Black & White Sweetness

We all know that I love hand-made invitations, so naturally these gorgeous hand-sewn canvas envelopes rock my world.  So much so that I decided to build an inspiration board around them.  This one’s all about chic, feminine, delicate style!

Aren’t black and white bouquets adorable?  You so rarely see them (unless you count anemonies with black centers) and they really add a punch but are still neutral.  And I love the low and minimal centerpieces on the tablescape from Divine Studio (thanks Vane!). 

What are your opinions on the white bridesmaids’ dress?  Would you go white?  Why or why not?

we heart your comments!
  1. Great board–that cake is fun! And I personally love the look of an all white wedding with white bridesmaid dresses, although since I’m not a stick thin gal, I rarely wear all white–um, just on my own wedding day, and even then I opted for ivory–but it is gorgeous in my opinion!

  2. I AM SO LOVING THIS!!! I have decided on an all white affair for my 10 yr anniversary, which is 4 yrs away. I know that’s a long ways off, but I have to start planning early so that my vision plays out exactly the way I want it to. Inspiration is already in place from this board.

  3. love the board! ex-nay on the white bm dresses because its the brides day to shine and standout!!

  4. I’d totally go white- throw in unexpected, mix it up! The bride is always going to shine out no matter what!

  5. I’m in love with the dachshund with the bowtie! So adorable! :)

  6. Yes! This is stunning. I strongly considered having my maids in short ivory dresses to complement by long ivory gown. I’ve also heard of asking the wedding guests to wear all black so the bride is the only one wearing a light color. I think that would be fun.

    I really love that this is a black and white board, but it is still soft and pretty. The ivory with the crisp white look really amazing together. I have a hard time imagining how they would pair up together.
