These bridesmaids who slayed the all black look prove that black is a happy color

Increasingly, modern day brides are going for an all black theme, where the bridesmaids and all guests wear all black and only the bride wears white. If you ask me, I think it's an amazing way to standout. All eyes will be on you. It's fair to say that in Kenya, this trend was started by stylist and fashion panelist, Annabel Onyango whose wedding to Sauti Sol's manager, Marek left tongues wagging. The mother of one walked down the aisle in a stunning gown with a lace top and overskirt bottom to tie the knot to her hubs who was also clad in all white as the guests, trussed up in all black outfits cheered on. That was one wedding Kenyans will never forget!

Popular actress, Catherine Kamau also went for the all black theme for her nuptials with Phil Karanja and well, they definitely pulled it off.

Many other brides out there have chosen the color, once associated with mourning and sadness to be the standout color on their wedding day, proving indeed that black is no longer a sad color. Modern weddings are all about doing what you feel like as it's your big day and really, you're allowed to wing it.
