I first stumbled upon the photo below of a bride on Samuel Lippke’s blog and she looked so elegant with a few bold black accessories that I was inspired to continue with the theme. There is something about the combination of black and white that is refreshing. It’s not new but it always looks fresh and there are so many ways to update it. I love adding accents of gold and charcoal to soften the effect. I even stumbled upon chalkboard invites on Etsy that arrive with the most adorable piece of chalk for your guests to reply.
