If you are reading this, we're guessing that you're still plotting that décor Pinterest board for your wedding day. Nailing down your wedding theme and colour palette is step number one, and once decided, the rest seamlessly falls into place as you add your own personality. You just need to decide your aesthetic - bright and colourful or pared back and minimalist (or somewhere in between!). This post is definitelyf for the couple who falls on the latter end of the scale, as we bring you slick décor inspiration for a monochrome minimalist wedding embracing the chic allure of a black and white colour palette. This timeless theme is a cocktail of simplicity and elegance, shaken and stirred with a modern twist. So without further ado, let us inspire you.
The Ceremony
Opting for a neutral palette for your ceremony space, can have a calming and inviting ambience, not to mention that it looks that crisp, clean and utterly fresh. If you're going for black and white here, bring it to life with lots of greenery such as ruscus and eucalyptus, with flickering lights in glass cylinders or vases with pillar candles adding the warmth of candlelight. This really is a seasonless look and perfect for those who adore simple foliage and florals. Perhaps a white aisle runner to complete the look?
Top Tip: Re-use you décor for your wedding reception. The greenery and candles will look divine on your guests' tables or placed at the entrance. A floral or foliage arch can make for a really special photo background for your guests to enjoy, simply place a bench in front and voilà, a perfectly chic spot to get photos with your friends!
The Tablescape
When it comes to your tablescape wedding décor there are a few alluring options, and it's easy to create maximum impact with a relatively simple mix-and-match black and white set up. Geometric stands, floral bowls, stationery, linens, charger plates, tapered candles, napkins, tablerunners and table cloths with elements of black and white can enhance the look of your guest tables.
Top Tip: Instead of choosing a flat fold with your napkins, knot them for some extra texture, modernity and depth.
The Stationery
First impressions are everything, so reflect your aesthetic with a modern minimal stationery style from the first contact with your guests on the save the dates or invites. Then carry this through to your signage, menus and place name cards on the day. The less is more look celebrates blank space and modern typography. Trust your stationery supplier to guide you.
Tips: Add a custom black wax seal on your invites, as the ultimate finishing touch.
The Wedding Cake
Sleek, chic and delicious! The yummy white fondant style will never go out of fashion, and pops perfectly against a mostly black cake display. Or why not swap for a black wedding cake or perhaps go two-toned black and white, with either a marble effect design or bold colour-blocked tiers. Add to the modern minimalist vivbe with textured edges, exquisite fine art detail and tiny foliage stems to dress the sweet creation. For the display itself, assign it to an area that gets attention. Hoops, cake arches, floral arrangements or clusters of candles can truly beautify that 'cutting the cake' moment.
Top Tip: Your baker might have their own props for you to hire. Or if you want to try to DIY your display, spray paint a hoola-hoop black and add some fresh greenery to it. Add some accessories like black candlesticks, or tapered candles to sit beside the cake.
