Happy Halloween!
Have you been carving pumpkins, making elaborate costumes and eating too many sweets?
I thought it'd be fun to get into the spooky spirit on Bridal Musings with a look at Vera Wang's bold and beautiful Fall bridal collection 2012 ‘Witchcraft‘ which was unveiled at NYC Bridal Market recently.
The gowns had all the elements of Vera Wang's signature bridal style ~ feminine and romantic, figure hugging with clouds of frothy, draped tulle but there was one big difference…not a white dress in sight!
Models sashayed down the catwalk in a lingerie inspired colour palette of dirty blush, slate grey and gothic, jet black gowns. Now wedding industry folk, brides and fashionistas everywhere are asking would you wear a black wedding dress?

I LOVE the thought of a bride in black. It's daring, it's different and imagine that gasp worthy moment, when everyone turns to see you walking down the aisle in all your dramatic, black, non traditional glory?!
But personally, I wouldn't wear a black wedding dress as I'm quite a traditional girl at heart. Black feels a bit too sultry, sexy and sombre for a wedding. I would wear one of Vera Wangs‘ bewitching black dresses to a fancy ball, a trip to the opera or even a glamourous engagement shoot, like the one above.
So, the question is…would you wear a black wedding dress?
