There’s something about the colour black – so easy, simple and flattering – that makes a lot of us turn to it when we’re in need of an outfit that we’ll feel both comfortable and confident in. It can be dressed up or down and is suitable for an array of occasions, even weddings (despite the superstitions around it).
Choosing black bridesmaid dresses for your big day is actually quite genius. Why? There’ll be no arguments over who doesn’t “suit the colour”, and they’ll all be able to wear the dress more than once – especially if they’re prone to a black-tie event or looking to add to their collection of party dresses.
Apart from the obvious boxes to be ticked when it comes to planning your nuptials (sorting out your engagement party dress, deciding on what wedding decoration style to go for depending on your star sign, and sending out all those wedding invitations), buying your bridesmaid dresses online should be relatively near the top of the list. If you’re running short of time, however, and need something that’ll keep everyone happy – yourself included – then the black bridesmaid dresses we’ve picked will make sure one thing is ticked off your busy wedding to-do list.

The best part? They come SS25-approved. Dolce and Gabbana put midi styles down the runway (look at those cut-outs), while Gucci opted for floor-sweeping maxis.

As much as we love on-trend sage green bridesmaid dresses, floral bridesmaid dresses and even white bridesmaid dresses to match you, nothing quite trumps the elegance of black. Available at a wide range of price points with multiple silhouettes to choose from, even multiway so the girls don’t have to match exactly if they don’t want to, black bridesmaid dresses are a clear winner.
