Leigh Anna + Ben's Modern Black-and-White Wedding
Even something as simple as a black-and-white color scheme can be done in so many different styles and feel entirely different with the decor, accessories and flowers. Our couple Leigh Anna and Ben wanted a modern, sleek take on it, complete with unique textures and moodiness with pops of black. The Hillside Estate ended up the perfect backdrop that helped the event feel classy and refined.
For the ceremony, we designed arrangements that sat on black rectangular stands at the altar - these were full of bright white blooms in all different textures. More flowers extended out from the stands on the ground. At the start of the aisle, we placed all-white arrangements and styled them with candles.
Cocktail hour on the patio was the perfect opportunity for unique moody black touches - we used black foliage for an accent throughout the mantle installation. The seating chart had margaritas for the taking and small floral clusters on the signs and surrounding them on the ground were the perfect touch.
Rentals helped transform the reception space - sleek, modern tables were brought in and we designed both oversized arrangements to sit on tall stands and low compote arrangements to line them. Candles were another major decor element - pillars, taper candles and votives in both black and white made these tablescapes feel full and layered. Baby’s breath accented the compote arrangements for a contrast with some of the moodier touches in the room.
The bouquets were designed in a classic, elevated style with long-stem roses and orchids - a mix of textures that felt perfectly bridal and popped against the bridesmaids’ black gowns.
