I love the idea of having all my bridesmaids in black. Its a classy color, it looks great on everyone and the picutres turn out great with that color. Also they will be wearing a convertible dress so they can totally wear that it again esp. it being in black.
But is it not a good color? My mother keeps telling me it reminds her of a funeral. But I was at a wedding where all the bridesmaids were in black and they looked so beautiful! The dress is convertible but looks like this (remember they can change the top part to the style the most like).
Opinions? Suggestions? Thanks ladies! :)

My BMs are wearing black and I think it'll look gorgeous! =] Like you said, it's such a classy color and anyone can wear a LBD again!
Yay! All of my BMs were in black and they looked gorgeous. I loved their dresses. And no, despite what a ton of people like to suggest, my wedding did not look like a funeral.
I love seeing weddings where the BMs wear black. It's classy to me. Plus, it'll match just about any colors you choose for your decor. It also looks great with bright colored floral bouquets.
I say go for it!
i was a bridesmaid who wore black for a wedding. i didn't like it when i was alone, but in pictures with all the other girls it looked graet. and it really makes the bouquets they carry pop.
Ah thanks so much! This really helps! bloodgo1 your girls look gorgeous! All my fears are put to rest and I'm totally sticking with black 
My BM's are wearing black as well! I think it looks very classy. Plus, they can definitely wear it again LOL!
My bridesmaids will be in black. Here is the dress.

My BM are wearing long black strapless dresses! It looks SO good on all of them, and so classy! They will carry green hydrangea bouquets!
I have that dress! (Bring double sided tape to make sure it stays where it's supposed to!) I think black is the way to go. At least the girls will walk away with a dress they will wear again! Plus, it looks good with everything you throw at it!
My girls all chose their own black dress for my wedding and they looked amazing. There is no way anyone at a wedding is going to be thinking "funeral" - how could they when everyone is so happy and excited all day??
Black is classy and looks great. Go for it!
Love it! My mom still thinks it is inappropriate to wear black to a wedding as a guest so she wouldn't let me get black BM dresses lol! But she was paying for them so we compromised on silver. ANyways go for it- it looks very elegant and classic!
people are just used to black being a funeral color but i've seen quite a few weddings with black bridesmaids dresses and they all looked very chic and stylish
I don't think black dresses would remind me of a funeral. I've worn black as a guest. I think black is a bit "over done" for BM dresses, but it does look nice.
@OutsideWeddingBee: I think black is fine for an evening wedding, but I'm not a huge fan of that dress. Since black is black, maybe you can just let your bridesmaids pick out their own LBD that is most flattering to them. A bridesmaids dress they might actually wear again!
I also have my mom's voice in the back of my head saying "Black isn't for young girls, you should wear color." So of course now I like color for weddings. But that's just my thing, you should love your bridesmaids dresses and if you love black, than go for it!
I've been a BM in two weddings wearing black and they are always my FAVORITE! Flowers pop and it looks classy and elegant (not funeral) in pictures.
Black BM dresses are no longer an anolomy. My mom thought the same thing about the wedding looking like a funeral.
At weddings, you give them bright or white flowers and if your'e in a white dress it will look classy not like death. It's all about contrast!
I like black because it is classy, and usually very flattering on anyone.
Mine will be in black also, I think it's beautiful. And since everyone looks good in black, chances are none of your BMs will have any complaints either! :)
My BMs are also wearing black!! I agree with the others, it is classy and always flattering :)
when my sister got married 9 years ago, she was living in Florida (all family is from new york and michigan) and she had her wedding in florida. she had all of her bridesmaids pick there own black dress to wear. it was so classy, elegant and beautiful. and it was cheap for all of her bridesmaids as well and they could pick something they would wear again. anyways, i think black and white weddings are so classy and everyone ALWAYS looks good in a LBD. GO FOR IT :) i wish i had some pics to share with you, unfortunately it was before digital lol
I'm doing black BM dresses, and letting each girl choose their own.
@ladyox: do you have any pictures of your bridesmaids together? I'm trying to gather pictures of other mismatched black BM dresses to send to my girls for inspiration pics.
My sister chose black for the BM dresses because her favorite color is black. She did get a lot of 'suggestions' for other colors, but stuck with what she liked and didn't regret it. So, I say go for black BM dresses!
I love black dresses and my BMs will be wearing them. It's just so easy and I'm all about making everything as simple and low stress as possible.
black is beautiful and sexy too. i like the myesterious feeling of it. i will suggest my bms to wear it too.
Mine are in Ivory/Black and they look awesome together!

we were going to do black dresses but FI was worried the black tuxes with black dresses would look too funerally. we were going to do the convertible dresses to but when my bm and i went to davids we couldnt even figure out the 6 in 1 dress let alone a dress with a zillion possibilities.
YAY!
I'm doing black BM dresses! I think black is so elegant and classy!
I've worn black as a bridesmaid. Unfortunately, the dresses weren't as cute as the ones you and the other bees have posted-- it screamed "Bridesmaid dress"-- so I've never worn it again after.
@magilnyc: I LOVE the look of that dress. Could you tell me where you've found it?
I say yay!!! I love the dress you chose!! It looks like the kind of cut and fabric that almost any woman can wear, and it's beautiful!! But of course I'm biased....my BMs are wearing black too!! ;)
Ours are black too. But whatever you're most comfortable with is what's important!
i'm waking up this thread with a question for those who did do black/are planning to - did you do black tuxes as well? did it seem like there was too much black?
