While it is a classic “little dress” color, black may not be the first hue to come to mind when picking out your wedding colors. But before you toss out the idea, consider how black can create a stunning wedding look with these tips.

Put it in a Pattern

You can avoid a fully darkened look by only using black in small doses within a pattern. Black and white stripes, checks, or swirly floral patterns bring big contrast to your color scheme without overwhelming the scene.

Brighten It Up

Black makes the perfect backdrop for a bright pop of color. Pink and gold are popular colors to throw in the mix, but most any color works with the neutrality of black, so experiment with your favorites!

Make it Sparkle

Black turns glam when it’s made of sequins! Our Black Sequins runner can add just a touch of glitz to your tables. This look is perfectly paired with gold for an Art Deco, Great Gatsby-inspired style!

Bring in Rustic Vibes

Garnishing a wooden farm table with black puts a rustic spin on the color scheme. Sheer overlays and runners can add some interest and texture to a farm table without covering up the natural beauty of a wooden tabletop.

Go Monochromatic

There’s no reason to be afraid of an all-dark wedding look! Go completely black to create a bold backdrop. With the right airy details, like clear chairs and dishware, you can still create a romantic scene with an intense color, a look that your guests are sure to remember!
