Yay or Nay: Bridesmaids in black sequin dress

Y'all know I love black and these dresses look fab, but is black appropriate for a wedding? Are black bridesmaid dresses a 'do' or 'don't' ?

      Black is gorgeous but its a no for bridemaids. Black is for mourning. Weddings are brightful, colourful n a joyful celebration!

    People can like limitations. Why can't you wear whatever colour you like for a wedding? I do not believe in all the those restrictions. If I feel its what I want, I will very much do it.

    @famous Oluchi, whats nahh no way, If you say black is not an ideal color for a white wedding, why then do the groom wear Black suite? I love the combination, I think its trendy and unique!!!

    Who says Black is only for funeral... why do we have the LBD (little black dress)? we wear black to work and parties are this funerals? if we can trace the history of weddings some centuries back we'll find out that wedding dresses were black.
    somebody decided on a white dress and it has stayed with us from then till now. in my opinion a wedding dress should be anything you are comfortable in for the occassion.
    As for the black bridesmaid dresses its a good contrast from the bride's dress which i guess was white... beautiful dress and they look "LAS VEGASish"
