Black & White Wedding
Black and white is the most modern, timeless, and high-contrast palette there is — clean, editorial, and effortlessly formal. It suits black-tie and city weddings and takes a single accent (greenery or one bold color) beautifully. Here are the hex codes and the pieces to pull it together.

Styling tips
- Add greenery or white florals to keep an all-black-and-white room from feeling stark.
- Play with pattern — stripes, checkerboard — for a modern, editorial edge.
- One accent color (red, gold, or sage) makes the contrast feel designed.
