Not traditionally associated with weddings, the color black continues to grow in popularity as a Big Day hue. Thought of as a classic, chic color, black can add elegance and style to the ceremony and reception. While the color is typically associated with winter and cooler months, if done appropriately and in the correct setting, black can be incorporated and used during any season. A fabulous way to incorporate the color is in your bridal party. Black is a slimming color, typically looks good on everyone and acts as a compliment to your chosen color theme.
Many designers include black bridesmaids dresses in their collections. However, there is a fine line between elegant and sophisticated and having the color look muted and matronly. One designer who maximizes lace, tulle and organza to bring women stunning designs is Lazaro. His Noir by Lazaro line includes various silhouettes that elongate the frame, while highlighting the wearer’s assets and hiding imperfections.
An added bonus with a long, beautiful, black gown is the ability to wear the outfit again at a Mardi Gras ball or event.
Noir can be found locally at The Bridal Boutique by MaeMe in Metairie.
