Wedding trends come and go but a classic black and white wedding may never go out of style. For many years, brides wouldn’t dream of using black at a wedding but this opinion has greatly changed over the past few years. These colors are now known as a classic and elegant wedding palette.
Black and white wedding dresses are always on trend. I love the look of brides wearing a black sash or black hair or jewelry accessories.
Of course I think its a great idea to have your bridesmaids wear black dresses. What girl doesn’t feel like a million bucks in the right black dress? Plus, it may actually be the only dress they can wear again after the wedding is over! Some brides are even allowing their bridesmaids to choose their own dresses in black so they feel their absolute best!
How handsome are these white tuxes with black pants and bow ties? Love, Love, Love!
If you are wanting a modern look and feel to your wedding using patterns in black and white, such as chevron and stripes, are a great way to add visual interest.
For the reception don’t be afraid to use black linens to make the white flowers pop out against the black. If you don’t want such a bold look, try white linens with black glassware to really stand out on the tables.
Wedding cakes are becoming such an integral and important part of the wedding and I think it is so chic to match to wedding cake to the black and white wedding theme. Still not sure how I feel about a black cake, but I think a white wedding cake with black accents is gorgeous.
