Randy Fenoli has seen many bridal trends come and go as a wedding dress designer, bridal consultant, and fashion director at Kleinfeld Bridal of "Say Yes to the Dress" fame.
And there are a few trends he can't get on board with.
Fenoli said he doesn't like black gowns, both because he doesn't enjoy the aesthetic and because he thinks they're bad business for wedding-dress designers, as they may make white dresses less appealing.

"Once we as bridal gown designers start doing colored wedding dresses, they become evening gowns," he said. "So we're putting ourselves out of a job. Anybody can go to any store and buy a black dress or a red dress."
"There are so many girls that look beautiful in black, but this is the one day where you get to wear white," Fenoli said, adding that he does think soft, pastel shades are appropriate for wedding dresses.
"I think that black personally should be reserved for funerals," he went on to say. "And that is just my opinion. And I'm gonna stick behind that 100%."
Despite his strong feelings about black wedding gowns, Fenoli didn't rule out the possibility that he may design one himself someday.
"I may do one one day just as a joke," he said.
