Color Week 2009: Classic Black and White Part II

Here is another twist on the classic black and white: there is an added burst of pink--my favorite color on the whole planet!

This is a "throwback" inspiration board I created some time ago for a 2009 wedding. The celebration that was planned was just for every guests to have a grand time. The chosen color palette was black, white and pink. I just love that color combination! With a little damask thrown in for extra oomph. {Safely substitute the damask with zebra print, and, voila!}

While the ceremony was very minimally designed, the reception was packed with what we call "wedding bling." Wedding bling is any element that is a part of your wedding ceremony or reception that adds a little "pop" or that unexpected touch to your celebration.

A caricature artist for the guests
All-white ultra lounge during the cocktail hour with pink siggys
Pink up lighting in the ballroom
Old skool photo booth
Pink, black and white candy buffet
Customized GOBO on the dance floor
Crystal and ribbon picture tribute to the married couples of the families
And candles everywhere



The dress on the board is the actual dress that the bride chose. And it was $499 at David's Bridal, no less. I think a great principle was followed here: spend your money where it counts the most. No wedding guest (except me, maybe) will know that your wedding gown isn't a couture, designer gown that was $7500+. But they will be able to tell if you went cheap on the food and drink.

Oh--I'm swooning just thinking about this wedding! So much fun and interaction. I hope this board has definitely inspired you.
