For the traditional bride and groom, a damask or flourish-patterned favor is a great choice.  For example, the damask covered candle favors in the upper left hand corner of the collage or the black and ivory flourish-patterned boxes in the middle would be a classic choice.  The boxes arrive with the matching ribbon so you simply assemble and fill them with your favorite candy, mint or trinket for a stunning presentation to your guests.  My personal favorite in this color palette are the “Timeless Traditions” black and white photo wedding coaster favors in the lower right hand corner.   The 3.5″ square glass coasters are packaged in sets of two and arrive with a white sheer ribbon and a center card that reads “For You”.  The white floral pattern on the jet black glass background is beautiful.

No matter what favor you choose, your guests are bound to be thankful that you cared enough to give them a little something to take home with them!

In search of the perfect wedding cake….a picture is worth a thousand words so I’ve put together a montage of photos of some of my favorite black, pink and white wedding cakes (and cupcakes too). As you can see in the collage below, the options for incorporating pink into the cake are limitless.  Want some whimsy?  Try a retro black polka dot on top a bright white or pink fondant or how about a topsy-turvy style cake that incorporates round, square and tilted cake layers.  For a more traditional look, use pink roses, black and white damask, or classic scroll work with pink ribbons on your cake.  My personal favorite is the square tiered cake that incorporates a monogram initial within a large hot pink circle on the top layer….unique and fun all at the same time!

Having a cherry blossom themed wedding?  The black, white and pink color scheme may be the perfect choice for you.  Be sure to also check out my cherry blossom themed cake ideas in a previous post.

If you’ve been a Here Comes The Blog follower, you know that I’m all about the dessert so I went on a quest to find my favorite black and white wedding cakes that featured bold yellow accents. What I found was a fantastic mix of both traditional and modern wedding cakes that I wanted to share with you. Check out the collection of cake ideas below.  Notice how black and white is used as the primary color scheme, but all of the cakes utilize bright yellow dots, colorful daisies, yellow roses, or yellow icing patterns to create this amazing array of images.  I believe that sunflowers with a dark black center would also be a fantastic accent flower choice for this color scheme.  If you love any of these cake designs, be sure to print out the photo and take it along to your wedding cake designer so they can get a feel for your style and color preferences.

Finally, check out the amazing black, white and yellow wedding inspiration boards at Wedding Fanatic.  They have ideas for all aspects of wedding planning.

Planning a Spring Wedding? Nothing symbolizes spring more than the emergence of green foliage so why not tie a fresh Springtime green into your wedding color scheme! One of my favorite things about green is the wide range of hues to choose from….lime, a yellow-green chartreuse, or a bright grass green are my favorite shades to pair with black and white.

If you are looking for some inspiration, check out the collage of wedding cake photos below. I’ve pulled together some of my favorite black and white cakes that feature green accents.  Whether you are going for a fun whimsical look or an elegant more traditional look, you can utilize green to achieve amazing results.  Patterns such as polka dots, stripes or tilted layers can be used to create more laid-back cake designs while patterns such as damask, quilting, and flourish can be used for traditional cakes.  Accenting with green bows or flowers such as calla lilies or orchids can also add a bit of pop to a beautiful wedding cake.

Want a bit of whimsy?  Consider a topsy-turvy style wedding cake where the layers appear misaligned and seem to tilt as though they might fall over at any minute.  For good cake bakers, the threat of a great topple is truly an illusion.  Another way to bring in a whimsical touch is through the use of interesting patterns such as retro polka dots, diamonds, or stripes.

Prefer to have a classic style?  No problem, use red roses as accents on and around the cake.  Or use a classic pattern that is applied on the white fondant such as toile, damask or any type of elegant scrollwork.  The cake in the lower left corner of the collage that utilizes pearl-shaped modeling chocolate along with black bows around each layer would be a great choice for a classic, elegant black and white wedding.

If you got married in Las Vegas and are throwing a celebration party when you get home, a black and white cake with red accents will tie in the Vegas theme perfectly.  After all cards, dice, and poker chips all play off a black, white and red color scheme.

A classic cake or one with a bit of whimsy? 
No matter which one you choose, red is always a great choice with black and white.

And don’t forget that black and white pairs perfectly with red, pink, lime green or yellow so if you plan to use one of these accent colors in your other wedding accessories, you should carry it through to the cake as well.  In future posts, I will have collages that show black and white cakes with each one of these colors.  Be sure to check back in the next few weeks!

How is the look achieved?
A simple round table is draped in white satin fabric that is overlaid with an elegant black/silver table runner.  Silver charger plates, silverware, and champagne flutes featuring a silver stem and engagement ring design, and black napkins with silver-plated diamond napkin rings provide the essentials for each of the dinner guests.  A beautiful white floral bouquet constructed from white dahlias, white lilies and greenery provides a central focal point that sits directly below the black bead covered chandelier.   The floral centerpiece is further accented with black love votive candles, white tall pillar candles in glass vases and a trio of glass diamond-shaped tealight candle holders.  Guests can easily find their tables because a tall silver wire number holder along with the number card is also placed on each reception table.  White tea/coffee cups and white heart-shaped salt/pepper shakers are also place on each table.  Finally, the wedding favors are placed at each place setting. Favors include mini tux and wedding dress favor bags filled with candy and personalized black and white favor tags.  The effect of all these components is simply stunning!
