Sophie Cachia is an Australian blogger and a mother who decided she was going to do something different for her wedding. Rather than choosing to wear the traditional white wedding gown, she decided to go for something different. Her choice was a black wedding dress, and her husband work a paisley shirt with a black bow tie, black leather pants and a maroon dinner jacket.
They say they did it for themselves, but you can read more in her explanation.
“The first thing I must state is that my choice had NOTHING to do with the old ‘white wedding dresses are for virgins. Evidently though, my 18-month-old son Bobby is proof that that boat sailed years ago. I only assume that throughout my experiences and knowledge of our generation that if only virgins wore white, we’d be seeing more of an array of multi-coloured brides.”
“The thing was though, I never saw myself in those white dresses”
“My choice had NOTHING to do with the old ‘white wedding dresses are for virgins’”
“Black is classic. It looks good on just about everyone. It’s bold, it’s sexy, it’s daring.”
“My now husband suggested I wear black when we first got engaged”
“We don’t do anything by the book”
“We didn’t see the point in doing anything traditional because traditional simply isn’t us”
“Our ‘wedding’ was simply a big party bash, where we served pizza and paella”
“I’ve been completely blown away by the positive response to my gown”
“If I cared about people’s opinions and judgments, I wouldn’t have made such a move in the first place”
“I didn’t do it for anyone else but myself and Jaryd”
“I simply see it as me wearing exactly what I wanted to on my wedding day, not what I thought I had to wear”
