Mysterious, sexy, glamorous and dramatic are some of the words used to describe the black and white wedding gown trend. Many stylish brides are waiving au revoir to traditional gowns and using the aisle as their personal runway by providing a refreshing twist.
Renowned designers such as Vera Wang, Oscar De La Renta, J. Mendel, and Carolina Herrera (to name a few) hit all the right notes by refining classic style with impeccable black and white details.

Vera Wang stunned us with black long gloves and gorgeous embroidered lace detailing while Chanel dazzled with black-hued hand beaded collars.

We personally appreciate a mix of contrast when styling brides as it provides an element of edge and allure. Sleek and sophisticated without being close to becoming “too much.”
Chanel Iman looked amazing in this J. Mendel black and white striped organza gown with asymmetrical draping last week while attending the 2013 Met Gala in New York.
Tell us, would you wear one of these gowns?
