Black & White Wedding Cakes

February 18th, 2010 | Author: DessertLover

Many brides and grooms think that a purely black and white monochrome wedding cake design might be boring, but I'm here to tell you that is definitely not the case. There are so many design variations available that you can have a unique and extraordinary black and white cake that has an air of sophistication too. In the photo collage below, you can see some of my favorite black and white wedding cakes. I've tried to choose a good cross-section of different designs so that you can see all the great options, patterns, and themes. Consider a white fondant or icing base with black accents such as swirls, polka dots, black ribbon, a silhouette of the bride and groom, stripes and even silver/black/faux diamond jewels. If you want some whimsy or drama, how about zebra stripes or large black feathers? The options are really endless.

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!

Black & White Reception Table Setting Idea

February 9th, 2010 | Author: Kim

I was so impressed with this elegant black and white reception table setting that I saw in the Weddingstar catalog...I immediately thought that I needed to share it with our Here Comes The Blog readers. No color scheme is more elegant than classic black and white and you can see that upscale, elegant look in the photo below.

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!
