| Bride wears white, Bridesmaids in red, Groom/Groomsmen in black tuxes.Centerpieces: A chessboard in the middle of the table with the heads of red roses scattered across it.Favours: With all the chessboards you have for centerpieces, you should have gotten a bunch of chesspieces. Give them away as favours. Tie a red ribbon around them and attach a made-up a lovey-dovey poem for each type of piece. (Don't give out the King and Queen!)White tablecloths with black napkins. Black chair covers with red sashes.Bridal Bouquet: A hand-tied bouquet of Penny Black Nemophila and Red Gerbera Daisies.Feature a black and white checkered dance floor. Get a double ice luge in the shape of King and Queen chess pieces. Set it on a table with a red tablecloth.Use a King and a Queen from the chess sets as cake-toppers. The cake should alternate layers: 1 checkerboard, one white with black flowers drawn on. Between each layer, fill the space with red roses. |

| I found this:Don't go overboard though... add just a hint here and there. For example, white roses with the tips tinted red and nestled in a black vase sitting on a table covered in a white tablecloth. Use black napkins secured with white napkin rings and a hint of some other color. These are simple accents that you could try which won't overpower the black and white theme.Bridal Attire For The Entire Wedding PartyKeep your wedding attire simple. A black & white wedding doesn't go well with ruffles and frills. For the bride, dress in a sleek straight cut white gown. Some raised embroidered details near the hem would look lovely. Add a long chiffon scarf draped around the front of the neck, over the shoulders and hanging down the back of the dress.Have your bridesmaid's dress in black. Here is a good place to add that accent color if you wish. On the bridesmaid's outfits add a colored chiffon accent scarf or have them carry a single, accent colored flower.The groom and groomsmen should dress in black tuxedos with white shirts. Again, you can incorporate an accent color here on the cummerbunds. Very smart!Decorations & Favors For A Black & White Wedding ThemeDecorating your ceremony and wedding reception locations should be a snap. Remember to keep it simple and uncluttered.For pew markers choose large white bows with a black center knot. Want an accent color? Attach a small silk flower in center of knot in your color choice.Use white tablecloths, black napkins, black dishes... or reverse this if possible and if it isn't too expensive (black tablecloth, white napkins, white plates). For the napkins, have your names and wedding date printed in the opposite color. Accent the settings with a colored foil-wrapped chocolate rose, a rose candle across the plates, or use colored napkin rings (for cloth napkins).Use black and white balloons for arches and balloon bouquets. Tie black balloons with white ribbon, white balloons with black ribbon.On tables, select white flower for arrangements in black ceramic vases. Tie an accent colored ribbon around the neck of the vase for emphasis. Another table centerpiece idea would be to use black candlesticks or candelabras with white taper candles.Light up the tables with black and white floating candles in a clear bowl. Alternatively, use black candles in a white bowl and vice versa. You could also fill a clear, wide vase or jar with black and white marbles/beads, etc. and set a white or black candle inside. Alternate the candle colors on different tables.Wedding favors could consist of white wedding cake bubbles, personalized mint tins, almonds or chocolates placed in black & white dress and tuxedo favor boxes, or perhaps candies or nuts nestled in miniature black top hats.Flowers, Arrangements and Bridal BouquetsThe type of arrangement you'd like to have is best discussed with your florist. However, here are some flower suggestions that you may want to consider for your flower arrangements, table centerpieces, as well as bouquets. Keep in mind, a single flower can often make more of an elegant statement than an overflowing bouquet, especially with a black & white wedding theme.Combine black "Queen of Night" tulips with white tulips.White orchids are always beautiful.White roses and black roses.Other white flowers: Gladiolus, Lilacs, Carnations, Gardenia, Stephanotis, Calla Lily, Apple Blossom, Magnolia, Narcissus, Aster, White Lilies.RefreshmentsAlcohol wise...Black Russians and White Russians, of course! |

| I am doing a black and white wedding in two months. I chose black invitations with white writing, and they turned out beautifully. I allowed the bridesmaids any black dress of their choosing so long as it was tea length or longer. The groomsmen are wearing black tuxes, and I am wearing a white dress with a black sash, as are the flower girls. For the centerpieces, I am using three vases of varying heights, each with a different white flower (like one with roses, one with hydrangea...) Also, for a favor idea, I saw a table with jars of lots of different types of white candy, where guests could choose what they wanted and put it in a cute monogrammed container. Good Luck! |
