London, Nov 21 A larger number of money-conscious British brides are going for black dresses instead of white ones on their wedding days.

Women are opting for black dresses so they can wear them on other occasions.

And the trend has become so popular that even brides wearing white choose black gloves or jewellery.

"Black dresses embellished with lace and pearls are an attractive choice," the Daily Star quoted a spokesman for bridal website WeddingPath as saying. (ANI)
