Because your wedding is supposed to be about you, you should disregard any expectations that others may have. For some, this implies that the wedding of their dreams will be exactly what they had envisioned.
For others, it means a completely different sensation. We’ll go through some ideas for an all-black wedding in this post. Take a look at some of our favorite modern black wedding ideas!
Modern Black Themed Ideas
Many people identify weddings with soft, romantic colors, such as the delicate cream of a bridal gown or the pale pink of flowers. However, these color palettes aren’t for everyone, and it’s perfectly fine if you want to go to something a little more daring, like a modern black wedding!
Wedding Decorations
Colors from your wedding can be seen in your decor, flowers, and bridal party outfits, among other things. They aid in establishing the tone and aesthetic of your wedding before you focus on more particular themes.
While some items for your wedding may be difficult to obtain in black, if you truly commit to the theme, it will be stunning.
