Can the bride wear a black wedding dress?
In the realm of weddings, traditions have long dictated the attire of the bride, with white being the preferred colour. However, as times evolve, so does the concept of what a wedding should be. Today, couples are increasingly embracing their individuality and making choices to suit their diverse personalities.
For a bride, choosing black is not merely a departure from tradition; it is a declaration of her unique persona and a celebration of her individuality. It is about creating a wedding style that is unique and a little quirky.
Mackenzie selected a sophisticated black wedding dress in shimmery fabrics, with a cinched waist and a full skirt. She literally sparkled down the aisle. Groom, Damon, also opted for an all-black ensemble, with a black suit with a shiny lapel, a black shirt, and a black tie. Their mutual appreciation for musical theatre was reflected in their striking and dramatic appearance.
Mackenzie incorporated a traditional element with a pearl necklace and pearl drop earrings and carried a bouquet created from Baby's Breath flowers. Similarly, Damon's boutonniere was Baby's Breath. The wedding party attire featured seasonal burnt orange hues, while the guys also wore black on black.
The couple celebrated with an intimate, genuine, and relaxed ceremony at the Brisbane Botanic Gardens, Mount Coot-tha, followed by a reception lunch at Tocano's in Brisbane.
Mackenzie and Damon wrote, “Thank you so much for everything you have done. It was an amazing day for us and having you as our celebrant was so seamless and easy. You have been amazing to work with.”
