    I think it would look fab. I was thinking pink for mine but dont want it to look to fairy like, and my idea was to add black in. x

    I think it will look amazing. It was my first choice but the other half stuck the brakes on thinking it was too harsh and agreed to Pewter and White ( most of my stuff is black though, he wont be able to tell lol)

    mine is cerise/fushia pink, Ivory and silver ( a small amount of pale pink too) with a butterfly theme.
    My tables are being alternate pink table cloths and ivory table cloths.
    My chief bridesmaid (my sister) is wearing a cerise/fushia pink floor length dress with a pale pink sash and the rest are wearing pale pink knee length dresses with cerise/fushia pink sashes. Flowergirls are maybe wearing ivory puffy princess dresses with cerise pink bows. grooms men are wearing pale pink cravats and H2B and our son will be wearing cerise pink cravats. There is pink everywhere in our wedding. Sounds rather sickly but i've got ideas for everything and it's honestly not as bad as it sounds, lol.

    Black and ivory (my dress is ivory) was my original idea but i didn't want my bridesmaids in black and my sister really wanted a pink dress so the rest of the wedding built up around that idea.

    My daughter who's 12( and a tomboy) is being my bridemaid and when I asked her she said yes but I'm not wearing anything girly...hence the navy which she looks gorgous in,but shes already asked if she can change into trousers at the reception lol x

    My daughter is almost 3 and is already showing signs of being a tomboy. she will not wear a dress no matter how much i try. so she may have to be pinned down on the day to get the dress on her, lol. one of my sisters will be 8 she's also being a flower girl and is a tomboy, so getting them ready should be great fun, lol

    i love black & white, im having it too! wer going for a 1940s look, so wanted everything 2look like a black &white photograph! also found a cake maker whos going to use black &white photos (old family wedding pictures) into an edible "band" to put round my cake, as black ribbon just didnt look elegant enough. (im putting the band onto a M&S cake, so whole cakes costing under £100! my h2b nearly died when we had a cake quote for over £500!)

    We are having black & white too. After looking for a while for table decorations we got goldfish bowls with clear crystals and a tea light in them. We got black rose petals for the bowls to sit on. when I get round to making one up I will post a picture if anyone is interested in seeing them. x

    My theme is black, ivory and red roses. So for our centre pieces we have black lily vases with red roses in and black beer grass and crystals which will be surrounded by 4 tealights and clear table crystals

    Guests were told it was a black and white theme, however they did not need to wear the black and white, most did and it looked great.

    We went for Black and Ivory in the end. My dress is ivory, bridesmaid dresses are black and ivory, groom and groomsmen in Dark grey suits, H2B has ivory cravat and waistcoat and the other gorromsmen have pale pink. I'v gone for pinks in my flowers.
    Ivory Table cloths, with black napkins, ivory chair covers, black bows, and cupcake stands as centre pieces with back cases, ivory icing rose tops and little sparkly pink icing butterflies balancing on them.

    Black and white can look classy and elegant, maybe accent it with sparkles and crystals for your table decorations. The centre pieces could be clear glass bows filled with black crystals and maybe white lilys or other flowers inside.

    Good luck!

    I wanted black purple and silver for my colour scheme but not 100% found loads of ideas for how it could look but think it'll depend on the colour of the dress I go for in the end!
