It’s bold, striking, elegant, and surprisingly pretty, and it can suit a summer country wedding just as perfectly as a contemporary city celebration. There’s a reason why couples ask for black & white wedding pictures. It looks modern yet timeless. So let’s be inspired by everything monochrome; from creative cakes to fabulous flowers, here are some images that we think are great for inspiring brides who wish to invest in such a classic theme.

If you asked what colors are classic and yet modern for weddings? The answer would be black & white every time. This color palette is not only timeless, but it is and has been the center of attention in the past year and sets to continue its popularity.

Table Aesthetics

There is nothing quite like black and white weddings! It adds instant elegance. For decor ideas how about white tablecloths and black napkins or black vases with white peonies? White candles, transparent black glass vases and retro photos could also be a good combination to this theme. Dishes should be predominantly white and napkin holders can be black. White curtains can be decorated with black ribbons or tulle.
Mesmerizing Cakes

While black and white wedding cakes might sound plain or boring, they are quite the opposite. This cute design would be great for a classic wedding, even a minimalist one. Consider a five-tier black ruffled beauty with calla lilies and white roses., it would be a stunner. Or if you are a lover of art, go with geode patterns that will evoke art and mystery along with the sweetness it carries.

When choosing your attire, the black and white wedding theme allows you to be both traditional and creative. While a black-tie dress code clearly lends itself well to a black-and-white wedding, the color palette can work with attire at any formality level, from glam formal weddings to casual DIY rustic weddings and everything in-between.

Defined by modernity and contemporary style–and there’s nothing we love more than fresh, colorful weddings! Get creative, and accent black and white with soft colors like pink, lavender or gold to add a touch of fun to your decor. We love how this wedding invitation revealed a sleek black and white design.
