A growing trend in weddings this year is patterned bridesmaid gowns. Brides are getting tired of the same old shiny satin solid dinner gowns that bridesmaids have worn for years now and are opting for color accents and now, even prints! These styles are also popular among bridesmaid because they can wear them again - a definitely bonus considering how much the average bridesmaid spends on their dress for a wedding!

The ones shown here are from JCPenney and have the added plus of being VERY affordable! I was checking out their wedding section and then started browsing. I found these styles in their Fun & Flirty Dresses section and they have quite a few that would be great for a black & White Wedding theme and if paired with the right shoes and accessories could work for even a somewhat formal wedding.
