to match red or green. I think it's going to look really classy. I also wanted my bridesmaids to be able to pick their own dresses. They're not rich and I want them to have something that they'll be able to wear again.
