Black and White Theme Wedding
Modern Black And White Theme Weddings
Theme weddings are hotter than ever, but many brides have a
difficult time trying to decide a theme for their wedding. There are
many ways for a bride to stir up inspiration. One great way to
brainstorm ideas for an original theme is to let colors guide the
bride.
For a bride who loves the classic look of black and white, a black
and white theme wedding is perfect. A black and white theme wedding
can be planned several ways. Depending on the wishes of the bride,
the wedding theme can take on a 1950’s look, a gothic look, an old
Hollywood style, or a modern city style. This versatile theme works
well for everyone and creates a beautiful wedding.
Invitations
Invitations are the first impression the guest gets of your wedding.
Many times brides do not realize this, and choose ordinary
invitations. Brides should be challenged to find engaging and
interesting invitations that will get the guests excited about the
wedding.
For the black and white theme with a city style, brides can choose
invitations that have a black and white picture or painting of a big
city skyline. For an old Hollywood style, brides can use invites
with black and white filmstrips across them. Brides can even request
their guests wear all black and white. No matter what theme you use
however, make sure the invitation allows the guests to have a sneak
peek at what to expect.
Decorations
Although we often use large amounts of tulle for wedding decor,
brides might want to skip using the versatile fabric in a black and
white theme wedding. Black and white theme weddings should have a
more sophisticated look and tulle might bring the look to a more
feminine and girly level. Tulle should be substituted with wide
satin ribbon. Ribbon in black and white can be used for pew bows.
Brides can add a sprig of baby’s breath to the bow to give it a chic
look.
Black and white theme weddings work wonderfully in the evening. Many
brides using this theme choose to make their wedding a black tie
event. Candles are
beautiful additions to an evening wedding. They create a classic
romantic look without looking too frilly. Candles should be used in
coordinating black iron holders and candelabras.
Flowers for the black and white theme can be a bit tricky. Some
brides choose to use another color in their arrangements to add
spice, however a true black and white theme uses only its namesake
colors. Roses are the best option for this theme, as they come in
both white and black. Many silk flowers come in these shades as well
and can be used to tie in the theme.
Ceiling hangings are
a great way to add interesting decor to a wedding ceremony. Brides
can create these hangings using wide strips of fabric, pearls, black
shiny beads, and a glue gun. By gluing an abundance of pearls and
beads onto the fabric, brides instantly create beautiful wedding
decor.
Reception
The reception of a black and white theme wedding should coordinate
with the theme as well. To decorate the reception location, brides
can use huge black and white framed posters of paintings and
photographs. By hanging them around the reception, brides can easily
tie in their theme.
Checkerboard pattern is another option for this theme. Tables can be
decorated with cloths in this pattern. Modern brides can also use
this pattern on their wedding cake. It is a beautiful way to
incorporate the theme into the reception food. Jazz is a great style
of music for this theme. Its sophisticated sound works nicely with
the style of the theme.
A black and white theme wedding is a great way to plan an
interesting and beautiful wedding. This theme is unrestrictive and
allows the bride to include many original ideas. The style of a
black and white wedding can be customized to fit the style of the
bride and groom. Overall, the black and white theme wedding is a
great option for any bride searching for a versatile wedding theme.
