Black and White Wedding Theme
Black and white theme for a wedding is elegant and sophisticated and can make up for a lack of that in the venue while at the same time, it can enhance an already elegant and fabulous venue.. Remember to keep it warm with candle accents and fill the room with beautiful blooms for femininity and softness and perfume.
Black and white weddings in France may include a black tie ceremony and reception or the simple, yet elegant, look of black and white combined with briliant reds, royal blues or glistening silver creating a striking effect with an aristocratic atomosphere especially at a french wedding. Avoid green it looks dull combined with black and white. You want a brilliant colour or a metalic colour for accent.
The theme particularly works for winter, spring and autumn weddings in France. With this wedding theme less is more which is fabulous for your bank balance. If you are pushed for your wedding budget you should pick a mid-week winter wedding in a destination heritage wedding in France with minimalist black and white decoration. Let your french wedding venue carry your “wow” factor and highlight it with carefully chosen decorations and bulk classic flowers like roses, tulips or lillies.
For a typical color combination the bridesmaids can deck up in black gowns and groomsmen can come in black tuxedos while the bride can dress up in white gown or may be an ivory shade or pearl white shade.
For decorations the simplest concept is to start with a white table cloth and add black accents to it. A Black satin table runner will work wonders as it’s the highlight of black you want, with a soft sheen. Go completely over board with tea light candles for warmth on your table. You could have a fish bowl for the centrepiece filled with black and white floating candles or add candle votives around an existing centrepiece. For a trendy twist select black table linen and scatterthe tables with white feathers. Again, the odd splash of silver will be quite in keeping.
In fact the selection of wedding colors should be a reflection of one’s mood and personality. Thus a bright and jovial selection of color combinations will always reflect a happy and romantic hue to the occasion.
Using feathers as your wedding theme is a fantastic way of getting the black and white theme into your big day. Also the centrepiece does not obstruct your guests vision and flow of conversation around your tables. You could add some battery powered tealights in your vase. This looks particularly nice if coupled with mirror bases.
The black and white theme colors can be used in the invitation cards and other wedding related articles. But on the whole, the color of the background shouldn’t clash with the rest of the surroundings.
Regarding spring and summer collections, pearl or sleek jewelry embellished with turquoise or sapphire stone which offers a very soft and mellowed touch to the whole concept of the color scheme, can be chosen. In case of a gorgeous color combination, a gorgeous jewelry set embellished with ruby or blue diamond is more advisable.
Regarding flowers, if you select light colors then white rose bouquets with pearly and silvery decorative accessories and beads for the bride and the bridesmaids and maid of honor are perfect for that sophisticated and soothing visual impact.
One should try to avoid too much of black and drab colors in the collection and too much of black and white may seem monotonous and dull instead of rendering a sophisticated look even at french wedding castle.
With the growing influence of modernism and fashion, it’s not necessary anymore to wear a white gown for a wedding. Now the other colors like red, scarlet red, beige, violet, mauve and yellow, blue, pink, and ivory are more in fashion.
One simple black and one white feather entwined on the front of an invitation would look classical, elegant and oh so en vogue. Bridesmaids can continue the feather theme with headpieces and floral arrangements that are heavy laiden with feathers.
