Dark Alternatives To The White Wedding Dress
For that sophisticated look a sleek black wedding dress can be ideal. And, unlike many traditional white dresses, the black wedding gown can be adapted to be worn on other occasions.
So how will the concept of a black wedding gown go down with family and friends? Is there still a prejudice towards anything other than the expected white or ivory, or will the black wedding dress represent an alluring and decadent option for the bride who wants to take her vows in elegant ebony? And is it perhaps time to change the old adage, “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue,” to read “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something black.”
The white wedding gown isn’t the first choice for every bride, many women these days opt to marry in different coloured dresses. Yes, even black, but there still seems to be a school of thought that suggests it’s not everyone’s idea of the perfect dress. But if you’re a bride to be and a dress as dark as midnight is your choice, you’ll want to know where to shop for the perfect mysterious black bridal gown.
New York City Bridal Boutiques are quite used to a wide range of requests when it comes to wedding dresses so if you ask for a wedding dress in black you won’t be thought odd, in fact there are Bridal Boutiques in New York City that carry ranges with black dresses as part of their options.
And it may surprise those who oppose the idea of anything but white for a bride to learn that up until as late as the 1930s some cultures only considered black as the colour choice for wedding dresses. But this was to do with practicality. A black dress would be more serviceable and could be used again, and kept as a best dress after the wedding.
So black is actually just as traditional in terms of its place in history, as white when it comes to the colour of a wedding dress. That little snippet of information might come in handy when the alternative or even gothic bride wants to persuade a mom or aunt with fixed views of the merits of a gorgeous seductive black gown.
Although she wasn’t the first bride to wear white, Queen Victoria’s wedding to her beloved Prince Albert in 1840 had a huge impact on the collective consciousness. And since then the popularity of white wedding gowns continued to grow, especially in higher society. But if you really can’t turn your back on black, rest assured that the New York City Bridal Boutiques will be able to provide you with something truly beautiful that reflects the sophisticated side of your personality.

Help! where can I find reception dress in New york city?
I am in NYC (close to 5th avenue since I plan to be shopping tomorrow) until Sunday, and tomorrow I am going shopping to find a reception dress for my wedding. I do NOT need a big gown, I already have that. I want a shorter, tea length type dress (but still on the modest side) that I can change into for fun and flirty swing dancing since we’ll have a big band. Something that looks like a “swing dancing dress” (looser skirt on it that can swing around etc) would be great, and I need it in white. I hope to find something tomorrow, but so far the few places I’ve found through google didn’t have much that fit my requirements. Where would be a good place to try, and where is it located? Are there smaller wedding boutique stores around here that have more than just the big gowns? Thanks for your help!
I bought 2 dresses for my wedding too! A traditional white gown and another party dress for the reception. I bought the 2nd dress at Barney’s, they have fun dresses but a bit pricey. They made the dress for me with a swatch I picked out, it wasn’t the most pleasurable experience but in the end it was a knockout dress.
Other places were Saks 5th avenue
Vera Wang Bridesmaid dresses
