Out of all the wedding dress trends for the year 2012, black wedding gowns definitely made the biggest impression on us here at the wedding blog. Designers Vera Wang and Romona Keveza showcased raven-hued ball gowns, cocktail dresses and evening wear (which could double as second-dress options) at last year’s bridal market, leaving editors and buyers pleasantly surprised. The contrast offers a refreshing alternative from the classic stark white or off-white wedding dress for the fashion-conscious or off-breat bride. But we want to know, would you don an all black dress for your wedding? To see more black wedding dresses, visit our gown gallery at PerfectWeddingGuide.com.
