Stunningly Beautiful White and Black Theme Wedding Ideas

A white and black theme wedding is such a striking and classy color combination, even if you're not planning the utmost formal of wedding celebrations. There is just something so very elegant in the contrast between the whitest of whites and the blackest of blacks.

Outfitting The Wedding Party

Picture the bride in her beautiful white wedding dress with the groom in his black tuxedo and you've got the timeless classical wedding scene.

But with today's new styles, the bride can actually buy a stunning white wedding dress with just a hint of deep black embellishments such as embroidered accents while the groom also wears a sharp white tuxedo.

The attendants can offset this color scheme with the bridesmaids in black dresses and white accents and the groomsmen in black tuxedos with white shirts and ties.

Picture Perfect White and Black Wedding Invitations

There are a lot of chic options to choose from for wedding invitations, from decorative designs to simple black writing on a white invitation. Or you can layer the look for a more striking contrast by having a black background with black writing on a white foreground. Top it off with white and black intertwined ribbons.

If you're a musician, choose black and white piano keys with red rose petals for wedding invitations that keep to the white and black theme of your wedding.

Flowers and Decorating Ideas in a White and Black Theme

Bouquets created with all white flowers and ribbons are a favorite selection with brides and by adding the contrast of black on white - or white on black, you can have an absolutely stunning bouquet. Simply add one or two black roses to the white flowers then tie them together with black and white intertwined ribbon.

For table centerpiece decorations, the creations are limited only by your imagination. You can buy simple white vases with black accents or vice versa. Then wrap white roses with some black ribbon or tulle before placing them into the vase.

Table covers and utensils can be mixed and matched between white and black also. If you're having white table linens, consider black place mats and utensils to offset the white on the table. Add some black and white balloons and streamers around the reception venue and you'll have created a timeless classic of simple yet rich atmosphere for your dream come true wedding.
