Brides are pumped to wear black wedding dresses
CNN
Weddings typically aren't the occasion to throw convention to the wind, but some brides are doing just that with at least one centerpiece of their nuptials — the white wedding dress.
Among wedding trends heating up, sellers have noted a surge in interest in black bridal gowns. According to Google Trends, searches for "black wedding dress" have kept pace with searches for "white wedding dress" over the past 12 months. In Sept and Oct 2021, "black wedding dress" was searched more than "white wedding dress" on Google.
"This is by far our favorite trend and we are loving it. Black gowns are chic and dramatic," said Laura McKeever, senior manager of brand PR, philanthropy and communications with David's Bridal, one of largest sellers of wedding gowns in the United States.
