Black And White Wedding Decorations

-- Black And White Wedding Decorations --





Nothing says timeless elegance better than the classic simplicity of black and white..

Black And White Wedding Decorations

Indeed, a black and white wedding theme can be one of the most modern, sophisticated, and chic color combinations out there. If you’ve decided on black and white as a theme, you are likely a classic, stylish bride with a passion for fashion and an eye for style!

You’ve probably got your bridesmaids wearing classic black dresses (they’ll love you because they will wear them time and again) and if you decide to wear a white dress, you may choose to have some elegant black detailing on it, that you can match to your black and white wedding cake.

Now it’s time to think about decorations!




















Black & White Flowers

Black flowers may be hard to find, but a black flower arrangement can be stunning and surprising.

For the bride with a budget and a real desire for black floral arrangements, it is possible! Lots of flowers come in almost-black shades, such as the Calla Lily or the Dendrobrium Orchid. Other flowers that come in dark colors include carnations, dahlias, and cosmos. For sleek black, you may be able to find black-tinted roses. Or, purchase silk flowers in black.

Interweave your floral arrangements with black urns, black beads, and branches painted black for a dramatic effect. White flowers are easier to find and you choose to do white bouquets with hints of black, black bouquets with hints of white, or a more even color combination.

Black and White Décor

The best thing about choosing black and white for your wedding day décor is it’s easy to match! There’s no fretting about which shade of aqua your centerpieces will be: black is black! While shades of white may vary, don’t worry about it too much as it will have little effect on your overall color scheme.

Consider having balloon centerpieces made of black and pearly white balloons, hanging about four feet above each table so guests can converse easily. Black candles can be stunning. Your linens will likely be white, but add a crisp black napkin at each place setting for a put-together look.


On top of what’s listed above, here are some classic decoration ideas that are well suited to a black and white wedding:

  • Top hats, canes, white gloves and suits - Have these ensemble items placed around the room or attached to the walls.
  • Dyed Rose Petals - Scatter these over table tops and counters.
  • Black and white photos and paintings - Have enlarged photos of the bride and groom put up throughout the room.
  • Vases
  • Confetti, gems or rocks - Dyed to black and white to match the theme.
  • Sand - Find sand that has been dyed/bleached black or white.
  • Tulle
  • Lights - String up black and white lights throughout the location.

    Fun and Funky Themes

    Your theme doesn’t need to be limited to two colors! For a fun twist, choose a black and white item and incorporate it into your day.

    Wedding Ideas

    Some suggestions: penguins, tuxedos, pianos, wedding bells, crosses, or hearts. For an elegant vintage spin, feature black-and-white movies as your theme. This can be done by playing a montage of romantic movie bits as guests find their seats (with the sound off and romantic music playing). Have old-Hollywood movie start portraits – preferably of couples – hung around the room. For real extravagance, you can even have a portrait done of you and your fiancé in the same style! Have fun with your theme and don’t be afraid to go overboard!

    Having a black and white themed wedding can be as simple or as funky as you like. One thing is for sure: with a classic black and white backdrop, your natural beauty will shine through!
