The Not So LBD
Last season, the black gown made quite a few appearances on bridal fashion runways. While the new collections we’ve seen seem to be focused on the more classic whites and ivorys, we have to admit that the boldness of the black gown was hot!
The black gowns created by bridal designers such as Vera Wang, Ines Di Santo, and Romona Keveza give the alternative bride the best of both worlds—classic designs and silhouettes but a color that is undeniably unique. So edgy, especially for the fall and winter bride.
If you opt for a not so little black dress for your Eco-Beautiful wedding day, we’d love to see!
