Question Hi there. I am engaged to be married, and I was looking around on-line for wedding dresses. I found one that I think is absolutely beautiful, but it is not your traditional white dress. It is actually black and white. My question is it okay to deviate from tradition? And do you think that wearing black is bad luck? I REALLY like the dress, and my husband to be thinks it is beautiful too. Neither of us is especially traditional or conservative, and we want our wedding to be unique. But I have gotten a lot of negative feedback from family and friends, about wearing a black dress(or not wearing a white dress period). What do you think? Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Lisa
Answer Hi Lisa:
It is your wedding and you should wear what makes you feel special. However, that being said, there have been brides that have dared to break tradition by wearing black or some other color and ended up regretting it. Sarah Jessica Parker is one who comes to mind. She is such a fashion maven and wanted to break out from the norm on her wedding day by wearing a black dress. A decision that she regrets to this day. So my advice to you is to be VERY sure this is the dress you want. If it is one that you can take or leave, then I say leave it but if after trying on other dresses and searching high and low you find yourself still coming back to this one, then go for it.
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
