The Bride Wore Black

There are some major changes going on in the bridal world — starting with the bridal tennis shoes we mentioned to you a few weeks ago to the newest color now gracing the wedding runways....black. Bridal Fashion Week doesn't get nearly the same amount of attention as Fashion Week, but the normal sea of white tulle is all a flutter about the melancholy twist on the typical gown.

The name creating all the buzz is the one that's become synonymous with fairytale wedding gowns: Vera Wang. And, when Vera does something, you might as well start a countdown for when the other brands follow suit. Vera Wang's most recent collection, which showed a few days ago, featured SEVEN black gowns in total. The witchcraft–themed show included a wonderful combination of glamour and macabre, and the looks were paired with a very natural face and mussed-up hair.

Black gowns probably wont get a ton of momentum off the runway, but it's definitely a fun twist on big day duds!
