Can We Use Black Flower Girl Dresses for our Wedding?

It used to be a no-no for weddings because it is considered a color of mourning. These days, more and more brides are deciding to use black. They can also decide to have their entourage (flower girls too,) to wear black dresses.

Black dresses and black gowns, especially when used for night time formal events, are chic, slimming and very glamorous. Black dresses are also perceived versatile and timeless. Thus, women feel prettiest in their “little black dress”. Also, it cannot be denied that men love their women in black as well.

It is no wonder that brides are choosing black to wear on the evening they want to be prettiest.

The bride may decide that the bridesmaid and flower girls wear black dresses. It is not out of the ordinary to see a wedding party in black. In western formal events, most people wear black anyway. Thus, there is the black tie event, or the black and white formal.






Not sure if you want your little girl to wear black?

If the whole entourage is wearing black, why not try a formal black dress for your child and spruce the dress up with ivory or jewel-toned sash, flowers, etc. You may also get a two-toned formal dress. A flower girl dress with a black piece, (such as a skirt), and another colored piece (such as a white top) may work. A third alternative is you may get a different colored dress, then put in a black sash or wear with a dainty black jacket. This way, your little girl will still be coordinated with the entourage. However, if you are doing this, inform the bride beforehand of your plan so you can both meet halfway. Whatever the style, your little girl will surely look pretty in her black flower girl dress.
