Fashion focus – bridesmaids en noir.

Photo: Tess Follett
Versatile, classic, timeless and universally flattering – wedding parties wearing black is always en point.
With the option of injecting colour through accompanying florals, pops of colour in lipstick, or metallic accessories, black is far from the sombre and once shunned choice for wedding party attire.
Black dresses, jumpsuits, skirts or suits are chic, practical (nightmare food or bev spillages be gone!) and a popular choice in wedding fashion that we don’t see fading any time soon.
Take a peek at some of our favourite takes on the look, with inspiration for your own big day.
