BLACK & WHITE MAKES FOR QUITE THE SMART AFFAIR!

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Ahhh, as I search through hoards of wedding and reception decor photos, I can’t help but wish I could have 4 or 5 weddings, just to explore all the different fantastic color choices! Back in the world of reality though, my choices are fixed, and they are not black & white. :( However I’ll leave you (hopefully) inspired with some of the exciting motifs I’d try to recreate were this our color choice. The possibilities are so tempting, I swear if I had a wedding to spare, it would be black & white all the way…

Does Audrey Hepburn not make you want to get married just so you can wear this impossibly cute black & white dress!!??

So, even though black & white aren’t my favorite “real life” colors, something about the combination of these two gems for a wedding/party seems to transform the ordinary to the extraordinary! It was nice to have a whole different reception “in my imagination” with his funky duo. Does it out-class the other popular color combos?? What thinks ye? :) C
