Black And White Is Right

A black and white wedding is always a classy choice. Here are some ideas to make your black and white wedding stand out from the crowd.

A black and white wedding is simple and uncluttered. With that in mind, the wedding party attire should be fairly easy to choose. The bride's gown shouldn't be too frilly or overdone or it detracts from the simplicity of the theme. The bridesmaids should all be dressed in black, although an accent color such as gold or silver is lovely if you like. One wedding I saw had the bridesmaids carry white lacy umbrellas instead of flowers which was an elegant touch. The groomsmen can wear black or white tuxedoes depending on the level of formality you are trying to achieve. Generally speaking, white tuxedoes are considered more formal than black.

The danger with a black and white color scheme is becoming unbalanced and favoring one color over the other. If you have too much white than you risk looking bland and boring; too much black and your decorations will start to resemble a funeral. Pew markers can be large white and black bows, alternating as you go down the aisles. Simple white tablecloths with black dishes or black tablecloths with white dishes are classy and straightforward to do. Consider adding interest with black and white patterned napkins or table runners. White roses in black vases would be perfect centerpieces. Or perhaps you would prefer wrought iron candelabra with white candles. Clear vases with black stones and white candles or white stones and black candles is another easy way to promote your color scheme. I also saw an idea where one bride used clear vases with a few ostrich feathers in each one. Talk about unique!

Because black and white are such traditional colors for a wedding, finding wedding favors should be easy to do. Consider unusual choices such as black licorice in a white box or black and white striped lollipops. Or perhaps you could choose a hobby or interest you and your fiancé have in common and use that as the inspiration for the favors. For example if you both enjoy tennis you could give black or white embroidered terrycloth headbands or towels.

Don't feel as though you are confined to simply black and white if you like this theme. You could also try black and champagne, black and silver, white and gold, or any other classy combination you choose. The key is to pick something you love and keep it simple.

Meaning of white roses?

My boyfriend of 2 months gave me a romantic surprise in the form of a dozen white roses (in a beautiful vase arranged with those little "babies breath" flowers).

I absolutely love them but this is my first time receiving flowers and I know that red roses are more of the predominate ones so I was curious as to what reason one might have for giving someone white roses instead.

I'm not complaining at all!
P.S. I'm not really sure its a "love" thing because recently he has started telling me he loves me...(I know it seems soon but i've never been in a relationship that felt as "right" as this one!)

A bouquet of white roses symbolizes Remembrance. White roses are also a symbol of Purity and Innocence. They symbolize Young Love. They are most often used in Bridal bouquets for their symbolism of New Beginings. They can also be meant to say Farewell.

Maybe he doesn't know what they symbolize at all. Maybe he just looked at them and felt they had all of your qualities : lovely, soft and warm.
