Emma's answers to Black bridesmaid's dresses?

Question

I am thinking of black bridesmaids dresses or hunter green. What is the trend this year?

Answer

I think that black bridesmaid dresses could be a really striking look, and it is very fashion forward as far as bridal trends go! Black gowns are more popular in America, and practically, they can be used after the big day. There is however a feeling that bridesmaids in black can be bad luck as it is generally thought of as a funereal colour so you may want to avoid black if you are at all superstitious. Hunter green was quite fashionable a couple of years ago for autumnal weddings, it suits most skin tones and is figure flattering. If you want to be super stylish then go for a black 1950's look dress with ivory or coloured accessories to offset the black.
