BLACK & WHITE MAKES FOR QUITE THE SMART AFFAIR!

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

    Oh how I am so with you on two things: (1) In love with the idea of getting to throw/have 5 weddings in order to fulfill my many ideas of themes, colors, dresses, etc. (2) Love the black and white theme. So Gorgeous! So many options!
    You found some beautiful ideas. Uhhh, the centerpieces alone make me want to go throw a b&w party :) sigh….
