Ban.do? I do. Especially if I get to wear one of these exquisite little pretties. You know by now I have an unquenchable yearning to collect unnecessary (yet to-die-for) headpieces. The word headband just doesn’t do these little gems justice.

good enough for t. swift, good enough for me

The best part of the ban.do collection is there is a line for everyone. The bridal collection features all white and sparkles and floral with the occasional oversized bow. If you’re a bride on a budget there’s an affordable line called heart by ban.do and features products all under $50. And if you need a flare of drama on your big day (like SJP – I mean even I wouldn’t put a full bird on my head) then check out their black label collection. Wearing a piece like that will ensure all eyes are on you for your big entrance.

Not getting married? No worries. Me neither. This just means we don’t need to buy Aunt Martha a dinner plate and have a larger budget for sparkly headbands.

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.
