Black color has always symbolized severity, elegance, mystery, and life wisdom. However, most people associate it with grief, sadness and mourning. Just a dozen years ago it would have been impossible to imagine a wedding ceremony decorated in dark, gloomy colors.
But demand creates supply, and a black wedding is no longer a novelty today. With correctly selected accessories in shades such as gold, silver, scarlet or white, the wedding celebration will become an unforgettable, with a touch of shocking, chic event according to all the canons of wedding fashion.
Wedding dresses Total Black
If the bride chose a black dress, then classic models, mermaid-style dresses, and dresses with a train will look stylish. Dresses with an asymmetrical top look especially stylish. A wonderful addition to such a dress can be a small black pillbox hat and a veil.
Individual black elements in the bride's dress look advantageous: the bodice of the dress and hem are trimmed with black lace; the hem of the dress is embroidered with black pearls and bugles; vertical black ornament in a mermaid dress - the scope for imagination is limitless.
A traditional white bride's dress will look unusual if you complement it with black accessories: belt, gloves, cape, handbag, shoes.
The groom's outfit in black is a classic, but it will look completely new if you complement it not with the usual white, but with a shirt in black (for example, choose an anthracite color that shimmers with silver).
Dress for witnesses and bridesmaids
The attire of witnesses at a Total Black style wedding should be given special attention: choose shades of black (for example, ash black). Witness boutonnieres decorated with lace and black beads look stylish.
Bridesmaids, choosing black dresses for a themed wedding, can demonstrate their excellent taste: it is advisable that their dresses be the same shade, then it will be a complete ensemble. A veil for bridesmaids is a stylish accessory, and this accessory suits all representatives of the fair sex.
Important: to decorate a wedding in black, you can use textured fabrics: velvet, veil, lace, etc.
What colors are preferred for wedding decorations in the 2022-2023 season?
The best colors for a wedding in 2022 are aristocratic and noble shades, as close as possible to natural ones. This can be either a wedding design in pastel colors or rich, rich ones. When choosing a catchy base color, be sure to observe the correct combination and proportions with other accompanying colors. For example, if the wedding is decorated in fuchsia, it would be appropriate to dilute the decoration with soft tones of ivory or light beige, but a second straightforward color, for example, white, will already add unnecessary pomp. Perhaps it should be used only in small quantities and exclusively in details.
If the newlyweds doubt that they will be able to perfectly select combinations of contrasting colors, it is better to stick to neutral options
For example, a wedding in beige is fashionable and elegant. In addition, a wedding in ivory color - soft white, ivory - will look sophisticated and aristocratic. The modern trend also includes peach, “ delicious” cream colors , smoky shades, blue-lilac palettes, pistachio, silver-pearl.

Wedding ambiance in black
Wedding decor in black is a difficult, but very interesting task for the decorator. Discuss all the details in advance and in detail - and then the guests will be pleasantly surprised to see the surroundings of the celebration.
The design of the banquet area at such a themed wedding requires the presence of tablecloths and dishes in black. As an option: on a white tablecloth, black dishes and accessories (napkins, vases, etc.) will look contrasting. Place cards for guests, designed in black style, are another stylish addition. Chairs decorated with black bows are a detail that will help maintain the overall style of the wedding.
The wedding arch will be a real decoration of the celebration: when decorating it, you can use satin ribbons, large transparent beads, lace and tulle - all in black. It’s difficult to find artificial black flowers to decorate a wedding arch, but the effort is worth it, because such a composition will look elegant.
Original invitations
Invitation cards made in black color will definitely intrigue guests with their non-standard, surprising appearance. The simplest thing you can do is to write text in white ink on a sheet of black paper.
Then roll it up into an envelope, glue white satin ribbons to the edges and tie them into a beautiful bow. That's it - the exclusive invitation is ready! The following materials are also suitable for making stylish and effective wedding cards:
- thick cards in white and black with embossing;
- paper of any shade corresponding to the theme of the event;

This can be a laconic design: several ribbons in shades of black on the hood and rosettes on the car handles in the same range. An unusual accessory – artificial flowers on a black tulle ribbon.
Entertainment at a monochrome wedding
Wedding fun will be remembered for a long time if you add a “colorful” twist. Here are ideas that will delight your guests:
- Quiz on knowledge of old films . These could be silent films, early Soviet films, later monochrome films (“Sky over Berlin”, “Angel A”). You can also choose films whose titles mention shades of the holiday: “Black rose is the emblem of sadness, red rose is the emblem of love,” “Black cat, white cat.”
- Film "Our Love Story " . Prepare a video in the spirit of a love story in advance. This could be a slideshow of your photos, or you could come up with a short story. The main thing is the lyrical mood and diachromatic shades.
- Dance battle . Guests are divided into two teams and compete for the best performance of the dance of little swans. Both teams wear tutus - black and white.
- Competition for scenes from retro films . Guests must act out an episode from a famous film. The most artistic team receives the prize.
Black and white wedding cake
Music can also be themed . Let it be “Black or White” by Michael Jackson, “Black and White” by Valeria, “Nights in White Satin” by The Moody Blues. Songs with a “white” or “black” plot (“Snow is spinning” by VIA “Flame”) are suitable.
Stylish accessories
Ideally, all these accessories will be designed in the same style.
- The bride's bouquet can be decorated with black ribbons (satin and lace), beads of various sizes, cameos and even feathers. The final result when creating such a masterpiece depends on the skill of the florist, so be very careful when choosing a florist salon.
- The pillow for the rings should also match the overall style of the wedding: textured fabric, lace, glass beads and ribbons – all in black.
- Invitation and place cards - when designing them, you can use scrapbooking elements: perforation, embossing, etc. You should not limit your imagination in this matter, and then the result will be impressive.
Important: A wedding setting in black presupposes the presence of accessories in the same style: a bride’s bouquet, boutonnieres, a pillow for rings, invitations, a folder for a marriage certificate, a wedding treasury, etc.

A cake that will surprise guests
The wedding cake at such an original wedding should also be unusual! Modern confectioners work with mastic of different colors, including black (food coloring is used). A combination of two colors of mastic: for example, white elements on a black background when decorating a wedding cake look really cool. If the wedding cake in the noir color scheme is multi-tiered, it will look especially advantageous. To decorate a candy bar with themed sweets, you can use black balloons and a paper garland in the same color scheme. The graphite tablecloth in the candy bar is another interesting detail.
Preparing a wedding in black will require more effort than preparing a traditional event with a white bridesmaid dress, but the result is worth it: it will be an unforgettable celebration!
Important: when decorating a candy bar for a wedding in black, you can use lollipops, caramel and baked goods - all black (this effect is achieved using food coloring). Drink glasses made of transparent black glass will look stylish.
A wedding cake
A wedding cake designed in the holiday style will be a pleasant surprise for everyone.
A black cake covered in velvet and decorated with golden curls made of soft caramel and buds of white roses sculpted from sweet mastic looks interesting and intriguing.
An excellent option would be a multi-tiered dessert decorated with icing in contrasting colors.
For example, the lowest one is in black tones, the higher one is in scarlet, and so on they alternate, and the initials of the young couple in the form of dark chocolate monograms are used as decoration.
