Bridesmaid Black Cocktail Dresses

"I didn't want my bridesmaids to spend a lot of money on an unflattering dress that they probably wouldn't like or might never wear again," says Catherine. "I just told everyone to wear a short black dress of their choice. That way, everyone could wear something that was flattering and made them feel beautiful. I also figured that everyone either had a black dress already and if not, it gave them the perfect excuse to go shopping!"
