Black and white wedding

A few years ago, a monochrome design would be considered an avant-garde and awkward idea, because black is considered not the most suitable for a wedding. The combination of white and black is a contrast, but surprisingly organic. This is an ideal pair that complements each other, and it’s not for nothing that the well-known Yin and Yang symbol is made in these tones. Why not emphasize the unity of the masculine and feminine and not arrange their triumph in this vein?

White color symbolizes tenderness and purity, black - mystery and change. A strict and elegant combination is completely self-sufficient, but you can dilute it with other shades - red, orange, green, cold blue.

Invitations, cards, bonbonnieres in black and white

As legendary Coco Chanel said, “You will not have another chance to make a first impression” - this statement is also true for a wedding. Black is better to use accentually, the main background, choose white. For the design of cards suitable hand-painted, lace, dark ribbons, beads, feathers, paper flowers and other accessories. This combination adds to the invitation of rigor, formality, but it looks surprisingly elegant.

Invitation cards with silhouettes look great.

Quilling, decoupage, appliqués and other types of handicraft are also welcome. Now everything is in fashion exclusive and unusual. Bonbonnieres can also be made interesting: they can be made in the form of some kind of a figure (you can even master the technique of origami), paint it manually, stick colorful stickers or photos, and embroider the fabric with beads and beads. Such a souvenir will want to keep as a souvenir every guest!

The image of the bride and groom at a black and white wedding

If you are brave and are not afraid of experiments, you can easily choose a black outfit - it has not been considered strange or gloomy for a long time. According to legends, a night-color dress has a special protective force and reflects any negative from its owner. Many celebrities were married in such dresses: Sarah Jessica Parker, Tina Turner, Vera Wong, Avril Lavigne, Tina Kandelaki and others.

Of the merits of a black dress, it is worth noting: it is less soiled, visually makes the figure more slender, the dress that is correctly chosen looks very impressive. However, then the notorious airiness and lightness will be alien to the bride, and it will be extremely difficult for others to depart from stereotypes.

A white dress with contrasting inserts or sewing will be a compromise. In black, you can choose a satin belt, shoes, handbag, even a veil with a dark fringe!

In black and white, lush or flowing clothes look best - silk, chiffon, satin. A real find will be the contrasting lace or lace on the frill skirt. By the way, it will be much easier to choose shoes: in black color there are much more original models of sandals and shoes. An elegant black hat, gloves, veil, hoop with a big flower will also perfectly complement the image.

Perhaps the brides will like the idea with two dresses: you can go to the registry office in classic white, and in the evening you can change into beautiful and elegant black.

As for the image of the groom, he must be no less refined. You can choose a suit to match your dress, and you can give preference to the classic - a black tuxedo with a white shirt. In the male image, it is not the color that plays the leading role, but the quality of the fabric and the cut. Various patterns, prints and textures work wonders even with not the most catchy colors!

Bridal bouquet and groom's boutonniere

Flowers are the same integral part of the image as a dress or shoes, so you need to approach their choice with full responsibility. It is desirable that the bouquet contrasted with the dress, otherwise it will simply merge and decorate its beauty. Of course, black and maroon flowers look very exotic, but they can not be found in every florist shop.

Therefore, we recommend choosing a composition of white flowers - lilies, roses, chrysanthemums, callas, anemones and others, and add black accents to them. These can be dark roses, dahlias, irises, berries, various brooches, pearls, feathers, special nets and so on. In extreme cases, your favorite flowers can be painted.

Dress code for guests

Those invited can also be asked to endure the theme of the wedding and come in black and white clothes - it will be easy, because things of this color are in everyone’s wardrobe. The main thing is to specify this information in advance in the invitation card.

As for bridesmaids, their outfits should be different from the bridesmaid dress. An unbeatable choice would be polka-dot or black-and-white striped dresses, especially as these prints are now in fashion. However, the classic “little black dress” will look just as good.

Registration of the hall at the monochrome wedding

First of all, select the theme of the wedding, even remote. This may be a classic monochrome ceremony, a holiday in retro style, a la France, a chess wedding or a polka-dot wedding. Prints choose the appropriate - they will become the basis of the composition. Experienced stylists recommend choosing a glossy black color - it looks richer and more luxurious.

It is possible to complement the interior with bright accents - the “color trio” - white, black, and red - looks particularly rich.

Black carved lamps, vases of frosted black glass, dark crockery, candlesticks, napkins with dark lace look perfect against the background of snow-white tablecloths. If you choose a fabric with an ornament, it should be large - small checkers and stripes will ruffle, but large cells look very organic.

You can use garlands, chess, flying fabrics and laces, balloons and much more as a decoration. Do not overdo it with dark shades, otherwise the atmosphere will be heavy and depressing.

You can beat the black and white tandem in the photos. Make beautiful collages by processing photos of the bride and groom under the retro style. Decorate the walls with monochrome posters with pictures of movie stars, black and white drawings.

Cake and cupcakes can also be part of the styling. Moreover, modern confectioners have no shortage of white and dark icing.

Wedding black and white procession

This, as they say, is a matter of taste. We take any black or white car of domestic or foreign production and decorate at will. Say at once: retro cars and so look very interesting, you should not completely cover them with flower butterflies, one beautiful flower arrangement or the notorious figures on the roof will be quite enough.

Monochrome wedding is a choice in favor of elegance and style, such a celebration can not be remembered if it is organized correctly!
