Black And White Themes For Your Wedding

The black and white wedding theme offers almost endless opportunity for small touches that really add flair.With delicate touches and surprising details presented in classic black and white, your wedding will be an elegant affair that is the epitome of sophistication.

- Bridal Party

The most obvious contrast for a black and white wedding theme is the bride in her white wedding dress alongside her groom in his black tuxedo.  Alternatively you can have the groom in a white tuxedo and have the bridesmaids and groomsmen in black.     Black touches on a white wedding dress can look beautiful.

- Bridal Transport

You can pick a black limousine or a black vintage car to compliment the theme.  Alternatively a pair of black horses pulling a carriage looks stunning and very fairytale.  For the best pictures pick black horses with white socks and white blazes and ask your carriage company to tack the horses up with white plumes for your wedding.  White socks on horses stocks the horses looking like hearse horses.  If you can pick carriage horses that do not have feathers (on their feet not their head).  Heavy carriage horses like Fresians, Percherons, Clydesdales, Shires do not look as fine as Hackney horses or German or Dutch carriage horses that have been bred with some knee movement.  If you can not secure a pair of black horses, grey horses (or you may call them white) look gorgeous as well.  What most people call White horses are actually coloured horses with a grey modifier in their genes.  As they get older they turn more and more grey until they appear white.    The best type of horse carriage for a wedding is a landau or a viz-a-viz.  You want to have a canopy in case of bad weather which can be folded down in good weather for great photographers.

- Decoration

Book  a heritage property and let the architectural detail speak volumes for your wedding.  Louis XV staircases are stunning and the flourishes in the black wrought iron metalwork can be echoed in calligraphy for your invitations and menus, placecards.   Any wedding castle absolutely compliments this theme.

A black grand piano will be fabulous for your wedding music and great for your wedding photos.  An old piano with sculptured legs and lyre pedals and scroll music stand is incredible for a black and white wedding theme.

- Photography

Consider asking your photographer to take some specific photos with black backgrounds.  Pouring champagne into a pyramid champagne glasses is a class photo.   Or a photograph taken of champagne sabering at your wedding chateau is unforgettable.

- Cake

As the centerpiece of your black and white wedding theme, you should ensure that your cake stands out in the reception room. Start with a  cake covered in white frosting, and then be creative with black touches to decorate. Alternatively go for individual cup cakes with french cut laser cut cup cake liners.  Stack them up on a black multi-tiered black scrolled cake stand.

- Surprising black and white touches

Set the tables with black tablecloths to make white napkins and tableware stand out.  

A wedding in France is a spectacular place to showcase a black and white wedding theme.  If you get a chance have some engagement photos taken of you in Paris for projection in black and white at your reception.  Your guests will sharing your photos whilst eating before the wedding speaches start or interspersed amongst the speeches.    Think of the Eiffel Tower, The Champs d’Elysses, the Louvre pyramid and the Arch de Triomphe, and Pont Neuf.    Yet your timing right to make the most of the sunsetting and natural light.
