    I really don't think there are Pros the cons as to what color bridesmaids dresses should be. I was once asked where black as a bridesmaid and I didn't think anything of it. If you feel that it goes well with your colors game that I suggest you go for it. I think black is a very simple yet elegant look.

    I also don't think there's pros or cons. It's whatever you like. Black is classic.

    I don’t think there are pros or cons. I think black is classic and may be able to be worn again. Lots of colors you can use with it for sure.

    I think if groomsmen are wearing classic black tuxes then there is nothing wrong with putting bridesmaids in black. Its classic and classy!

    Bonus, if your bridesmaids dresses aren't overly "bridesmaid-y" your girls will have no trouble finding an occasion where they can rewear them and everyone loves that!

    I was a bridesmaid in a black dress and absolutely loved the bride for it. It's something we can wear again! I also want black bridesmaid dresses. Simple, classic, goes with any other colors, and your friends will love you. I'm also not sure I could pick another color if I had to!

    My bridesmaids are wearing black! 😊 I guess some pros would be that it looks classy/elegant, they can most likely wear the dress again, and honestly black is a color that flatters everyone.

    A girl I know just did black dresses with a classic tux and it looked so romantic! Faves scratched out as it’s not my picture or wedding to share.

    Pro: very classy!
    Con: perhaps too dark for a summer brunch wedding?

    I think for the winter months, black is a no-brainer for sure! It's so classic, understated & elegant. Even for the early spring months, black with soft pastels can be so pretty.

    I think black or navy dresses always look classic. If your wedding is more semi-formal or in a place like a daytime garden wedding they might look out of place, otherwise go for it!

    I think if you allow your bridesmaids to choose their own dresses than black is a great choice for color because who doesn’t already have a plain black dress in their closet usually ya know?

    I’m doing black bridesmaid dresses and the only “backlash” i’ve gotten about it was my grandmother saying that black is for a funeral. black is classic and goes well with every color!
