1. Stylish black
Perhaps white or cream shades aren't your thing, white doesn't suit your complexion, or you simply prefer color? Black is stylish, graceful, classic, and really suits everyone. Black is the new white, or at least for the daring... If you also choose a finish with brightly colored flowers on your dress, in your bouquet, or in your hair, you'll have that ‘Valentino’ effect in no time. Dress the groom in a chic, jet-black tuxedo or a black suit with a black shirt, and you'll match beautifully. The icing on the cake is also a brightly colored accent for him: add brightly colored flowers to his boutonnière, a brightly colored pocket square (cloth handkerchief) in his suit jacket, or brightly colored flowers to the lining of his blazer. Choose style, and remember: less is more.
2. Understated and elegant stationery
For your invitations, menu cards, and all other stationery, choose black paper with lush, colorful floral motifs and elegant white lettering. The bright colors provide a beautiful contrast to the simple black, and elegant curly letters make the invitation festive and not too businesslike. Also perfectly suited to this trend are jet-black chalkboards, which you can use as signposts at your party or as signs to announce your menu.
3. Black floral splendor
There aren't really that many different varieties, but you can certainly find flowers in deep purple, dark burgundy, and even completely black. Think of tulips, roses, arum lilies, dahlias, and orchids. When you combine them with lots of color, you tastefully brighten up the black. Your beautifully filled bouquet, flower arch, or backdrop (flower wall) will ensure that your black dress really comes into its own – Valentino style.
4. Black & gold: a winning combination
Choosing black for your styling is a challenge. Black as a base is fine, but always complement it with enough color. Preferably stick to the same color palette to keep it calm. For example, combine black with a maximum of three additional shades, such as a nude tone (powder pink), a pastel (soft pink), and a bright color (fuchsia). You can repeat this for any color (e.g., shades of blue, yellow, green, or red). Add gold to these combinations (for example, the cutlery, candlesticks, or vases) and brightly colored flower arrangements (in your chosen color scheme) and you have a top-notch styling. Very festive and super stylish.
5. Waterfall of marzipan roses
Admittedly, a black wedding cake is really daring. But why not? The cake fits perfectly into the picture and undoubtedly tastes delicious. Have the cake decorated with a waterfall of sugared and marzipan colorful roses and possibly even edible brightly colored flowers. Cut the cake together and take out the first slice. How beautiful is the combination of black frosting with a filling of light sponge cake and bright red raspberries. Beautiful and oh so delicious...
