Black Wedding Dresses in Arizona
For the bride who never pictured herself in white.
White was never the rule.
A black wedding dress is romantic, dramatic and completely, unmistakably you. At Ohana Bridal in Gilbert, we carry the Valley’s best variety of black wedding dresses, from draped satin with a thigh-high slit to couture Mikado and corseted gowns with black lace.
Try them on in your own private suite with a stylist who gets your vision, then let our in-house seamstresses at Suzanne’s Sewing Service tailor every line. Brides come to us from Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler and across Arizona for gowns they can’t find anywhere else.

Four ways to wear black
Head-to-toe noir
Head-to-toe black is the boldest statement you can make walking down the aisle. Satin and Mikado give it a rich, sculptural finish that photographs beautifully.
Black & ivory
Love tradition but crave contrast? Pair a black gown with an ivory veil, or choose a style that comes in both shades so you can compare them side by side in your suite.
Dark lace & corsetry
Lace motifs, boning and a basque waist give a black gown a romantic, gothic-fairytale feel without losing an ounce of elegance.
A touch of noir
Not ready for a full black gown? Start with black accents: a dramatic veil, a belt or statement jewelry styled during a complimentary accessory appointment.
Wearing black in the Arizona sun
A few things our stylists share with every bride planning a black wedding dress in the desert.
Say “I do” at golden hour
Black fabric soaks up the sun, so an evening or sunset ceremony keeps you comfortable, and the warm desert light makes black satin glow in photos.
Choose your texture
Satin reads glamorous, Mikado reads sculptural and lace adds softness. Try each in your suite to see how they move and feel in person.
Tailor it in-house
Dark colors show every line, so fit matters. Suzanne’s Sewing Service handles your bustle, hem and fitting right here, led by a seamstress with nearly 50 years of bridal experience.
Black wedding dress questions
Is it okay to wear a black wedding dress?
Absolutely. More brides are choosing black to reflect their personality, their venue or simply what makes them feel most beautiful. Your wedding, your rules.
Where can I try on black wedding dresses near Phoenix?
Ohana Bridal is in Gilbert at 645 N Gilbert Rd, Suite 174-176, about 30 minutes from downtown Phoenix and easy to reach from Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe and Queen Creek. Appointments are complimentary and take place in a private suite.
Do you carry black wedding dresses in plus sizes?
Yes. We carry plus-size samples, and many of our designers offer gowns made to order in extended sizes. Tell us your size when you book and your stylist will pull the black styles that fit.
Can I order a gown in black if the sample is ivory?
Some designers offer select styles in black or black-and-ivory. Your stylist can tell you which gowns are available in black and show you swatches during your appointment.
How far in advance should I shop?
Designer gowns are made to order and then tailored, so we recommend starting about a year before your wedding. On a tighter timeline? Ask about our Wiki Wiki Experience for off-the-rack gowns you can take home the same day.
Do you offer alterations for black wedding dresses?
Yes. Our in-house team at Suzanne’s Sewing Service handles fittings, bustles and hems for every gown purchased at Ohana, so you never have to find a separate seamstress.
It doesn’t have to be white.
It just has to be you.
