A black and white affair is classic - but that doesn’t mean you can’t add fun touches here and there to make this timeless color palette modern. Keep your black and white theme dominant in your major components but add bits of color in the details such as on your cake, wedding reception tables or flowers. Here is this week’s black and white wedding inspiration board.

Also, I love these white flowers with black centers. Those reception tables look amazing, showing you can strictly follow your black and white theme and still look modern, fun and stylish!

When planning a wedding using the timeless black and white color palette, you should stick to the classics like this Damask Black Tie wedding stationary by Modern Girl Invitations. The vintage damask pattern keeps these invitations classic while the playful line of piping adds a touch of modern design.

Complete the classic tone of your wedding invitations by sending out a traditional suite of wedding stationary to your guests, including a response card, venue direction and even recommended accommodations.

Exhausted by the planning of your wedding already? Give yourself extra time to relax after your big day is over and pre-order your thank you cards.

Your Modern Girl Invitations order comes with free ground shipping – use that saved money to buy yourself an extra margarita on your honeymoon, you deserve it!

In a black and white wedding, the white should not be forgotten. And this venue is to die for. This Laguna Beach destination wedding has an amazing view, but brides don’t worry - the essence of this wedding venue could be recreated anywhere. Whether you hire professional or attempted to do it yourself, this fabric draped wedding tent could be your wedding venue.

I love how romantic the fabric and flower petal aisle are. Plus the huge vases of flowers at both ends of the aisles are enough to convince me. Toss containers of white flowers and rented white furniture everywhere and you could create the crisp, clean white wedding venue wherever you and your guests may be. And all that white really makes the sharp black details pop.

I love themed bars. Not just the ones that serve gin and tonics or margaritas (though those are close to the top of my list) but any type of bar. It’s the aesthetic of all my options lying in front of me combined with being able to pick anything I want. Plus, having a bar of choices rather than one option would be nice for your wedding guests. So whether you have a liquor bar or some other table of delectable options, have fun with it and play up your wedding palette. You can go with a simple bar of tasty treats, like this black and white candy bar.

yogurt covered pretzels are my fav

Or you can incorporate your black and white theme with a chalk board and give your guests a wedding reception activity, like this cupcake decorating bar.

i love chalk boards at weddings

And every guest loves an open bar. So definitely consider that too.

On a total side note, how cute are these little guys? Maybe not appropriate for your black and white wedding, but what a great way to continue your wedding after the ceremony in your kitchen.
