Black is the new black.
We're going to level with you: Black is the new black. No matter how many trendy colors come and go nothing will ever look as elegant or timeless as a black evening gown—which is why black bridesmaids' dresses are an option that will never fail you!
Some people may be scared to put their bridesmaids in black dresses—whether they fear it's too dark, solemn, or formal—but let us tell you, it's a super stylish option for all seasons. You can make a black bridesmaid's dress more playful by covering it in sequins or opting for a gown fashioned in whimsical tulle. If you're feeling a more fashion-forward vibe, there are the incredibly sleek options of body-hugging sheaths, asymmetrical hemlines, and deep V-necks, too.
If you're throwing a black-tie bash and want something classic, there's nothing wrong with a strapless black A-line gown, either, while gathered halters, strategically placed peekaboo cutouts, and touch of illusion make an onyx number more modern.
The biggest benefit to black is that it's universally the same shade, so if you want to let your girls pick out their own dresses, there's no risk of mismatched tones—your 'maids will instantly look pulled together. Even better: choosing a black bridesmaid's dress guarantees your girls can wear their gown again. After all, who doesn't need a handy LBD time and time again?
If you love the idea of sending your girls down the aisle in black bridesmaids' dresses, look no further! Click through to see some of the gorgeous and stylish options we've found just for you.
