Black & White

Your really can't go wrong with the chic colour combination of Black & White. Classic and contemporary, it looks modern and fresh yet timeless. There are so many ways you can play with this colour theme. We have noticed alot of black dresses popping up too, we are loving the idea of having bridesmaids in black...a lovely contrast to the brides white dress, and softened with crisp white flowers and green foliage or some really bright bouquets to contrast with the monochrome. Beautiful! See some lovely ideas here.

Our gorgeous gatefold card looks stunning in White Alabaster textured card, with black inlay, black ribbon and a dusting of diamante's.

Our favourite flowers for a black and white theme are the beautiful Anemones..with there papery white petals and velvet black centres, they look stunning and give a beautiful vintage feel. We found these lovely images over at www.onefinedayevents.com
