I'm torn between black and champagne for bridesmaids dresses.
I prefer black because:
- It'll be cheaper to buy dresses off the rack (mismatched bridesmaids dresses) than pre-order bridesmaids dresses (they could even wear a black cocktail dress they already own); cost is a concern for me because many of my bridesmaids will already be travelling to come to the wedding
- It'll be easier for them
- They'll wear it again
However, I think that champagne may end up looking nicer in pictures. Our photographer told us that black and white ceremony pictures are generally nicer because you avoid all the clashing colours of guest clothes, which makes sense to us, so we're trying to imagine what the pictures will look like with black dresses. This wouldn't be an issue if we were getting married in the daytime, but our wedding is in the evening and it will be quite dark. I worry that there won't be enough contrast between the girls and the ambient light. I don't want the girls to look like blobs of black (except for their faces, arms, and legs of course).
What do you girls think? Would champagne look much nicer in pictures?
