    Lol I love black and if I could get away with it, I'd love to wear a black wedding dress but a lot of people including my h2b doesn't want me to so I'll choose an ivory colour with either black beads or black corsage or flowers. Anybody else doing a non traditional colour or having black on their wedding dress?

    I love black! If you could see my bedroom and kitchen you would understand, not to mention 90% of my clothes lol!

    My aunt had a stunning wedding dress with black detail. I personally wouldn't wear a black wedding dress as I wear black all the time so it wouldn't be special if you know what I mean?xx

    Hi, I am having a black Lacey dress as my wedding dress :-) (there is a picture of it in my photos but it doesn't do it justice, it's gorgeous). I am having purple accessories to go with it, including a purple and black garter with a skull and crossbones on it lol ;-)

    Hails - I saw that wedding dress online too! Absolutely stunning! But because I'm small, I didn't think the skirt would suit me that way, I have to choose a fishtail type so I've chosen some designs it's on my album then I'll ask bridal shop to put a black corsage and black beads on it :)

    Katkin - sounds like my type of dress :) is it the first one on your album cos I like that one :)

    Love the idea of a black veil and tiara... I can't wait for when I start trying them on!!

    Bee and Boo.. Similar name similar theme lol :) love the vintage effect of cream/ivory and black. Was thinking of having that as my theme too but decided on pale pink and black instead so that the contrast is really masculine and really feminine. Love it!

    Hi missidders2b, my actual dress is the one in the 4th album that says 'my dress'. I really loved the 1st one too but then found the other one :-) The picture doesn't do it justice - I'll have to get a photo of me wearing it and put the photo up.

    we are having an ivory, black and red theme that has been met with some scepticism but its all of our days so we can do what we want I say. Good luck with the colour choice. It will look very elegant

    I am quite tempted by black bridemaids dresses tbh as i am not keen on orange as a colour as a rule and am being very fussy about what shade of orange, so might be easier for me to get dresses on black and stick with the orange flowers etc....

    My theme is black, cream and cadbury purple. Although i wont be wearing a black dress, my bridesmaids will be in black which they loved as they are more likely to wear the dresses again. Plus black is very flattering and finding the right dress in the right shade of purple to fit each bm seemed like a lot of bother.

    Im having purple and cream flowers. The table decorations are fishbowls/martini glasses filled with lighted purple jelly balls and a flower decoration and draped with black beads. The table planner will be a purple patterned board with black old fashioned victorian style photo frames stuck on outlining the individual tables.

    Eileen they're lovely aren't they? Can't believe I never knew them before until I started looking for flowers for my wedding. I just hope if I ended up getting married instead in March that they're still in season as they're in season in June (my original wedding date month) =)

    Jill, apparently it's in season in june so hopefully won't be too expensive but I must admit I haven't looked into how much they are yet. Will probably have a mixed bouquet if it's too expensive xx

    Thanks holly, I've already chosen my wedding dress. Only if it doesn't look right when I try it on that I might change it but yes, having it in ivory then will ask for black beads and corsage x
