Hi I just saw a thread on champagne , gold and Ivory, so I thought I would copy. Anly ladies with a black and white theme (with various accent colours if you want to join in) it would be great if you could share your ideas. I am having black and white with lime green. Here are a couple of the things I have already

Mrs B2B i love that cake too and it is my first choice. H2B likes the 2nd on. I would love to see your pics. Sara I like the apples they are a bit different. I made 1 or 2 they are really easy to do, I just cut the name tag onto card and put a grip through them and the apple, dead simple. Theres lots of similar fruit ideas depending on your colours.
LeighS feel free to share your ideas and I am happy for you to 'steal' anything I put up here. I thought about making my own cake but I am useless at decorating them, given how bad I am I actually thought it would be cheaper just to buy it rather than make hundreds of them lol, good luck dont forget to give us picks of it x

Thankyou KatG. I'm going to be making my save the date cards next. I used to make greeting cards for people and haven't had time to craft much due to my job so I'm looking forward to being able to do them myself. Yours are really lovely, I hope mine turn out as nice as yours. xx

i got married nearly a year ago, our theme was black and white, my bms wore all black apart from a little pearl necklace, theres a few pics on here off my day x
the greatest thing is to love and to be loved in return
Our theme is Black, White and Red (pillar box red) so similar colours to other ladies on here.... i love the monochrome contrast of using black and white.
Finally marrying the love of my life !!

We are black and white theme too, haven't quite decided on the accent colour will most likely be purple/ damson wine colour. Have always loved the elegance of black and white and chrome. Plus everything comes in black an white so it's easier to find things! The barn is black an white inside too so venue matches our theme! Looking at this sort of thing for the cake, if anyone knows of other good cakes on a budget other than the well know mark and the spencer..
Possible cake
CommentAuthorkrazykitty
we are having a monochrome theme with silver accents and it was going to be aqua but we on a serious budget so the bm dresses are at least 2 different blues lol but i have a few pics in my album of things!! xx

Love those invites lala, i was going to ask people to wear black and white but MIL2B asked me not to as she thinks she looks bad in black lol. I like the cake idea, I will keep my eyes open for a budget one, do you want fruit cake Sprucey83. Krazykitty I like the idea of silver accents have you thought about black dresses if you are on a budget that might be easier as you can buy them on the high street x

We're having a black and white theme with a hint of baby pink, very small amounts of pink. At some point I do intend to upload all my pictures to my albums.
The cake in the first post, i've actually seen at a wedding (me and H2B work for a catering company and do ALLOT of weddings) and they had that cake the other week, it looks amazing in real life. They had it sat on a clear box, filled with fairy lights, and the box was draped in black organza, it looks stunning!
I've uploaded a picture of my BMs dress to my album, and the ideas for my flowers. If you want to have a look x
CommentAuthorKATG
Mrs Cerutti 2b I really like your BM dresses and your shoes!! My BMs range from and size 10 to size 18, so this style seems to suit them all. I love that cake design. I have looked at some others but my friends mum is a cake maker and she assures me that she can make it.
I am having black and white with lime green (like the save the date card above). I am thinking of lime green shoes and hepburn style gloves but my BMs are not too keen lol

Our theme is black and white with Silver as our accent colour. There are going to be certain things which are ivory instead of white (my dress!) but i love the colour scheme as a whole. I've uploaded some of our options to my albums.

The BMs dresses are from a well known department store, beginning with a D, reasonable priced too, and I've got bridesmaids from a 8 to 18, and it suited them all. As its lovely and floaty over any lumps and bumps. I'll post the link on your wall :) xx
CommentAuthorMrs Cerutti2b
Love the idea of the lime green shoes btw, nice way to add the splash of colour. I've gone for pink ribbons in flowers, to add the colour to my BMs, and a pink flower clip for their hair x
CommentAuthorGuessWho
Mine is black and ivory themed. The BM's will all be in long black one shouldered dresses with diamond sparkly shoes, hair in a low back bun and diamante head piece. The grromsmen will all be in Tux's. I am going to be making my STD's this week, they are minature wine bottles with labels on showing a pic of the venue the date and the link to the website.
As we got engaged in New York I am having a 4 tiered cake in ivory with the black New York black skyline around the bottom and edible crystals for the lights on the skyscrapers. In the middle of the tables there will be black silohette post cards of sky scrapers for guests to write messages and peg them to a rope so we hopefully get the skyline of New York along one wall.
I have white charis with black table cloths - still undecided on the centre pieces yet. - Love this theme and your ideas sound great xx

CommentAuthorKATG
Mrs Cerutti2b your BM dresses look lovely. I was going to buy the long version of that dress for my BMs, but the ones in the shop were damaged and they didnt have the right sizes on line, I agree its a beautiful, floaty dress that looks fantastic on all sizes.
GuessWho you ideas sound great, I especially love the save the date card Idea. I'd love to see a pic when they are done.
I bought flower girl dresses yesterday, I have put a pic in my album, they are all white but I think they are lovely ;)
