"Black Dress Pre-Wedding Shoots" Are Trending
Costumes Worn During Pre-Wedding and Photo Weddings.
Some brides wear white wedding dresses, while others choose a colored dress that differs from their wedding day gown. The selection of pre-wedding dresses varies from person to person...
Recently, the trending color that feels dynamic is **black**.
Pre-wedding shoots in black dresses are often seen on Instagram, showcasing stylish and modern photographs that particularly catch my attention ♡
Because it's not often chosen for weddings, why not for a pre-wedding shoot? ♡
Until recently, black dresses were perceived as the opposite of the wedding world, and there weren't many companies making them or dress salons and shops that carried them, so the option of choosing black didn't even seem available...
(I recall Avril Lavigne wearing a black dress at her first wedding and receiving boos...)
Recently, dress manufacturers have been announcing black dresses as a trend, making it a hot topic and something to watch in bridal fashion ♡
(At a dress exhibition I attended recently, the staff mentioned that inquiries for black dresses have been high for about a year!)
With so many fashionable black dresses emerging and becoming widely available, it's understandable that more brides are choosing them for pre-wedding shoots.
Also, I feel that not many brides actually choose a black dress on their wedding day.
(Considering how guests perceive it, the atmosphere of the venue, and the reactions of the groom and mother during fittings...)
When pondering over these factors, opting for a black dress in a pre-wedding or photo wedding, where you can freely create your own world view, might indeed be the better choice.
And by using the photos for videos, welcome boards, and profile books, you can showcase a stylish look that differs from the atmosphere on the big day! ♡
For adding variety or creating contrast, I definitely recommend black dress pre-weddings ♡
Perfect for Ennuie Locations ♡
In fact, when I look at photos from black dress pre-wedding shoots, I find that locations with a nonchalant atmosphere suit the black dress perfectly, creating stylish imagery.
Backgrounds like cloudy skies or sunsets, rugged rock formations, beaches, or streets with a slightly edgy vibe.
For example.

Also Suits Classical Settings ♡
Additionally, shooting in classical atmospheric locations, such as historical buildings, also seems to perfectly fit black dress pre-weddings.
In Japan, for example, the Tokyo Station area is popular.
Now, even non-brides are familiar with the Tokyo Station area as a well-known pre-wedding location, making it a common sight.
However, shooting in a black dress in that same location gives the photos a more chic, fashionable, and urban vibe, making it feel fresh to look at.
Being able to leave photos with a different taste from others in the same place is also appealing! ♡

Brands for Black Dresses*
I also took a look at the coordination of black dresses.
For location shoots, dresses that are not too puffy, like slender or mermaid styles, are particularly popular.
Here are some brand and shop recommendations*
(👗) Dress Benedetta
(👗) Urban Blanche
(👗) Pronovias
(👗) MATSUO
(👗) If you prefer a fluffy style, Kiyoko Hata is a good choice ♡
Since completely black dresses are not part of the standard lineup in most dress shops, I recommend reaching out to a "Dress Concierge" for assistance.
When you inquire with a Dress Concierge, they will introduce you to nearby retailers and assist with fitting reservations! ♡
Whether you’re asking, "Do you have this dress from this brand?" or "Is there a store in Kanagawa that carries black dresses?" they can assist with either inquiry 💬
