Vera Wang's black bridal gown collection, fab or drab?

My last fashion post was mainly for guys (see previous post: First impressions count), ok and maybe eye candy for the ladies, but this time it's girls only.
Almost every girl has an idea for their dream wedding (I'm special coz I never dreamed of getting married, hence I had no perfect wedding in mind but suprisingly I found myself walking down the isle, not so long ago, but the most exciting part of all the preperations was choosing my wedding gown). So whether you plan on saying, "I Do" in the near future (that is if your nigga ain't trippin') or maybe 10 years from now, it wouldn't hurt looking at a few dresses every now and again. Besides a girl is allowed to dream. 
Heck, I enjoyed wearing my gown so much I'm already thinking what to wear when I renew my vows a couple of years down the line *laughs to self*, don't judge me.
So, is the traditional white, and sometimes Ivory, wedding gown the way to go or is it time to be daring and get a little, or maybe not so little, creative?
