Seriously? Black Wedding Dresses?

If there's one thing weddings are known for, it's the dazzling presence of white or ivory wedding gowns exuding purity and innocence. However, in recent years, a new trend has emerged, one that embraces the allure of the unconventional: the black wedding dress. While this nontraditional choice might seem surprising to some — including Anne — delving into the origins of the black wedding dress reveals an interesting history attached to the color.

Had V Magazine not featured four dresses out of nine in the color black, Lulu would not have been summoned. Simply stated, I could not resist unearthing a short history of black wedding dresses.
