Black & White Wedding Invitations

 

A Beautiful Color Contrast

Wedding InvitationsWhile in Western cultures, white is traditionally the color associated with weddings (probably because of purity, trust, etc.) that doesn’t mean you can’t throw in a little color contrast at your wedding. The combination of black and white has considerable visual appeal. It’s eye-catching. Even though black and white wedding invitations are definitely a great start for adding this contrast to the look of your big event, you don’t have to stop there.

Black & White Wedding Invitations – From Fun to Formal

As you probably already know if you’re a regular reader here, your wedding invitations should set the tone and theme for the rest of the event. The good news is if you want to go with a black and white motif you still have the option of choosing either a more casual celebration or more formal festivities. If you prefer something fun and casual (and you’d prefer to go with a black and gray color scheme) the Black Diamond Keepsake Jacket Invitations might be a good choice. If you want to keep that stark contrast, a better choice might be the very popular Black Licorice Slim Invitations. If you’re having a large traditional wedding with a sit down catered meal at the reception, then you may want to send out invitations that are a little more elegant, such as the Black Celebration Pocket Invitations or the Black Toile Overlay Invitations.

Black & White as Your Wedding’s Color Theme

Besides the invitations, you can make these contrasting colors the center of your wedding theme in a number of ways. For example, your wedding cake could be covered in white frosting with black decorations (you’d want to avoid black roses unless you’re going for a gothic wedding theme). Your decorations could be done in black and white, too. Two white balloons tied to a black balloon and hung in the corners, along banisters, or even on chair backs can add a nice touch. For your linens, you could have white (or black) tablecloths with napkins of the opposite color.

If you are wearing a white wedding dress, then you can add touches of black to the ensemble. Black sash, ebony jewelry, even a black handbag would give just enough dash of darkness to create the contrast you want (Wedding Invitations to Match Your Wedding Dress). Plus, if the groom is wearing a black suit or tuxedo the two of you will look beautiful together at the altar.

The bottom line is you don’t need a lot of bright colors to have a beautiful wedding. Something as simple as black and white can create just the effect you’re looking for.
