Calling all modern brides! This fresh and cheerful color scheme should be right up your alley. The traditional black and white color scheme can be brought into the 21st century by pairing it with bright sunny yellow accents. I absolutely love this color scheme for spring and summer weddings!

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.

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!
