Back in the days of yore, wearing black to a wedding would be considered shocking, if not downright scandalous. But luckily for us, the times have changed! Now that we’ve discovered that black is always a chic choice, they’ve become a classic sighting at weddings. And not just for the guests.

I don’t think you can fathom how often I’ve heard the phrase, “You can wear it again.” One look at Katherine Heigl’s wardrobe in ‘27 Dresses’ and I can understand how this phrase is frequently met with poorly concealed scepticism to blatant disbelief. Considering a bridesmaid dress is intended to match the flowers, the theme, the venue and the table setting to a tee, it is understandable that regardless of how beautiful the gown is, it’s no easy task to find an appropriate place to wear it again.

You could trawl through all of the beautiful runway photos from the Fall 2014 bridal collections for hours… I may or may not be speaking from experience. These are my top picks, from Alexander McQueen to Vera Wang. I hope they give you some inspiration for your dream dress!
