Would you class black roses as suitable flowers for weddings?

Hi all. I have set a date for my wedding (25-09-21) and am starting to piece it together. I have a colour scheme and flowers in mind (white, purple and lilac roses).
Am debating whether to include black roses or not. My hairdo is gonna be styled with lilac rose hair slides and small purple and white rose claw clips; I also have black rose hair slides and was debating adding these to not just my wedding hairdo but also the colour scheme and flowers for the day. I know roses are often associated with weddings but would you consider black a wedding-y rose?

It depends on your style, SIL is a goth I'd fully expect to see black roses at her wedding.
Personally I like them.

Watch Christina’s wedding in Selling Sunset for an ultra luxe gothic style wedding!
She’s all about the black roses... not to everyone’s taste but if it’s what you want I think it could look amazing.

Black will dominate, especially with white and lilac. Have a google of black rose wedding bouquets to get an idea if this is the look you want or if it’s too overpowering. They aren’t un-weddingy if they are what you want. I had daffodils - they’re not overly weddingy.

I attended a wedding with black roses but there wasn't anything pale like lilac, just purple.
Not my cup of tea, but I thought good for them.

@Mum2jenny

Up to you 100% but I’d love black roses. However it may not be too weddingingly (is that a real word??)
Nope

Your wedding your choice! My SIL had a black and white wedding dress. It was totally her style.

Have whatever flowers you want. It's your day, not anyone else's and do what you want.

Well, it's yours and your husband to be's day but you know what I mean!!
