How to Style a Black Wedding Dress for an October Wedding

Here at J Andrew’s Bridal, we’ve noticed a growing trend in the bridal fashion world that we just can’t get enough of - breathtaking black wedding dresses!

Whether you’re planning an elegant wedding celebration or a moody vintage event, we’re here to help you style your black wedding dress to perfection.

 

Choosing the Right Silhouette and Fabric

Black wedding dresses come in an array of silhouettes and fabrics, giving you endless possibilities for your bridal look! Here are some options to look for:

 

Ball Gowns
For a dramatic and regal vibe, opt for a black ball gown. Imagine layers of black tulle, perhaps with lace or shimmering beaded details, perfect for an enchanting October evening.

 

 

A-Line Dresses
A black A-line gown strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, offering versatility that pairs beautifully with any October wedding theme.

 

 

Sheath Silhouettes
For a minimalist yet striking look, a black sheath gown in crepe or silk is a chic choice, ideal for modern brides.

 

 

Accessorizing Your Black Wedding Dress

Accessories are key to completing your bridal look, and the possibilities are truly endless! Veils or capes are a great way to elevate your look, and if you’re having an October wedding, embellishments like celestial inspired embroidery or lace edging can add a seasonal twist.

 

 

For jewelry, either silver, gold, or jewel toned pieces like emerald and ruby pop beautifully against black fabric. It’s truly up to you depending on your personal preferences! Consider statement pieces for extra flair or keep it more delicate for understated elegance.

 

Your footwear choices can reflect your wedding’s vibe and add personality to your look that also reflects the season. Sleek black heels, velvet boots, or even glittery stilettos make a fabulous pairing with a black bridal gown.

 

Styling for the Season

October weddings offer a unique opportunity to embrace the rich colors and cozy atmosphere of autumn! Get inspired by the season with two important aspects of your wedding look - flowers and outerwear.

 

Bouquets
A bouquet featuring deep reds, burnt oranges, and dark greenery pairs beautifully with a black gown. Add pops of texture with pampas grass or berries for a seasonal touch.

 

Outerwear
If your wedding is outdoors, consider a faux fur stole, chic leather jacket, or tailored cape to stay warm while looking fabulous.
