Love black but don’t feel you can have it in your wedding?  Of course you can!  Adding touches of black across elements of your wedding doesn’t mean you have to have a dark and moody feel to your wedding day.

Keep it classic and elegant with black lettering on thick, white paper stock for your wedding invites;  accessorize your wedding gown with a black belt, or maybe those shoes you’ve had your eye on that you love, only come in black.  Black doesn’t have to mean dark and depressing – black and white is a classic combination and mixing it with soft pinks, greens or even greys creates not only a striking and pretty look, but a modern, romantic and sophisticated feel.

This colour combination is perfectly suited to a contemporary city wedding, country barn wedding, or outdoor wedding – I love the tablescape in this inspiration board, it really oozes glamour with the combination of gold cutlery and pink florals.   And those shoes!  And that cake!

Whatever your feelings are toward black as a wedding colour, used in the right way as an accent colour really works well, and you can still have that modern, romantic feel without losing the elegance.
