Black & White Wedding Themes
The key to getting this right is using the two colours together. Look at
them as yin and yang - nothing alone, but everything together just like
the perfect couple. And, the beauty of the monochrome look is that it
will work with any event, any location and any unusual wedding theme
that you want.

If your wedding theme is hearts, then lay tables in white linen. Dress
bridesmaids in tulip shades with large white sashes. Decorate tables
with white floral displays dashed with black sprayed flowers. Sprayed
flowers can look really tasteful if done carefully, but seek the advice
from a professional. Silver looks really good with both black and white,
so introducing a little of this could break it up a bit. Give male
guests black favour boxes filled with white heart sweets and female
guests white boxes filled with silver heart shape dragees.

Scatter tables with heart shape confetti in black, white and silver for
a sleek look. You'll be amazed at how stunning the overall effect of
this is - especially in the photographs. If you are going for the black
and white theme, ensure this starts at the invitation stage. This will
give people a taster of what's to come.... Bespoke design invitations
can easily be produced from black card with white heart shapes cut out.
Ensure these are written in silver ink and sealed in black envelopes.

Using feathers as your wedding theme is a fantastic way of getting the
black and white theme into your big day. As before, start at the
invitation stage. One simple black and one white feather entwined on the
front of an invitation would look classical, elegant and oh so en vogue.
Bridesmaids can continue the feather theme with headpieces and floral
arrangements that are heavy laiden with feathers. There are many styles
of fascinator available exclusively for brides so you could join in the
fun too. This will give your outfit a fresh and funky modern twist. When
it comes to the reception, floral arrangements need to be bold and white
and laced with large feathers. Favour boxes can be finished with
feathers and tables can be scattered with feathers. If possible, black
table linen would be a highly trendy twist, especially if you scatter
your tables with white feathers. Again, the odd splash of silver will be
quite in keeping.
However you plan to do it, if you're a brave and bold bride, be at the
cutting edge of bridal style this season and go for a black and white
wedding theme. As you can imagine though, black and white wedding themes
don't really lend themselves to summer weddings. Any winter, spring or
autumn wedding will be perfect for using such colours as your
inspiration, but best to stay away from height of the summer weddings as
it won't have the desired effect.
